Will Black Friday Be Worth It?
I am a recent convert to the tradition of standing in line at insane pre-daylight hours on the day after Thanksgiving looking for “door-buster” sale prices. My family was always into it, but I was more interested in the extra sleep after turkey day.
Since my daughter has been born, I have been more interested in the Black Friday sales. Why? Well, toys and electronics tend to be the two shopping categories where you can find the honestly good deals on the day after Thanksgiving. I have stood in line at toy stores the last couple of years to buy items that already happened to b on my daughter’s wish list, so that I could snag the items at the best price of the season.
I’m already looking at the Black Friday ads that one can find all over the internet and trying to plan whether or not I will bother to get op at the crack of dawn on the day after Thanksgiving, and if so – which stores and in what order.
My daughter wants a Barbie styling head. I have been looking around and most of them retail for between $30 and $45, depending on the style. I found a Bratz styling head at Toys R Us that showed a $14.99 clearance price and even though the full price scanned, the manager honored the sign for me. A Bratz doll is not my first choice, since up until now I have been firm in not letting Gigi have Bratz – but, the price was right. However, it looks like if I want to get up early on Black Friday, I will be able to get a Barbie Island Princess styling head slash karaoke machine for $14.99. I might just have to make a switch.
And so, I leave you now. I need to get back to browsing Black Friday ads.
