Black Friday

   Black Friday always happens after Thanksgiving in the United States. Black Friday is when stores give out discounts and deals for people to come in and buy items for a lower price.  Black friday was first used in the 1960’s by philadelphia newspaper referring to a huge rush of crowds to stores on the day after thanksgiving.  About an average 390.19 Us dollars are spent on black friday. 

  I personally love black friday because it's great for families that can’t afford the original price so that special day is very exciting and helpful.  As much as black friday is a fun day for people, there will always be aggressive shoppers that cause many fight over items and end up killing each other such as the incident  in Northeast Austin, Walmart where a shooting happened.  I hope stores keep police officers outside on black friday just to make sure nothing happens and protect everyone while they shop.
