Black Friday shopping~!!

Well...gonna explain why this friday is black first....

Black Friday is the Friday after Thanksgiving in the United States, where it is the beginning of the traditional Christmas shopping season. Because Thanksgiving falls on the fourth Thursday in November in the United States, Black Friday occurs between the 23rd and the 29th of November.

Black Friday is not an official holiday, but many employees have the day off, which increases the number of potential shoppers. Retailers often decorate for the Christmas season weeks beforehand. Many retailers open very early (typically 5 am or even earlier) and offer doorbuster deals and loss leaders to draw people to their stores. Although Black Friday, as the first shopping day after Thanksgiving, has served as the unofficial beginning of the Christmas season at least since the start of the modern Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in 1924, the term "Black Friday" has been traced back only to the 1960s.

The term "Black Friday" originated in Philadelphia in reference to the heavy traffic on that day.More recently, merchants and the media have used it instead to refer to the beginning of the period in which retailers are in the black (i.e., turning a profit).

The news media frequently refer 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,in terms of actual sales volume 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.

so well.. last year I stayed up the whole night and waiting outside the mall at 3am... well, we are not crazy still, a lot of people already camping outside the mall a day before. How cheap can things be until so many people willing to wait?

I think its better take last year as example since this year didnt have huge sales. A HP laptop which usual price was $799 has been sold $499, Wii was $100 less than usual price.. most of the electric stuffs were atleast 40% off.
Last year i got a 7.2 camera for $70 which usually is $150 (thats y i went so early for that, all the cameras gone within a minute after the mall opoened)

This year not that many discounts and I dont have car to the mall, so just took the bus at 5am and reached the mall around 6.30am... I didnt expect any exclusive great deal when I reached cuz I knew its was too late for anything and I dont have anything I dying to get.

Anyway, this is what i got for this year...I think it was good deal too, well...you have no idea how much 'homework' I did before thanksgiving. All the stuffs I got so far are really great deal and atleast 50% discount and up.

A High Hop Converse canvas for $13 (usual price = $50) saved $37

A V-neck long sleeves shirt $10 ($25) Saved $15

And 1 sport shoes $30 ($70) Saved $40

Kenneth Cole Reaction 3.2 Oz $30 ($64) saved $34

Old Navy Bootcut jeans $15 ($35) saved $20

and some stuffs at bath and body for my cousin and things for my friends~

All the things I got was about $100 dollars together... while this stuffs I can use for more than a year. I still have some clothes and stuffs from last year. I bought 2 shoes because my shoes now are totally in bad shape ><

anyway~ im glad what I got for this year!
