The world seems to have adopted America's Black Friday sales, including South Africa!
This year I've noticed so many South African retailers slashing their prices for Black Friday - just a marketing gimmick but effective from all the photos I've seen with people queuing.
Here in the UK, Black Friday is also a big thing with retailers advertising great deals and goods been snatched up quickly. I too managed to get a great online deal :)
Here is some background of Black Friday:
Black Friday is the day following Thanksgiving Day in the United States (the fourth Thursday of November). Since at least the 1930s, it has been regarded as the beginning of the Christmas shopping season in the US, and most major retailers open very early (and more recently during overnight hours) and offer promotional sales.
