Beat the Black Friday Rush with Online Shopping (Guest Post)
The day after Thanksgiving, eager shoppers invade the stores in search of awesome deals on any and everything under the sun. It happens every year.
Some stores are open as early as midnight, and shoppers are scrambling for a place in line as soon as the last piece of pumpkin pie is gone.
But what is Black Friday? Why is it such a big deal?
In modern parlance, Black Friday is the day that retailers do a big push to make a lot of sales before the end of the year.
Accountants traditionally use red ink to show losses and black ink to show gains, or profits. So the term “Black Friday” refers to retailers being “in the black”-- having their ledgers full of black ink, showing a profit.
But the term didn’t always have positive financial connotations. The phrase “Black Friday” originated in 1864 and was used to describe the stock market panic and the rush to sell bad stocks, on Friday, September 24th of that year.
It wasn’t until the 1960s that the term was used to refer to customers rushing to buy products from retailers. It also wasn’t until the 1990s that Black Friday became a retail phenomenon. Prior to that, some stores might be open the day after Thanksgiving, but many retailers (and retail employees) had the day off.
As most people know, the stores are absolute madhouses on Black Friday, and they are no place for children. But, if you have kids, sometimes the only option is to bring them along.
If you’re lucky, find what you want, and get everyone (and everything) home in one piece.
Some people aren’t so lucky and the Black Friday news reports are filled with stories of people injured in the mad rush to get into the store, or parents who managed to get their purchases home, but left the kids behind.
But you don’t have to go out into the madness to take advantage of Black Friday deals. In fact, many online retailers offer Black Friday specials that you can take advantage of from the safety of home. Even brick-and-mortar stores, like Best Buy, offer online deals to help you get the savings you want, without all the insanity.
Coupon and discount sites, like NerdWallet, also provide coupons and codes for a variety of retailers.
Looking to upgrade your car stereo? You can find Sonic Electronix coupons and discount codes at the company site, or through one of the many discount aggregators.
Just order what you want online then, when it arrives, you can have it installed at your leisure.
Shopping online for Black Friday doesn’t just protect you, and your family, from crowds of rabid bargain hunters; it also saves you time and money.
You don’t need to pay a babysitter while you stand in line, or camp out all night, at the store gates.
You don’t need to spend money on gas, and time driving to the to the store, only to find that the item you want has sold out within the first fifteen minutes.
You get to spend more time with your family on Thanksgiving.
And you never, ever, have to worry about becoming that mom who left her kid at the store on the craziest, and most dangerous, shopping day of the year.
