With Christmas right around the corner, many of us are excited for or loathing (that's me) that Black Friday will be busy. I have a sneaky suspicion that it's going to be worse this year... Why? THEY ARE ALREADY ADVERTISING! The department stores have already sent out their Black Friday deals in circulars and on television.

To make matters more busy, people are sharing the circulars on Facebook! I always somehow end up chasing my girlfriend around to every store in the Southern Tier for the next big CrAzY DeAL!! All while dealing with nasty spirited shoppers, isles so packed you can't get to the bathrooms and cashiers still drunk from partying an hour before they had to be to work (This is no lie). All rants aside, the deals usually are great. I've got a 55 inch flat screen at my house I paid $500 for 2 years ago. I waited in line for 3 hours, so I feel like I paid much much more. The monitor/29" TV I am using to type this blog I paid $200 for so the door busters are undeniable. I just would rather avoid the whole thing.

See you out there!
