The people I don't understand are the idiots that go shopping on "Black Friday" but like late morning or afternoon.

You either have to go balls to the wall and get there at 4am or don't bother. What is the point of showing up after all of the great deals are done, but you still have to put up with the millions of people?




Tip: Whichever store you want to go, find the one in the richest and smallest town around you. I've found that ones near cities/colleges seem to be the worst, and its not just size of population, its what % of that population is willing to get up at 4am.

It's not even the biggest sales day of the year, so that's false.

I don't think the two are mutually exclusive.

I've heard of people slightly raising prices and advertising it as a Black Friday sale.

Of course they are mutually exclusive. If a store has 50% of its sales on a single day, then obviously the remaining 50% has to be divided among 364 other days. There is no way it can account for 50% of sales if it is not the biggest shopping day of the year.

LOL, yeah, there's no way this could possibly be accurate.

I plan on doing the 4am thing this year. Some of the deals are just too good to pass up. I'm looking forward to the Best Buy BF flyer.
