Does Black Friday Offer Real Bargains?
A recent UK report says Black Friday (adopted in the UK) only offers real savings on a fraction of it's products. Prices can vary throughout the year quite considerably on the price, (especially as they have mini sales days) of a product during it's shelf lifetime. Look at Amazon prices, they can vary quite a lot.
What we are looking at here is Doorbusters. A limited run on certain products with limited supplies advertised to get people through the door. I used to work in retail and we did this in our store. One year it was amongst others, a specific washing machine. We were sold out by 10 am. Then you got the odd few customers coming in at 2pm getting angry that no more are available. Even when you point out that it says only 20 available in the Ad. They still get upset and argue with you, lol. I hated working in retail sometimes.
So, what's your experience, ever queued up outside a store in the hope of snagging a bargain price on something. What were some of your best buys?

Raising a child is akin to knowing you're getting fired in 18 years and having to train your replacement without actively sabotaging them.
