I probably wrote something similar last year, but I feel the need to write about it again this year. I am thankful that in Maine, we don't have shopping for the most part on Thanksgiving.
So, how has your "Black Friday" shopping gone so far? We’re you out at midnight? Have you rested since you started? Every "Black Friday" I think of those who work retail. Yes, they don’t have a chance to watch the clock or get bored but what a day I’m sure.
It's just over a week away from Thanksgiving, one of my favorite holidays. Why you ask? Because it’s a holiday involving loads of food among other things. Another year comes around with national ads telling you about the great savings you can get on Thanksgiving. So far in Maine Black Friday door buster deals start on Friday morning as early as 12:01 am, but nothing major is open on Thanksgiving.
Here's the Saturday-after-Thanksgiving tradition: a smartphone video of a Black Friday riot. This is in Moultrie, GA, and the swarms of people are grabbing cheap pay-as-you-go smartphones. But it's not the only shame to be happening, as the clip you've seen elsewhere isn't legit.
Leave it to Jimmy Kimmel and his crew to make America's favorite comic strip characters into greedy, dirty-mouthed misanthropes, just like the rest of us Black Friday shoppers!
It's not just the big-box stores like Walmart and Target who get mobbed by 'Black Friday' shoppers. Here you can watch as hundreds of women prepare to trample each other for fancy underwear at their local Victoria's Secret.
It's Black Friday, and you know what that means -- hiding in your home away from the world while people desperately claw at each other's faces to buy a Wii U for their kid. The madness is not for everybody. Some of us like to eat cold turkey all day and wonder how a person could be so hungover. For those of us who would rather spend time with our TVs watching 'Star Wars' than rioting over discount
This was the pre-dawn crowd at K-Mart in Augusta as I pulled in to get ready for the show this morning and they were still lining up in droves. Apparently K-Mart didn't get the memo....
The big gimmick this Thanksgiving season is retailers beginning their Black Friday sales on Thursday, a day previously reserved for turkey and football with the family. This has understandably annoyed retail employees, who now have to work on what was previously a holiday. It also isn't necessarily winning over consumers.
Holiday shoppers have been sharpening their skills for weeks in anticipation of all the Thanksgiving and Black Friday deals that are schedule to go down before most holiday dinners are even digested.
Everyone knows that the day after Thanksgiving -- aka Black Friday -- is the busiest day of the year for shopping. But apparently three wild deer got a bit confused as to the date and showed up at Kohl's department store four days early.
