I'm sure you do know why it is called "Black" Friday -- because for most businesses, this is the first day of the calendar year which they are "in the black," an accounting term. All the money they have made thus far is allocated to income tax, real estate tax, wages, and other costs and expenses. So they are 'in the red" up to this point.
I haven't needed to do Christmas shopping in several years now, so I don't have anything to shop for at all. I did go just up the road, Dunkin Donuts always has their one pound bags of coffee on a good sale deal on this day, and Walgreens (across from DD, for me) had a 25% off regular priced items, I needed stuff for Dad at the nursing home. That coupon saved me a bit over $12!!! All stuff I was going to have to buy anyway. I was out and back in 20 minutes, didn't even reach the first traffic light.
I took the pups to Bridgham Farm for their walkies, they had a blast!
