Will you be one of thousands of Black Friday Shoppers? Are you Going to snag the best deals?
Chances are you are not going to be one to get the best bargain! Its a sad reality that major companies play on peoples minds. Actually it makes me alittle angry!
Years ago I fell to the Black Friday Syndrome. You stalk the paperboy the day the sale ads come out. Waiting Waiting Waiting............ Yeah hes on time this morning! You greet him at the porch to get the hefty sized newspaper you've been longing for! A mad dash rush to the coffee pot pour your favorite special cup of java and to the kitchen table you go! Tossing aside the local news, classifieds and obit sections........ Buried deep in the middle............ YES the mother of all sale ads! BLACK FRIDAY DOOR BUSTERS!!! Target..... Kmart......Walmart......Best Buy......Sears........Toys R Us....... the list is endless!
Organizing the stack of ads according to your favorite stores....................... grab pen and paper making a list of everyone naughty or nice boy or girl on your Christmas shopping list..........Aunts .....Uncles...... kids........teacher gifts........grandparents........in laws you cant stand LOL they get the cheapest of all the door busters !
Does it sound familiar? You fill every spot something for everyone. Add up the total and thing WOW awesome we are gonna save a butt load for Christmas!
You call and arrange for your 3AM wake up call from local store. Mine has been typically Target lol. You set your alarm just in case you doing hear the phone ringing.
BUT HONESTLY WILL YOU BE THE ONE TO SNAG THE DEAL?
Chances are no! Stores use these deals Door Busters to get you in there. They know you are doomed to shop who don't shop at Christmas. They know its a fact of life .....paying taxes and buying Christmas presents are just facts of life everyone does it.
Be smart don't go into this thinking you are going to be the first in line for that Plasma TV or a washer / dryer pair marked down half the price for Black Friday. Stores limit the amount they sell at these crazy prices. "while supplies last" "no rain checks" "limited quantities"
The bottom line is what are the chances you are going to be the one to get something at super low price if theres only two in the whole store and theres 500 plus people standing in line at 4am!!!
For me personally I'm not playing these major retailers games anymore. I'm not feeding their need to trick me into the store with fake deals like this. We as customers have to play the game fair and so should they.
Whats your opinion???
