Black Friday

I hit Sears about 7 am for a camera for my daughter,it was a madhouse but somehow I managed to be out of there within 10 minutes with the camera

A little fun "fact" I just heard yesterday was that it is called black friday because this is the first day of the year that retail companies are operating "in the black" as opposed to "in the red" .Anyone else heard that before?

This isn't true for most retails. Though Black Friday boosts their overall annual profits most public retails operate in the black when you look at their quarterly reports.

LOL! That's funny! Well, I did go out on Black Friday, but not because I wanted to. I needed to purchase a new fridge and oven for the house I'm moving into, and Sears had some great deals that day. Actually, when I was in there, they were having some awesome deals on LCD and Plasma TVs, but alas I didn't get one. Kind of kicking myself over that, but I'm sure they will have some good deals closer to Christmas time.
