BEWARE BLACK FRIDAY HYSTERIA<br />

WHAT IS<br />

BLACK FRIDAY?<br />

Black Friday is an annual shopping event that originated<br />

in the United States. Traditionally it takes place the day<br />

after the American Thanksgiving holiday (which is the<br />

fourth Thursday in November).<br />

Black Friday marks the unofficial start of the what can be called the<br />

‘holiday shopping season’. It is famous because in the USA, retailers<br />

offer amazing discounts and fabulous low cost promotions, slashing<br />

prices on various in demand products.<br />

These days, many local retailers start offering early access to Black<br />

Friday “specials” or even run a Black Friday month long event with daily<br />

specials offering discounts. And Black Friday is often followed by some<br />

sort of Cyber Monday, with lots of specials on tech and IT gadgets.<br />

Black Friday sales can be quite substantial, and it’s not uncommon for<br />

people to wait in long lines overnight or go shopping at the crack of<br />

dawn to get the best deals. We have all seen those videos of people<br />

storming into stores and knocking over old grannies to grab sales<br />

items.
