Black Friday...

 

I read that Black Friday is still the busiest foot traffic day in retail stores... even though so many businesses have been running their "Black Friday Sales" events for weeks.  Not having to go out and deal with those early morning crowds is another thing I am grateful for.  Years ago, when we were in Phoenix to visit with Steph and Dan, we'd go out with lists of things to buy for kids on the Angel Tree where they previously worked.  It was cold and there were crowds everywhere.  Nope, don't miss that.

I turned the TV on when I got up at 6:00 this morning - the local NBC affiliate had some of their news team live at various stores... stacks of big TVs at Best Buy and no one beating down the door to get at them.  They switched to another reporter at Bass Pro - tables of flannel shirts and two or three people looking at them.  No crowds grabbing at anything they can get their hands on.  Seems to be a different experience from what we've seen in the past.

I waited to see if the camera I'm interested in would be on sale... nope.  In fact, it isn't even in stock at any of the Best Buys in the Valley.
