Black Friday and Cyber Monday
By: Andy

Every Friday after Thanksgiving, shoppers flock to stores around the country to take advantage of the big sales of Black Friday.  Black Friday is a special day when stores offer extremely low priced items so many customers will shop at their stores. Since there are big crowds at stores at Black Friday, people wait at the entrance of a store in the early morning so they can be the first one in the store when it opens. Some people are now using their smart phones to help them shop. You can now download apps on to your phone that can tell you how to navigate a complicated shopping mall or to help you see in which store an item is the cheapest.
Most stores are now offering online websites which you can buy items on. Since a growing amount of people are now buying online, there is now Cyber Monday which is the Monday after Thanksgiving. Cyber Monday is the same thing as Black Friday but you buy all the cheap items online. An example of a great Cyber Monday deal is the Lost Hero for 48% off at Barnes&Nobles. What did your mom, dad, or family members do on Black Friday or Cyber Monday?

I didn't shop on Black Friday or Cyber Monday but if my parents asked me want I want to buy on Black Friday I would have said to buy it online so you want get jammed. I would want something cheap and cool.

Well, me and my and dad stayed home for most of the time, but my mom went shopping and was gone for about one hour. I stayed home and played video games, watched TV, wandered around the house and take care of the dog that we got to babysit while my friend was at Lake Tahoe. At night, we went to Best Buy and bought my mom a Sony Camcorder. She was really happy. That's how my Black Friday was like.

Very interesting post Andy! My family doesn't shop on Black Friday nor Cyber Monday. But I did do somthing special on Black Friday, it was my little brother's birthday and we went up to San Francisco and met my Great Aunt. On Cyber Monday we prepared for Christmas, and my big brother's birthday on December 3rd.

I went shopping as well like any other Californian on Black Friday. We just went through the malls and looked at the clothes and other things. At the end we ended up buying a remote control helicopter from Frys.It was an early Christmas present for me and my brother

Nice Post Andy! I woke up at 11:00 a.m. in the morning on Black Friday. My day started at Macy's in West Gate Mall and we bought a green comforter set and a suit for my dad's buisness trip. It was crowded and had attractive price for luxrious items. Right after shopping, I went straight to Fresh Choice in Vallco Mall and ate lots of green vegetables such as, lettuce, peas and broccoli. When I came from Fresh Choice, one of the pillows from the comforter set was missing. So, then the next day we had to return it. After all, it was a busy day!

I didn't shop on Black Friday but if I could I would ask for a new PSP game. I like Cyber Monday because I don't have to wake up at 6:00 am and go shopping with my parents.

I went online shopping with my parents on Black Friday, but not on Cyber Monday. My dad stayed up late for the Apple discounts to come out. We bought an iPad for less than 200 dollars. My dad also bought a Mac Book Pro for me and my brother. We also bought a new camera on Amazon which had a only one hour deal. Since Amazon would give free shipping when we buy more than an amount of money, we also bought some cereal only sold on Amazon. As I said, I didn't go shopping on Cyber Monday, but I wished I did because of all the things I could buy.

I didn't go to Black Friday, but my mom sure did! She woke up at 5:00! She went to Macy's and other stores. She came back at like twelve with TONS of shopping bags. She said she saw two people carrying blankets around in the mall. My mom thinks they camped out in front of the mall. Some people are just CRAZY about Black Friday!

Well, I didn't do anything on Black Friday, but my mom went shopping. I got a helmet, a jacket, and a few clothes. My mom got two sweaters and some clothes. On Cyber Monday, though, we shopped on amazon.com and ordered the new video game New Super Mario Bros. for my Wii console. All in all, it was a great shopping weekend. But don't you think that we should have Cyber Saturday so more people can shop online?

On Black Friday I went to a mall with my cousins and bought a lot of clothes. My cousins bought me a PS3 game called NCAA 11 they also got that same game. My cousin got his second PS3 controller and my dad bought him a NHL 11 game too. That is how I spent my Black Friday.

On Cyber Monday, we ordered a Wii Remote Plus. I got some lighting for my room on Black Friday, and my dad got a lens for his camera.
