With Thanksgiving coming around the corner, “Day After Thanksgiving Sales” are coming soon too. If you are not a regular Black Friday shopper you may feel lost and confused. This is the only day a year that traffic is the worst at 3:00 in the morning. If you drive through the town at midnight you will see tons of people lined up around the store.
Many people will camp out at night to get the best sales. But are all the stores worth it to leave your house in the middle of the night? The most popular stores in Tyler on Black Friday are, Best Buy, Wal-Mart, Target, and Kohl’s. The Broadway square mall will have people lining up at different stores but in my past experiences I have not found that great of deals at the mall in Tyler.
One of the biggest lines in Tyler is the line for Best Buy. Best Buy has every kind of electronics for a great price. If you are in the front of the line for Best Buy it can get pretty scary when the doors open at 5:00 Friday morning. They will have huge sales on iPads, and iPods.
They are selling all size HDTVs for lowest prices yet. Any Samsung laptop computer will be on sale for $150 off. Best Buy will be selling Blu-rays that were released this year for $12.99 and DVDs for less than four dollars. There will be huge sales on Play Station, Xbox, and Wii games.
Target’s parking lot is always over crowded pretty much all day on Black Friday. Target will have a pre-black Friday sale on Sunday, November 21st until Wednesday the 24th. Many sales that they will have are going to be pretty close to the sales that will be on Friday. There will be a huge selection f fun and popular toys for 50%.
The popular Tag books are on a lot of kids (and mom’s) Christmas lists, during these sales you can get one Tag book and get one free. Nintendo DS are on sale of $119. The new Donkey Kong Wii game will include a $10 Target gift card. You can shop for two people with one gift. The Acer netbook is normally $240 but will be on sale for $179.99, and includes a free Tuari Neoprene Sleeve, which is normally $12.99.
You can save up to $90 on Vizio Televisions. Paula Deen cookware set is usually $140, but you can save fifty dollars and buy it for the low price of $99.99. You can save on Christmas ornaments, candles, snacks and food for your Christmas dinner, not to mention all the dishes that it take to cook and serve the perfect meal.
The lines are the worst at Target. The store gets so unorganized. Black Friday seems to be the day that people get the maddest about people cutting in line and people cut in line the most. A hint to all the quick shoppers out there; have someone stand in line the moment you get there and do your shopping fast, that way you don’t have to sit there for a few hours with your hands full of stuff.
We are lucky that Tyler has three Wal-Mart stores and Lindale has one. How the Black Friday sales work at Wal-Mart is not like the other stores. They have separate lines within the store for the popular items and open the items early in the morning.
So at Wal-Mart you don’t have to stand out in the cold for hours at a time. Wal-Mart has movies for the lowest prices around even less than two dollars for movies such as “27 Dresses”, “17 again”, “Bourne Identity”, “Bourne Supremacy”, and “Bourne Ultimatum”. Wal-Mart sells Blu-Rays for only $10 and even some for $5. The Apple iPod Touch will be a big hit.
The selling price will be $225 but it will come with a $50 gift card. The portable DVD players will be on sale for less than $50. Televisions of all size will be on sale anywhere in between $98-$998.
