Black and Blue Friday as U.S. crowds duke it out for stuff

There are many reasons why most people view the U.S Big Box Invention called Black Friday with skepticism. Sure, there are bargains but there are always bargains. And local retailers don’t like it because they can’t compete in the price slashing. There wasn’t much Black Friday excitement on Bayview Ave. or Mt. Pleasant Rd. today. That frenzy was reserved pretty much for the huge malls — Toronto Eaton Centre, Yorkdale and the rest. Then there was the fisticuffs (or maybe brawling is the word) in some U.S. malls. Canadian Tire had sales on everything from Christmas trees to pots and pans. Did you go crazy? Write to tell us what you got and for how much.
