Technological Advances
After scoping out stores specializing in retail, electronics and everything in between I have come to the conclusion that the stores with the biggest crowds on Black Friday are those that sell products of technology. Not only were Best Buy, Radio Shack and Circuit City filled with swarms of people but the electronics section of Target was also the spot with the most traffic.
My take on the situation is purchasing these types of items is where you can save the most money. In addition to the fact that this is a time when a lot of new gadets are introduced and marketed to the consumer, therefore enticing them to buy, buy, buy.
