That's a completely valid reason, I might add. The price-savviest consumers will be perched on a schedule and strategy that places product pricing above all else, retailer be forgotten.<br /><br />But, based on where the bulk of your holiday shopping may be, there are some who will prefer to be at one retailer first before all else. Most national retailers will open early this Friday -- many at 5am -- to let the hordes of patiently waiting consumers into stores to rid the shelves and back rooms of any bargain that is available.<br /><br />Yet others will show up at their favorite retailer to get the bargains from a preferred shopping partner rather than going where the absolute lowest-prices products can be found. Where will you be very early Friday morning, and what's at the top of your shopping list? Be careful out there and keep a level head this Friday -- don't let the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triptophan">triptophan</a> mess you up from the day before -- <em>ok</em>?<br /><br />Happy hunting, pecking, grabbing and swiping.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com/2006/11/22/black-friday-the-retailers/">Black Friday: the retailers</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com">BloggingStocks</a> on Wed, 22 Nov 2006 16:55:00 EST.
