Shop Black Friday and Cyber Monday Deals
Though the term “Black Friday” originally had a negative connotation — the Philadelphia Police Department coined it to describe the terrible traffic jams and chaos on the sidewalks occurring the day after Thanksgiving — it’s evolved into something quite positive.
In fact, it’s become some people’s favorite unofficial holiday. This is because massive deals can be found on everything from holiday decorations to apparel, electronics and home decor.
To find the best bargains, subscribe to your favorite retailer’s email lists prior to the event or scour the paper for Black Friday ads so you can plan your shopping strategy. You’d be surprised at the deals you can find.
For those who don’t want to battle the crowds at the mall, Cyber Monday is the online shopping equivalent. It’s become increasingly popular since its inception, as consumers can shop from the privacy and comfort of their own homes. According to data from Adobe, 2017 saw a record $6.59 billion spent by consumers on Cyber Monday. This year, consumers are expected to spend $7.25 billion, according to the site Best Black Friday.
