SELF-GIFTING ON BLACK FRIDAY

Posted on | November 20, 2009 | No Comments

A new Consumer Reports poll has exposed the secret, selfish underbelly of electronics shopping on Black Friday weekend: It isn’t all about buying for friends and family. A lot of consumers plan to buy gear for themselves. Some 70 percent of those who planned to shop on Black Friday weekend said they would be looking for electronics. While 78 percent of those gear buyers will be gift shopping, 55 percent will be shopping for themselves.

(From Justin) When you’re shopping on Black Friday weekend, are you looking for deals for yourself, too, or sticking strictly with gifts for others?
