Black refers to ink color. Most retailers don't show a profit for the year until this day after Thanksgiving. It is also a time for great bargains.

Many of the sales that will be offered on Black Friday are leaked out by all sorts of web sites ahead of time. Lets use the forum attached to this article here to record them.

Nov 1, 2006 Update:

Remember, these are often "leaks and rumors" and not officially announced sale prices.

Black Friday means most retailers don't show a profit for the year until this day after Thanksgiving. They basically cover expenses until the Holiday season then on "Black Friday" they turn profitable (black ink rather than red ink...)

Your topic Good Deals, I took atvantage of the information on drugstore.com their shipping is free now with a $50.00 purchase. I did my shopping at home, got a few bucks off plus 05% off my next purchase and no sales tax. Delivery in a week. That is a good deal.

BigLB :
At his new site, Kirk has deleted all references to Suite 101 such as this one...

<i>...Suite101 is back up and in business again . Myself and many other former Suite101 posters are back there posting again...</i>

And yet he has the nerve to come over here personally and pander for pennies on this strictly self-serving thread.

On another thread he said he felt "uncomfortable"....what he should feel is ashamed.

iivkovic :
BigLB...everyone is welcome to post at Suite101...EVERYONE! The job of deciding who should and who shouldn't be here, who is welcome and who is not, rests with me.

Also, jessielivermore is correct, this comment is off topic in this particular thread. I won't be deleting this post, but going forward, please keep any and all Brinker related comments limited to the two already active threads.
Thank you,

Kirk, makes one wonder how the market place is going to be able to judge the state of the retail economy with muddied Black Friday sale figures.
