The day after Thanksgiving
This day is called Black Friday and one of the biggest shopping days of the year. It’s the day which you can get good deals at several stores. On Black Friday retail prices heavily decrease for 24 hours in an attempt to get people to splash the cash in the run-up to Christmas.
But do you know where the term originated, or when Black Friday first became a thing?
It was originally called Black Friday because the volume of shoppers created traffic accidents and sometimes even violence. Police coined the phrase to describe the mayhem surrounding the congestion of pedestrian and auto traffic in downtown shopping areas.
It’s common to see people waiting in line for hours before opening the stores, sometimes it gets crazy and shoppers act insanely toward others.
So the weekend following Thanksgiving has marked the start of the holiday shopping rush for Americans since the 19th century. People look forward for this day in order to save money and purchase a lot of good stuffs.
Then if you want to get the best deals the advice is ”be an early bird” and wake up earlier to have luck in this Black Friday 2019. Happy Black Friday and be safe!
