Black Friday 2010 has come and gone. Hopefully everyone has survived and didn't end up broke. There were plenty of great deals out there this year and I hope everyone saved enough dough for Cyber Monday 2010!
I wanted to post a little history about Black Friday according to Wikipedia:
The day's name originated in Philadelphia, where it originally was used to describe the heavy and disruptive pedestrian and vehicle traffic which would occur on the day after Thanksgiving. Use of the term began by 1966 and began to see broader use outside Philadelphia around 1975. Later an alternative explanation began to be offered: that "Black Friday" indicates the period during which retailers are turning a profit, or "in the black."
