I read this on some news site.... this year the time between Thanksgiving and Christmas is just 3 weeks (vs 4 or 5). So all retailers have less time to get in on the Christmas rush. Hence they're really do an early push for sales this year.

However, I've been very UNDERWHELMED by QVC's Black Friday discounts... only $5 off? $10 off? Meh...

In yrs past, it used to be an event to go out to the stores on Balck Friday to shop . Went with a group of friends ... and I can say that I did survive the shopping frenzy .

Now a days , it's Black Friday all the time but you reallly have to look to find the savings along with free shipping ! Good Luck to all in shopping for values

DH bought my Apple Mac air laptop back in Sept to avoid mark ups and even if they have a Black Friday come on for my gold color they will get in

2 and 1,000 people will be lined up at the door or camping out night before

We ain't doing that 'stuff'. Mine was 899. Last time I checked it was 999 and I'm not for sure if that included the 'gold' color. They will mark up what the market will bear. If you mess around till Dec you'll be paying more.
