Stores run sales pretty much on a regular basis through out the year. All this hyper crap about black Friday.
Go to Walmart online they have a lot of stuff online they do not even stock in the store. The stuff can be shipped to the store for pickup or it can be shipped to your door on most items.
Home Depot and Lowes does the same thing on items. Other stores probably do the same. I think a lot of stuff is drop shipped to your door direct from the manufacturer and the online store gets credit for the sale.

'Black Friday' as it has been coined has been around for over 50 years in this country. Why would this be the last? The smart question should be will it be possible for American retail to being the Black Friday idea over to other countries. And if so how? The online sales on Black Friday were through the roof by the way. Maybe Cyber Monday is on it's way out. Black Friday ain't going anywhere. It's the start of the Christmas shopping season, it's the reason why Thanksgivin' is on the day that it is on. Thanksgivin will disappear before the holiday shopping season gets interfered with. Thanksgivin is nothing compared to the holiday shopping season in this country. No question about it. Facts are facts.
