Black Friday VS Boxing Day

Black Friday is the day following Thanksgiving Day in the US, which similarly to Boxing Day sales in the UK, when most major retailers open very early and offer promotional sales to kick off the Christmas holiday shopping season. Even though Black Friday meant little in the UK until 2010, as many of the American traditions, Brits have also adopted Black Friday as their own festivity and tomorrow, 28th November 2014, it's Black Friday. Now, not only there sales AFTER Christmas but also BEFORE.

Shops at Cabot Circus will offer discounts and exclusive offers to start with the Christmas shopping season. Discounts in fashion retailers, gift shops, electrical stores as well as in coffee shops y restaurants. Other big chains such as ASDA, John Lewis, Boots and Argos will also offer a wave of deals tomorrow. Sainsbury's will also launch offers and discounts for the first time and Tesco will compete offering 70% discount on more than 200 electrical and entertainment products. Even the big Apple will offer special prices!

I personally don't like "crazy-shopping" days. I don't crowds and I don't like buying things in a rush. But I know people do like shopping. Hopefully this year, it won't happen anything similar to last year in ASDA, where customers fought out for discounted goods (flat screet TV) and a man was arrested after arguing with supermarket staff. Please, buy thoroughtfully!
