Venturous Randy Posted November 25, 2008 Share #26 Posted November 25, 2008 It is called Black Friday because it is the day that is supposed to most stores "in the black", moneywise. RandyA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pegscraper Posted November 25, 2008 Share #27 Posted November 25, 2008 Others of us think those people are absolutely crazy and no special is worth sleeping outside in 20* weather and fighting crowds to get in the door. Some places are opening at 4AM. Poor employees to have to be there at that hour. I stay as far away from all this as I can. My Christmas shopping is done long before the Christmas rush.

Yama Mama Posted November 25, 2008 Share #28 Posted November 25, 2008 Well, Celdawn I do not think that I am going out to shop, which is something I traditionally always did. To me it is not worth getting into the crowds and traffic. I believe because of the economic situation we are in, that all I have to do is wait and I will find just as good of deals next week. I think I will just sit back and think what a great Thanksgiving I had the day before. Oh I almost forgot, I may put up the Christmas tree.

BradT Posted November 26, 2008 Share #43 Posted November 26, 2008 I thought that was supposed to be any Friday 13th. This is a Canadian thing www.pd13.com . No one going shopping so the stores should be empty. Thought you all were suppose to go out and stimulate the economy. Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spear Posted November 27, 2008 Share #49 Posted November 27, 2008 Black Friday is the Friday after Thanksgiving and the Shops give out huge Discounts and special Offers. Some Folks like to camp out on the Front Door just to get these Specials. Well now - we don't have any of that crazy Thanksgiving stuff down here. We don't even worry about Halloween. I think Aussies are too laid back to be concerned with all that hype. But going by your definition - EVERYDAY is Black Friday down here. Specials and discounts are on ALL the time. And speaking of specials - we're in the middle of a petrol war. About a month ago we were paying up to $1.56 a litre for fuel. I filled up yesterday for $1.08 a litre. Some places in Sydney were down below the $1 mark. There's a lot to be said for the way the world economy is going - in some areas. I know a lot of people are hurting, especially top-side. Down here, we're doing okay. We're always learning from the USA's mistakes. That's nothing personal - just a well know fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
