theprof00 said: People have been waiting all year for today. It's too bad he missed out on the deal, but check out day after christmas sales.
Last year, day after christmas became the second biggest shopping day of the year and was touted as Black Friday part 2. So, give it a few weeks. There will be some more great sales soon enough. |
Black Friday is not the biggest Shopping Day in the United States (and elsewhere) its just a urban legend which is becoming more and more true. Last decade black friday was smaller then this decade.

"The news media frequently refers to Black Friday as the busiest retail shopping day of the year, but this is not always accurate. While it has been one of the busiest days in terms of customer traffic,[3][4] in terms of actual sales volume, from 1993 through 2001 Black Friday was usually the fifth to tenth busiest day.[5] In 2002 and 2004, however, Black Friday ranked second place,[6] and in 2003 and 2005, Black Friday actually did reach first place.[6] The busiest retail shopping day of the year in the United States (in terms of both sales and customer traffic) usually has been the Saturday before Christmas.[7] "
