Black Friday

What's Black Friday and why does everything negative has to be black.....sorry Nat X moment. Black Friday is the morning after Thanksgiving here in the US where retailers slash prices in hopes to lure shoppers into their stores. Black Friday is in retail circles the day where the overall profit/loss margin goes from RED (Loss) to Black (Profit)

In recent years there has been a 'war' of sorts between the leakers of information on sales and the retailers who want to keep this information close to the vest until the Tanksgiving edition of the local newspaper. Once again the net wins again as more and more sites dedicated to distributing this vital guide to the people.

PC Magazine has taken notice of the trend and published their list of the 10 Best Black Friday Sites. I will take a journey to each and find one deal of interest to me (gadget freak)

One of the fastest growing segments is portable GPS with Mio with another bomb on the industry. For the directionally challenged I have included the latest Black Friday GPS Deals

Even
Apple is getting into the groove offering discounts and specials at their retail locations.

Just a little information for your Friday morning hunting.

Is "Black Fridayt" really a negative when you go from deficit to profit in a 24 hour period?
