Black Friday\u2019s history isn\u2019t about holiday shopping, but financial crisis. On September 24, 1869 the U.S gold market crashed. The most common story behind it is that after a year of operating at a loss \u201cin the red\u201d stores would earn a profit \u201cgo into the black\u201d the day after Thanksgiving, because people were willing to spend a lot of money on discounted items. This is the main story behind the term Black Friday. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This year shopping will probably be more online due to the pandemic, and that\u2019s where Cyber Monday comes in. Cyber Monday was specifically created to encourage people to shop online, it\u2019s helpful during the current situation, and a lot safer from the chaos of in person shopping. It started in 2005 and was created by Ellen Davis. Online shopping is more common now then in person, due to the discounts and easy accessibility, especially with COVID precautions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some of the best deals for Black Friday and Cyber Monday are; the Xbox Series X, iPhones, Play Station 5, Apple Watch series 6, iPads, Nintendo Switch, Ancestry kits, AirPods, iMacs, instant pots, TVs, laptops, cameras, vacuums, and much more. These are some predictions according to last year of some items that are discounted by a lot. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This year brings a lot of mystery as to how stores will handle the shopping, and how chaotic it\u2019ll be. How do you think Black Friday will be this year? Do you think it\u2019ll be mostly in person? Or mainly online? Or a mix of both? I hope everyone has a safe day if you do go in person shopping, and that you get some good deals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

K<\/strong>ierra\u00a0A<\/strong>rmstrong, “My mom goes online shopping, my dad never shops,\u00a0\u00a0and I go in person at like the outlets or something. I also think that if we distance and wear masks then we would be okay.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n E<\/strong>mma\u00a0N<\/strong>unamaker, \u201cI personally like to go in person just so I know that I got everything and have it , and that it comes in on time. I think we all should do what we did every other Black Friday shopping and just do what you choose. We should continue as normal and social distance in the store.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n By Chloe Parton November is the month known for not only good food, but also…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":350,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-330","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-features"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lenapetechtimes.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/330","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lenapetechtimes.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lenapetechtimes.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lenapetechtimes.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lenapetechtimes.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=330"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/lenapetechtimes.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/330\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lenapetechtimes.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lenapetechtimes.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=330"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lenapetechtimes.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=330"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lenapetechtimes.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=330"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
