About Black Friday
Beyond Thanksgiving, Black Friday has made November a staple of holiday events, and it’s only a few weeks away before the release of mass price cuts. Snagging a deal is practically a tradition, and with Black Friday falling on the 26th of November this year, we’ve brought you some essential facts and trivia to not just share with family around the dinner table, but to help you get prepared for crossing some items off your shopping list.
The term ‘Black Friday’ dates all the way back to the 19th century, but its history is long winded with a few ups and downs along the way. From dangerously large crowds in the 1950s, to the introduction of Cyber Monday with the rise of internet in the 2000s, the holiday has amassed a page in the US history book.
But that’s not all that we’re bringing to you - we also have some essential information to keep you and your money safe this fall. We explain buyer protection and return policies offered by the larger stores, and also offer some legitimate ‘buy now, pay later’ options that won’t amass you a sudden line of debt equal to a mortgage.
And for those who want to know just a tad more about the modern Black Friday, we’ve got some surveys and statistics for you to leaf through. As always - happy browsing!
