Black Friday goes online

The day after thanksgiving, Black Friday, has always been known for in-store discounts and savings, however with the changing times Black Friday has also changed.

People would wake up at the crack of dawn to go stand in line for a killer deal on top selling products, which still holds true today… But there is a change in the wind.

Customers can still choose to get up early, with bloody knuckles to duke it out with each other over the new TV on sale or now they can shop in the comfort of their home.

This past Black Friday I woke up and purchased a new ipod from the comforts of my home. The in-store deals were also offered online and with one little click of a button I was the new owner of an ipod.

Although this little change in the wind has not caught on with all the aggressive customers that can be found in the store on Black Friday, it defiantly has sparked my interest and will become my new form of shopping for future Black Fridays.
