Black Friday – Love It or Hate It?

Black Friday ~ Do you love it or hate it?  Are you one of those folks that you just live for that day?  Are you one that is willing to put up with the crowds, waiting in long lines at midnight, deal with rude people?

If you are a person who is into Black Friday in a big way then you are willing to put up with all of this.  You are that one person who wants to bargain hunt, look for those great deals.  Wal-Mart, Target, etc., these retail stores have such hot offers that you would be willing to sit out in line for that midnight opening.

Then you have those people who are willing to wait in line, but then again, they are not willing to put up with rude people.  You have those folks who are pushing, shoving, yelling, etc.  They just absolutely make Black Friday an extremely bad experience for us folks who are patient and going with the flow.

I am not one of those Black Friday folks.  I tend to wait til the last minute to purchase my Christmas gifts.  Plus, for the past several years, I have been giving gift cards versus buying individually.  It makes it a lot easier for me.  Plus, it gives people the opportunity to be able to buy what they really want and need.

As for the bargain part of Black Friday?  Well, you can also get great bargains right after Christmas.  These bargains are just as good as Black Friday.  So this is when I’ll hit the stores if there is that special something I’m looking for or rather for my Christmas decorations.

So if you are out there for Black Friday, even at 6:00 p.m. at night, have fun and be careful.  Hopefully, all of you have gotten some great deals, but at the same time have not emptied your wallet.  With the economy, all of us know that times are tight and tough, so spending extravagantly can be dangerous.  Of course, unless you are able to and are not affected by the economy.

In any event, happy safe shopping and a very Merry Christmas to all.

Happy Black Friday!
