Wednesday Rant - Black Friday Deals?

So Black Friday is upon us and after you finish stuffing you face with turkey you can hope on down to the local mall and wait in line for mediocre deals. Yes sometimes the deals are great but you have to arrive at noon on Thanksgiving to get a good place in line. Most of the really good deals are only good at stores like Target, Best Buy and Walmart; places that are pretty much not known for selling amazing fashion pieces.  I know the mall stores have deals but are they really that great of a deal, sometimes you end up spending more money to get that great deal and half the items you buy are things you usually won't buy.  Do you really need 5 hoodies or anything you buy on Black Friday. Most stores are just adding an extra percent off their clearance, which is really stuff you didn't want before, but now that it's a dollar you think it's a good addition to your closet that is already over flowing with crap you don't wear.  You know who you are you closet has become an abyss of bargains and impulse buys, which end up being returned days before the 60 day return period is up. Why would you want to fill the hoarders lair that is your closet; even if you are getting a super deal you should really only buy the things that you need.  Don't just buy because you are getting a good deal.  You should scout out what you need and want days before Black Friday; then you should walk to your closet start clearing out the debacle that is your walk in closet.  Some stores have stepped up and started offering ligament great deals, for a limited time, and it's not just on crap you might not need.  The best time to look is days before, ask the people working they will tell you what they are offering because they want you to shop at their store and some store have started offering their deals days before. Online shopping is always a great option because there are no lines and you can start at midnight.  Basically, just make smart sound decisions and don't just buy for the sake of the deal.  Please no one buy the Nike Dunk Deloreans, because I want them all for myself or if you send me a size 11.  Happy hunting!!
