A couple more days before Black Friday, the most awaited day of the year for most if not all shoppers here in the United States. Black Friday is the Friday after Thanksgiving (fourth Thursday of November) which is also the beginning of the traditional Christmas shopping season. For those who are not familiar with what Black Friday is, its the one day of the year where retailers like Best Buy, Walmart, Sears, Target, Macy’s, etc. offer doorbuster deals (very low-priced items designed to draw people into a sale). Because of the limited number and insanely low prices of these products, shoppers camp out a day or two outside these stores just so they can be the first persons to enter once the store opens their doors. Some large retailers even open their stores as early as midnight to accommodate these shoppers, while some open up at 5 AM.

Personally, I haven’t gone shopping on a Black Friday mainly because I don’t want to camp out in front of the store a day or several hours before the store opens up. There’s also the danger of getting hurt in a stampede as there’s been several cases before where people died because of a stampede happening in front of the store entrance during Black Friday.

This year though, I’m tempted to go and join in the fray after I saw a very good deal on external hard drives on two stores – Walmart and Target. I’ve been planning on getting a bigger external hard drive because the one I have now (320GB) is almost full.

Walmart: Western Digital 1TB 3.5″ External Hard Drive – $78.00

Target: Western Digital Elements 1TB Desktop Hard Drive – $59.98

There are tons of deals for different types of products in different stores. Just do a Google search of “black friday deals” and you’ll get several websites that provide detailed information on different Black Friday Deals for each retailer/store.

Each store has their own rules and regulations especially for doorbusters and also different store hours so make sure you check them out first before you decide to go out and go shopping on Black Friday. One tip I can give you, is to check out the store a day or two before the sale so you know where the items you want are located. Btw, if you do decide to go shopping on Black Friday keep safe and have fun!
