Why I wanted to write a little something about it is because over the weekend, I heard on the news that people were already starting to camp out in front of stores like Best Buy for Black Friday deals. I'm sorry, what?!!! A week before people are lining up?! That's just crazy.
Why I don't like this? Well first of all, it is not an EASY way to save money. You have to camp out in the freezing cold and brave getting trampled to death to really get the good deals. Not worth it in my opinion.
Second, and most importantly, this takes away from Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving is supposed to all be about relaxing and being with family. We as a culture have become so materialistic, we are doing away with a tradition about GIVING THANKS for what we have instead to get more for cheap, cheap, cheap!
So that's my rant about Black Friday. I don't do it. In fact, once Christmas shopping season starts, you will hardly ever see me near big stores and don't even think about the mall! I try to do all my shopping online so that way I don't have to deal with trying to find parking, dealing with the pushing and shoving, waiting in line forever. Plus, you can usually find something more customized for each person.
Well, I don't want to leave you all with no tips on how to save money. So here's the "Black Friday" that I take part in: Shop Amazon - Black Friday Deals Week - Big Savings, No Waiting
