In the US, one of my family’s favorite activities during Thanksgiving is shopping. I was told that most (if not all) stores go on sale and people arrive in malls in droves to avail of the huge discounts. I think they have something similar to that here in Australia called Boxing Day which happens in December.

One can imagine how it’s like to shop during crazy-day sale like this, but what if there is an alternative to shopping during “Black Friday” or day after Thanksgiving Day? Wouldn’t it be nice to avail of the huge discounts without joining the rush and the long queues? One can zero-in to the store and get the products they really want to purchase instead of spending a lot of time checking items from store to store. The answer to that is black-friday.net.

This online website lists the participating stores like Target, Toys R Us, Macy’s, Babies R Us, Costco and a lot more. There are direct links to these stores where you can see and choose the products you want to purchase. They send newsletters about the sales that are sent way ahead of Black Friday compared to the usual Thanksgiving Day newspaper ads. When you select the store, like Babies R Us, the items listed show the discount percentage or the actual price.

The site is a big help if you’d like to maximize the discounted shopping opportunity.
