Long Thanksgiving Break - Black Friday Sales
I’ve just gotten back from a long break for Thanksgiving, five days off from work. Of course, black friday doorbuster shopping is one of the traditions in my family. My mom and I do it every year. Where we live, there were no horrible tramplings like the wal-mart employee that died when customers broke down the doors and rushed the store. We had long lines, but it was courteous and friendly the whole way through. This year we hit the Belks doorbusters first, as they were giving away gift-cards to the first 250 customers that came to the store. My mom and I both got five dollars. Not alot, but last year they did the same thing and I ended up getting a $100 gift card, and bought most of my christmas presents for others with it. Its amazing how many thumbdrives and mp3 players you can get for that, and they make such great gifts.
Speaking of thumbdrives and memory cards and mp3 players, that’s what most of the stores that carried electronics seemed to be pushing this year. Cheap flash memory devices. Its a shame I got those for everyone last year, so I can’t give them as gifts again so soon. I got a ton of them for myself though. My cell phone, my laptop, everything I own that takes flash memory or sd cards got a new card, most of them for five or ten dollars. I dub this the year of cheap flash.
