It’s the day hardcore shoppers have been waiting for: Black Friday.
Thousands upon thousands of people in the U.S. are looking for deals, and retailers are hoping to cash in, but it’s not just our friends south of the border that are getting great stuff for cheap.
Lots of Canadian retailers are jumping on the black friday bandwagon too.
There was a steady flow of shoppers Friday morning at Crossiron Mills to get some early deals.
Grandmother Susan told 660News, waking up early was no big deal.
“I’m usually up about 4 a.m.; I get a wild idea in my head, wake up, day starts,” she said. “But, with the grandchildren, you don’t know what to buy them, so you have to come to these sales, because you’re not going to spend a fortune on them.”
Many of the shoppers said they weren’t seeing the massive lines they thought they would.
It was a blessing for those who didn’t have to fight off crowds, but many predict Black Friday will be even more popular in Canada in coming years.
