Happy Thanksgiving, y’all! It’s time for our favorite civilian “96” of the year: Getting the family together, conceiving monster food babies and, of course, heading out into the November chill on Friday for some seriously good shopping, just in time for Christmas.
I’ve noticed recently that Black Friday seems to polarize opinion like no other day of the year. I mean, it makes sense. On the one hand, its poor reputation is unsurprising; fully grown men and women should obviously never use a good deal on new television as an excuse to act like warring toddlers, nor should it be “okay” for stores to open their doors on Thanksgiving. But then again, it’s the perfect day to get better prices on the things that you could never quite find the extra pennies for.
Of course, if you belong to the former camp, then it’s simple to boycott the craziness and stay at home; more leftovers for you, right?! But, if you’re planning on heading out to the biggest consumer battlefield of the year, remember to arm thyself with comfy shoes, a leftover turkey sandwich (or two), and this fool-proof list of the best deals of 2015.
