Black Friday

The Media is rampant about Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving when many retailers get
most of their sales and traditionally sets off Christmas Shopping.

Just for the record I want to list the Herbig Rules for Retailing.
1) Never Ever go to a mall or big box store the Day after Thanksgiving or Christmas
2) Never Ever go to a mall or big box store between Thanksgiving and Christmas
and 3) If possible Never ever go to a mall or big box store between Christmas and Thanksgiving.

So now you have it and my love for shopping. I believe American consumers way over consume, go crazy over needless items they consider must-haves and do not know how to say NO to their children and end up buying anything and everything their child has ever expressed a question or desire for only to see it lying uselessly below the tree totally neglected by Christmas night. We need to cut back our spending and not be enticed by retailers that we must have it or if we donot we are doing an injustice to our family by not providing it or that if we do give it to our child, they will be ostracized at school for not being with it.

Stop shopping and start paying off those bills and saving. Be different for a change.
