This is where consumers go to record their consumption experiences and discuss the effects of how consumers are influenced by their environment in ways such as their culture, family, and media. This is an ongoing testimony of why we, as consumers, do the[sometimes crazy] things we do.

Black Friday!!!
This is my second year participating in black Friday. I ask myself why do I do this? Why do I decide to wake up early and compete with hundreds of other grumpy shoppers? This year was interesting because I decided to shop Walmart's midnight sale. They had several things on sale, from video games, toys, dvd's blue rays, and etc...I already have an addiction of buying Walmart's five dollar dvds, so when I heard Walmart was having a $1.96 dvd sale I had to go! I was amazed to see the number of people that were there at midnight. It was like vultures hovering around a dead animal. When midnight finally struck, we were allowed to start looking through the dvds and make our choices. I swear the lady next to me dropped like five dvds on the floor because she was in such a hurry. I was able to pick out ten movies that I wanted and was very happy with my choices. I picked up the Lord of The Rings Trilogy, The Bourne Trilogy, I Am Legend, i Robot, Fools Gold, and Casino Royale. I honestly probably would have bought more, but crowds make me uncomfortable especially when people are being pushy. This year I decided not to go to the 5am sale because I did not see anything I was interested in buying. My brother is a manager in electronics so I was able to get details from him on how it went. He said people were lined up well before midnight for the deals on TVs, laptops and the other major deals. He said these customers were definitely dedicated to get what they wanted, and waiting was not an issue for them. I just find black Friday interesting, so many people go crazy and do things they normally wouldn't do, just to save some money. But in the end it has to be worth it, we continue to do it year after year.
