As somebody who loves to go out on Black Friday, I barely shop at all! It’s some of the best, most fascinating people watching there is.
Watching the retail staff unwrap a large palette of products is like watching feeding time at the lion's den - people swarm in a way that is just fascinating. I even once saw a kid (maybe around 7 or 8) reemerge from the crowd with a printer under each arm for his eagerly awaiting parents. It was truly surreal.
Yes. Many companies/sites online are advertising specials for Black Friday.
On Black Friday you should shop at the retailers where you think you will get the best deal on the merchandise you are interested in. There are many stores both in physical locations and online which will be having great sales on Black Friday.
You should shop at Sears on Black Friday, because they offer more than 1,000 doorbusters available until 1 p.m. Friday afternoon. They also announced that they will start their Black Friday sale at 8 p.m. EST on Thanksgiving Day.
Go early to the shop and run when you are in it.

Black Friday is the name given to the shopping day after Thanksgiving. It was originally called Black Friday because so many people went out to shop that it caused traffic accidents and sometimes even violence.
This is because Black Friday signifies the start of the shopping season. As Black Friday is after Thanksgiving, shoppers will be looking to shop for Christmas. Thus with the large amount of potential shoppers, retailers will offer great sales deals to attract these shoppers to shop at their stores.
Amazon started their Black Friday sale early, they are having a whole week of sales, not just on the Friday. They stock all sorts of electronics and games.
It is really up to your own personal preference. Myself, I love the craziness of Black Friday, as well as all of the deals you can get. There are a lot of crazy people out shopping, though, especially in the early morning hours. Sometimes fights break out and things get out of hand. If you want to avoid that or you can't handle large crowds then you should not shop on Black Friday.
The Monday after Thanksgiving is known as Cyber Monday. Cyber Monday is the e-commerce equivalent of Black Friday. While Black Friday promotions generally happen in brick and mortar retail stores, online merchants offer promotions on Cyber Monday.
Electronic stores such as Best Buy and Future Shop have specials and sales on Black Friday, both in their physical locations as well as on their online websites. Walmart, Target and department stores also have specials and deals on Black Friday.
No. That name has to do with accounting terms. If a shop is in the "red," it is in debt, but if it is in the "black," it is making profit. So that is the day that most major retailers start making profits during the fiscal year.
