Black Friday has become an anachronism in the age of e-commerce. The day after Thanksgiving officially kicks off the holiday shopping season, but retailers have already spent weeks flooding their websites and customers’ mailboxes with early Black Friday deals.

If the advertisers of history are to be believed, and they are to be believed, the best deals still await from Black Friday to Cyber Monday, the four-day period known in the retail world as BFCM. This can be especially true for expensive items, seasonal items, and the latest fashion products.
However, consumer advocates point out that deep discounts are not a once-a-year opportunity. They advise shoppers to comparison shop, research price history and read the fine print to make sure they’re buying what they really want at a good price.
However, some people like to get away from their computer or phone screen to experience the festive atmosphere and music at their local mall or shopping district. Retailers promise in-store experiences and exclusives to get them through the door. A number of stores that were closed on Thanksgiving are reopening early Friday as retailers work to ramp up the holiday shopping season.
