I’m hosting recently two of my very good friends from Poland. Since the American currency 'dollar' went up, their trip became more expensive than they have planned. But still they can afford to buy some clothes of good brands, electrical equipments, perfumes and other stuff that is cheaper than in their country. How come? I really don’t know and if I even think of it, it does’t make a sense….
Anyway, the two very good friends of mine heard about the Black Friday which is a day after the Thanksgiving and in which the stores offer amazing discounts of a products. (history: Black Friday-the usage of that day dates from September 24, 1869, a Friday when stock manipulators Jay Gould and James Fisk tried to corner the gold market and caused its collapse. The adjective black has been appended to similar occasions ever since, including October 29, 1929, the Tuesday of the market collapse that marked the start of the Great Depression, and Black Monday of October 19, 1987, when the stock market experienced its greatest fall since the Great Depression).
My friends were very crazy to buy things that probably will have even 50% off the original price. I only convinced them not to go to the stores in the early morning or at night (3am) because I heard its pretty unpleasant thing to do. They got up in the morning (7am) and I joined them to the discount places.

It was a horrible experience. It was crowded like never before, general meyhem people were unpleasant and the things they wanted to purchase did not have as good prices as we thought. And it appeared that some of the laptops, cameras were only a little cheaper in their country than here. I even heard that at one of the Best Buy stores a salesman was killed by a wild crowd.
Never, ever go to the store at the Black Friday!!! The prices ‘smells’ bad and it’s not worth of your life.
