Black Friday: Money to BURN

Posted by Carl Minor On November - 19 - 2009

FeatureBlackFriday

“It’s the most wonderful time; of the Year.”

That’s right.  It’s that time of the year again.  The encroaching moment when the retail industry can finally start using black ink for their financial reports instead of red ink.  Yes, you heard right,  Black Friday gets its name from the fact that most retailers operate at a loss (financial reports in red ink) all year until the “Seasons of Giving” arrive, and people “burn” that money, thus helping most stores make over 60% of their fiscal year profits in a single month.

As always, with this time of the year, companies make their black Friday ads and try to hide them until the Monday of the week of Thanksgiving.  Well thanks to the internet we can all get early access to all those wonderful ads and build a plan of attack, well before the grandmas who have been doing this for over half a century.  I am not gonna tell you which site to check for these ads.  You may already have your own favorite.  Below are some things I might be buying.  Thanks to www.bfads.net for the info (my source).
