Black Friday Hype and My Trip to Best Buy

One thing I can say about Black Friday is this: IT'S ALL OVER-HYPED. I went to Best Buy at 10:30PM on Thanksgiving Day night and stood, yeah stood, in line til the doors opened at 5am. The only thing I wanted was the $280 laptop with a free printer...that's it. Did I get that, you wonder? Oh no....not a chance. Not hardly. I realized that all this Black Friday hype was just that....HYPE. There were no real deals at Best Buy, but don't tell that to the throngs of women scrambling to get the Sex and the City Season 2 DVD for $19.99 or the guys grabbing the $1000 tv that was $1100 the day before. That's not a deal. But the store got people hyped up and unfortunately I bought into it. I don't even know the last time I stayed up all night long, but one thing I do know is that I will never do it again for a so called deal. It was good to see people spending their hard-earned money, but not their future paychecks, i.e. credit cards, to get our economy back up and running full steam again. Thanks guys!
