Black Friday Store Hours In Western New York

We are just a few days away from another Black Friday. It's pretty crazy that we have to even say that. In the past, it was a HUGE deal. People would start making their plans weeks in advance. They would gather every single sale page and keep links with the best deals that would be available that day. Some would even camp out for days on end to save big money on a TV or be the first to buy a special game system for Christmas.

Does anyone do that anymore?

Black Friday hasn't been so intense lately

Lately, the excitement just isn't there like it used to be for Black Friday and there are a bunch of reasons why. First, it feels like people can always get incredible deals online. While they're not always crazy prices, a lot of people are happy to pay a little more just to avoid having to be around people. Plus, if a store doesn't have the item you want, you have to go to another store. It's less likely that it will be out of stock online.

The deals just aren't as great anymore. The point of Black Friday was for stores to clear out some inventory and finally get themselves 'in the black' when it came to their books before the end of the year so the deals used to be (or they felt like they were) insane. Now, it feels like you might save some money, but not a crazy amount.

Black Friday isn't the only retail shopping experience for the weekend after Thanksgiving. Now, people have the option of shopping locally for small business Saturday and also getting great deals online for Cyber Monday.
