I'm going to be honest with you: Black Friday freaks me out. A lot.
The absolute last thing I want to do after OD-ing on turkey is get up early and shove through hoards of coupon clippers (no offense to those who clip ’n’ save).
Also, most BF offers come from corporate retailers, and honestly, I'd rather a more personal (read: local) product.
If you have the urge to shop but not battle jam-packed malls fraught with strollers, stick fingers and endless lines, then I've got a treat for you.
