2009 has been one of the worst years on record for stores, no one has any money so they aren’t spending it on anything.

We have already had the Christmas in July sales now we are having the “early Black Friday sales“  which are being advertised as if they will be better than the real sales!

Amazon and Wal Mart have already been selling xbox 360 arcade consoles for $199.99 with a $100 gift card included. Sure they didn’t have many of them on offer but they did have some at least.

I have heard that so many people applied on Amazon it shut their system down for a while. Many people didn’t get in quick enough and that caused some PR problems I understand.

That is one of the problems with the Black Friday Sales, hundreds of people lining up for what may only be 6 laptops or TV’s. You can end up with a lot of very upset customers as you can imagine.

So maybe shopping early is a good solution, you don’t have to get up at some ungodly hour and wait with everyone else in the cold to get what you want.
