Black Friday Shopping Starts Early This Year...Did You Know??

The Friday after Thanksgiving commonly called black Friday will start early this year at 8pm Thursday evening Thanksgiving day!!!! All the TV stations, CNN too has ads stating shopping starts early this year at 8pm Thursday evening with Sears leading the way along with Kmart!!

 

You can imagine all the stores will follow suit as they are all open to making money and hiring more people to handle the shopping season through the end of this year!! I did speak to the manager at Walmart where I once worked and he said they too will start at 8pm on Thursday, but hourly, certain big dollar items will have a Posted sign stating when that item will go on sale!!! :yadayada: :happydance:

 

So to me that sounds like lines forming outside the doors of these stores until that item goes on sale!!! Should this be the case and holds true people will be standing in different lines until Friday morning at 5am when the sale usually starts anyway at many stores!!!

 

Sounds to me if you happen to be in the market to purchase a giant 70 to 80 inch flat screen TV you will find yourself shopping until you drop!!

 

Have fun everybody and happy Thanksgiving to you all!! :Argh: :rolleyes:

Asha, I never go myself for that reason and those long, long lines too plus getting up that time of night is not my style to go spending my money!!! I really don't think I'll ever need something that bad!!! My wife don't go ether!!!!

 

For many people they run from store to store, I just don't or can't see doing that myself!!!

I went shopping once on Black Friday -- in 1969. Never again!! Just too many crowds and I was much younger and far more agile than I am now!

 

I do all my Christmas shopping over the internet. This totally beats the crowds. A few years ago I wanted to pick up some stocking stuffers late. So I went to Target at 8am. Hardly anyone was there even though it was a few days before Christmas.

 

Do whatever you can to make the holidays easier. That's my motto. LOL

Its sad that they keep taking more and more from their employees to make money on their sales. I been one time to black Friday and I will never go again. I am no small lady and when I get knocked down you know it is no joke. I am usually a nice person just to get up I had to come up swinging. I was not there for me but there for a stranger in a wheel chair who wanted a gift for her grandchildren and for my sister in law. go figure my kindess was repaid lol.
