I’m not sure it will even take a decade…

If saving $5 puts me in a bad mood the rest of the day, it’s not worth it!

Now I enjoy shopping in the middle of the night as much as the next person, but this is positively ridiculous. I predict that within a decade, “Black Friday” is going to start, if not at midnight, the day after Halloween.

A good point that Black Friday as a phenomenon is not consumer-generated but created by national chain retailers as a way to kick up sales. For years, I haven’t shopped on Black Friday (more a result of circumstances than a boycott). This year, I’m in the mood to shop. But I’m staying away from the big box stores and the ridiculous 4 a.m. lines and crowds.
