The link from skeptik didn't work but it could be my internet. My understanding was that it is Black Friday as it is normally the day retailers start
profiting having previously operated even or in the red, they turn the corner on the shopping day after Thanksgiving and make a profit through the end of year.
I can't wait, love going shopping on Black Friday..don't normally buy much but always go... |
