Judith Whitehead is back guest-blogging on this Inspirational Monday talking about that one day that comes but once a year, 'Black Friday!' Judith lives in Amherst N.Y. She has worked in the ophthalmology field of medicine for almost 30 years...
Another Black Friday has come and gone; thank goodness. The hype and craziness has slowed down. I am one that usually does not partake in such madness but this year a certain sale did catch my eye, a certain designers purse sale. I thought to myself, how bad could this be? I am an early riser anyways and I may want to give this a try. The store only opened at 10 am this time and not midnight the night before so I thought maybe the rest of the world would be going to those early sales and not this one…wrong. As I entered the parking lot , it was already full…not a good sign. As I entered the store I immediately proceeded to the purse department. All I could see was a line of crazed people snaking around the store and purses flying off the shelves going in every direction.In record time I decided that this madness was not worth the wait, too much shoving, grabbing and pushing. No purse was worth that much.
So I left, no purchase in hand and returned home to go to my favorite shopping spot, the Internet. There I quietly clicked on the same website these purses were sold and guess what?? Same bargain prices were offered on line. So I have to wait a few days for the mail delivery…so what, I got what I wanted and avoided the crowds. So, until next years’ Black Friday, shoppers relax and consider cyber shopping next year. It will save your sanity. |
