Plan Now for Friday

Now is the time to plan your Friday shopping outing. Check out: bfads.net It's the official website with all the ads that will be happening later this week. Some places are open part of Thursday with specials as well.

The outlet mall in Aurora opens at midnight Thanksgiving night. You can bet the cars will be lined up along 88. It'll be crazy.

No, I won't be there. I doubt I'll go out at all Friday. I have in the past when the specials were too hard to pass up or I was with my sisters. Marney and I have gone early the past 2 Black Fridays.

The key is to plan ahead. Know exactly what specials you want to take advantage of. Get in, get it, get out. This is not a day to "shop" but a day to acquire.

Why do they call it Black Friday? It's traditionally the day retailers' books go from being in the red to being in the black. That's right - all those months and suddenly in one day they start to see a profit.

'til later
