Black Friday Shopping Newbie
I have never been "Black Friday" shopping. I think I am a little scared. This is for the professional shopper. Go in with a plan. Time out the sales at each store. Bring friends to divide and conquer. It is a lot of work to get the best deals around. Luckily, Dan the Man has helped map out local specials.
A group of my friends are heading out Thursday evening to start the holiday shopping tradition. I am thinking about going along for the experience. I would be an apprentice as I am a newbie at this ritual. Do I have what it takes? Probably not. I don't really plan, I kind of wing things, and I really don't like waiting in line. But, with the promise of stopping for dessert after sounds inviting.
I have a few days to figure it out. I do know that I am shopping local. Not only is it important for our local economy but we really do have quite a variety the tri county area. Happy shopping!
