Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving, is the most famous shopping day in the United States. It kicks off the holiday shopping season, which is the busiest period for purchases in the whole year.
Black Friday has become only the first in a series of days offering consumers a chance to do some shopping at greatly discounted prices. It is followed by Small Business Saturday, Cyber Monday, and more recently, Travel Tuesday.
