  Nov 26 is one of the world’s biggest shopping holidays of the year. Some people wait all year for this day to come around. Black Friday is the day with the best deals, sales and more.

   Stores prepare many days, weeks and months for this day. They want to have the best deals to lure in as many shoppers as they can. From clothing, to beauty, to accessories and shoes there are so many good deals to find. The challenge with Black Friday is not only finding amazing deals but getting these insane deals.

   Many people take this day very seriously. They wake up at the crack of dawn and wait in lines for the best sales and prices. This may seem crazy to some, but sometimes it is the only way to get some of the limited items available at stores.

   This year, there are so many outlets and shops to make your Black Friday the best one yet. These places may include: Cordova Mall, Destin Commons, Silver Sand Outlet and more. Don’t forget about Gulf Breeze’s local businesses too! Many of them will be participating in the Black Friday festivities and sales in addition to the other more popular places.

   Don’t want to wake up early or go out into public? No need to worry, shop online! Most of the same deals that are available in store are also available online. Of course, there are always shipping prices and waiting for delivery, but as long no one minds waiting then online shopping may be a more convenient way to shop for people and their families.

   Some fun facts about Black Friday are:

   1. Black Friday used to refer to stock market crashes in the 1800’s

   2. Black Friday didn’t become a national term until the 1990’s

   3.Black Friday became the biggest shopping day of the year in 2001
