Black Friday

Whats behind black friday?

Traditionally it is the day the most businesses are in the black from the entire year of not making a profit.

It is a huge retail day. Some people crowd the stores early in the morning to get a special item that is on sale. The national media declared this day to get especially good buys in electronics.

Clothes are more likely to be on sale before Thanksgiving and other items after Christmas.

So unless you were after some electronic toy or goodie the black Friday sales are not particularly good.

Target had "all hands on deck" for their black Friday sales in the electronic department. They had extra people including folks who understood the video games that were helping customers get the stuff they needed and to get out of the electronics area with their treasures.

We arrived about 11:00 and there still were many electronic goodies on sale. Many movies were left at 3.99 each. We bought a couple. We are now the proud owner of a duo guitar set up for the Wii including an extra set of songs beyond the aerosmith ones that come with it. Its the world tour package. I hope you will all come over at Christmas and try it out!\

After our Target adventure, we crossed the overpass to Ross.

I bought some very nice small casserole dishes at Ross for a third of their original price. Sue's claim to fame was that she did not buy any clothes!

We drove by the outlets in Gilroy. There was a line 500 feet long of people trying to get into the Sony outlet. The fire marshal's occupancy requirements were being obeyed. The people in line were not concerned. Not a parking spot was to be had..but

We ate at Healthy Choice on the outskirts of the mall for lunch dinner and everyone was happy. Sue opted out and eat Arby's on the road over the pass. She loves that "horsey" sauce.

I hope your "Black Friday" was successful.
