My favorite place to go for Black Friday deals is Best Buy. I have found the best deals I've ever gotten on electronics at Best Buy on a regular day, but on Black Friday I definitely found the best! I bought my first blender, television, computer, laptop, and our favorite games all on Black Friday! I tried Black Friday at a few other stores but the deals on electronics were much better at Best Buy. Even as our ecommerce shopping evolved into now having Cyber Monday as well, Best Buy still reigns supreme.
We're all winners on Black Friday.
Many years ago when my kids were still little and ecommerce hadn't evolved to where it is now, we decided to try the doorbuster deals at Best Buy. We really wanted to get a computer for the family room (so the kids would stay off of mine!) that the kids could play their games on or do homework. We all got up at 4 in the morning and drove out to Best Buy. The doors opened at 6 AM and we went in. It wasn't that crazy but it was definitely crowded. We ended up getting an amazing deal on our computer AND a brand new flat screen television! The next year, my husband and son went back to Best Buy on Black Friday and got great deals on laptops for all of us. I was forever sold on Black Friday at Best Buy at that moment!
Best Buy has announced their Black Friday deals, and I am so excited about the Chromecast Streaming Media Player! Now that a lot of commerce takes place online these days, you can order online as early as midnight on Thanksgiving day. Cyber Monday is my favorite for shopping as well. I love grabbing the deals online, it's like a sport almost at this point. I definitely choose online Black Friday over sitting out in the cold, waiting for the doors to open Black Friday! I absolutely love that it's easier than ever to get all of the deals thanks to ecommerce.
I have my eye on a few other store's Black Friday sales announcements as well. I am definitely looking to splurge on my granddaughter. I have been learning about all of the new fun stuff there is for babies(which is crazy)! For electronics though, Best Buy is always my go to! What's yours?
Do you have a Black Friday story? Tell me in the comments below!
I rarely do Black Friday shopping now, but I remember going out one year with my brother-in-law because we both wanted new TVs. By the time we waded through the crowd of Walmart when they opened the doors, there were only two left, stacked on top of one another. We pulled one down and a woman tried to swoop in and take the other one. So, I hopped up on top of the box and stared her down until she gave up. I proudly brought my new 27" TV home and replaced my old 13" one. That was my last time I ever braved the crowds. Now if I want to buy something that day I do it online.
ReplyDeleteI only went a few times but once they started doing Black Friday online, that was it! That's a great story!
DeleteI usually do my Black Friday shopping online. It's nice that so many of the retailers offer the sales online as well.
ReplyDeleteIt's so much easier!
DeleteI usually take a look at the Black Friday offers online. It's good to look for bargains.
ReplyDeleteI usually shop during the year. I still have a couple of gifts to make or buy but I skip the black Friday stuff.
ReplyDeleteI have never experience that but going to a Black Friday shopping sounds like a great time for us to buy things for our loved ones and for ourselves in a lesser amount.
ReplyDeleteI don't think I'll be doing any shopping on Black Friday, because I will be working x

BLACK Friday is something we are not used to doing in our country. But because of Internet and western culture, we are slowly adapting to it.
ReplyDeleteGreat that you have your eye on a few store Black Friday sales announcements. Awesome that you will splurge on you granddaughter.
ReplyDeleteWe don't usually have Black Friday here, but we have 11.11, 10.10 and 12.12 and so on. It's fun but you have to be careful in overspending.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds awesome! I always have to watch my spending, no matter what holiday!
DeleteWe have a small version of Black Friday here in Canada. Excited for it to come.
ReplyDeleteOh no, Of course, each year I have my own list of things to buy. We are really excited for this day.
ReplyDeleteI have never been to a proper black friday festival, but I have heard about it a lot.
ReplyDeleteIt's not really a festival, just a shopping day in America when stores lower lots of prices :)
