Websites such as http://www.blackfriday2010.com/ offer sneak peeks at black Friday ads weeks before the big day. So what types of items are popular this year? Who has the best Black Friday deals? Should you bother to get out of bed to shop? Read on, get informed and you be the judge.
Before we talk about Black Friday deals, here is the history of Black Friday. The term “Black Friday” was used by the police in the 1960’s in Philadelphia to illustrate the heavy traffic on that day. The term also means the first day had sold through enough inventory and turned a profit for the year, putting them "in the black" according to the old by-hand accounting system of using black ink to indicate a profit and red ink to indicate a loss.
Now what are the best deals? According to Blackfriday2010.com, Target has Chefmate appliances for $3. Kohls have a $250 Kitchen maid mixer for $120. If technology is more your thing, then head over to Wal-Mart. They have the Ipod touch for $225 with a $50 ITunes gift card included and a 15.6 inch laptop for $198. If you are a jewelry lover, then visit Kohls for a 2 karat diamond bracelet costing only $99. But you will have to get up early for these deals. Kohls is opening at 3 am!
So are you ready for Black Friday? If these deals sound too good to be true, then fill up on turkey and get to bed early. Check out http://www.blackfriday2010.com for more ads and information.
