The topic of my article is about Black Friday and the record breaking sales. “Shoppers weigh-in on Black Friday craze” is the title of my article. My article is from KLTV or here. Black Friday is the day after thanksgiving where most all the stores over the U.S drops their prices and is open all night. There are usually many people out on Black Friday spending money, but this year the records were broke. There was a 3% increase of buys compared to last years record. Also 60% of holiday shoppers had a quick start on their shopping before the Thanksgiving holiday. Most every store also has the prices over the weekend, so it’s been said Black Friday is just the start. I think it’s pretty crazy for all the workers because of the hundreds of people and constant restocking the sales floor. Although Black Friday can get crazy I feel it’s great for the shoppers as well many of the people who usually can’t afford enough. Now everyone has a chance to go out and get great deals on things they need and gifts for others. This affects me because I go Black Friday shopping. When I see a great deal in the stores I definitely don’t hesitate to take up the offer. I enjoy giving people gifts for the holidays and Black Friday is the perfect time to buy. Even if some of the sales don’t go down as much we’re still getting something cheaper than what is was. I’m glad stores do this and give people the chance to receive great deals. This impacts the world because stores all over the country participate in Black Friday. This allows busy shoppers to knock out most of their christmas shopping for cheap. I know my family and friends go out on this day and find some of the best deals and unpassable offers. Even if some don’t go out and shop the opportunity will always be there throughout the years. Black Friday is a day to save and I know I’ll be out on Black Friday every year.
