Christmas is over, so now is the best time to go shopping for things.
Stores are busy trying to clear things out of inventory, and people are busy returning gifts that they didn’t want or got the wrong size for, or whatever. Stores can’t sell it as new, so they get to move that stuff as “Open Box”.
If you don’t mind that someone else opened it first, you could pick up a pretty sweet deal this way.
Pawn shops are going to be great to hit once January rolls around. People, selling or pawning stuff because they shopped harder than they could handle, and then not being able to get their stuff out of hock… yeah. Great times for bargain shoppers.
Hell, I picked up one of those electric sander dealies for $8 yesterday at a pawn shop. Normally, these are what, $60?
I figured, why bother with Black Friday? It’s the weeks after Christmas that give me better deals with less trampling. :B
And now… go shopping!

Doing it the Canadian way, eh? Over here we don’t have such as Black Friday, and the big shopping thing is Boxing Day sales right after Christmas. I got some great deals myself. <3
I guess you could say that!
I just found the madness that is Black Friday was just pushing the envelope a little too much, even for me.
Hard to get excited when all that really happens is businesses push out their already low-end, low priced stuff, and cut its throat, knowing that when it sells out, the people who crowded the store and waited out in the cold will buy something else that makes the stores even more money, just so they don’t go home empty-handed.
