An explanation for the event/phenomena known as BLACK FRIDAY..
'The idea behind the term is that Black Friday is a day in which retail stores have enough sales to put them "in the black" - an accounting expression alluding to the practice of recording losses in red and profits in black.' - Investopedia
So by now I'm sure everyone knows of Black Friday and what kind of deals can be had if you're willing to get up before that crack of dawn. Most stores will be opened by 5am, Apple will be opened at 12:01am. (They just gotta be different.)
Below is a list of some websites of deals to get some stuff after you get stuffed.
