Apologies for my hard shift into holiday-mode, but this episode is like a half hour emergency PSA. The sooner it’s out there, the better. My blood pressure climbs at the thought of Black Friday shopping. I can’t imagine getting up at 5am, then wrestling my way through crowds for a deal. It terrifies me. Could be because I’m short, or crowds make me anxious, or both. Yes, there are sales to be had and this year, more than most, we need to stretch our dollars, but I wanted to bring you some other ways to spend your time that Friday that might feed your soul instead of crush it. I’ll offer some ways to steal deals on those gifts you are determined to buy without the hassle of the crowds and while making the most of every penny.

I. Introduction
II. Origins of Black Friday
III. Black Friday TODAY
III. Black Friday Tragedies
IV.  Alternatives to Shopping on Black Friday
V. Ways to Stretch Holiday Dollars and Support Local Folks
VI. Conclusions
