-This post was about Black Friday which was the day after thanksgiving. Down below are a description of what black friday is, what takes part during this even and my own thoughts on this fiasco.
What is Black Friday?
Answer: Black Friday, is the Friday following Thanksgiving Day. This event is the official start of the traditional Christmas shopping season. The "Black Friday" name originated in Philedelphia. During this time, most stores with sales are open an hour or even two hours later than they usually are, giving people enough time to find the things they need.
Online Shopping vs. In-store Shopping
Advantages of Online shopping:
-Avoid crowded malls and stores
-Save Gas
-Available all hours
-Compare prices easily
Disadvantages of Online Shopping:
-Shipping and handeling fee's
-Delay in recieving product
-Cant personally examine the item
Advantages of In-Store Shopping:
-Get to personally examine the item you are buying
-Dont have to pay extra for shipping and handeling
-Walk out the store with the item personally in hand
Disadvantages of In-Store Shopping:
-Crowded places
-Not available at all hours
-Limited items in store
-Cannont easily compare prices
Thoughts
I am not one who will wake up extra early just to get a good spot in line, so I can be one of the firsts to get into a store. Neither am I, one to surf the net for good prices on Black Friday. Even though you do get some great deals during this time, to me it is not worth fighting and pushing over items in a store just for that moment of satisfaction. I'd rather go the day after and do my holiday shoppings.
