Black Friday Myths Debunked [VIDEO]

Halloween is over. Everyone is now focused on Thanksgiving. And we're only 24 days away from the day after Thanksgiving better known as "BLACK FRIDAY". People fighting, camped outside of stores for sometimes days, and of course the odd "stampede trampeling". People absolutely go "Deal Crazy". But is it all necessary? The website DealNews.com posted a list debunking some of the biggest Black Friday myths here are four of our favorites.

#1.) Myth: Black Friday is the busiest shopping day of the year. It's not. The Saturday before Christmas is always the busiest day. This year, that's December 24th. Only 35% of people actually go shopping on Black Friday.

#2.) Myth: You have to camp out in front of a store to get the best deals. Yeah, maybe to get a few of the most ridiculous deals you have to camp out. But every year, more and more stores offer their Black Friday sales online as well.

#3.) Myth: Black Friday is the best day to get a new TV. Most of the time, you're better off waiting until December . . . when brands unveil their new 2012 TV models and the old ones get a bigger discount.

#4.) Myth: If you're going to shop online, wait for Cyber Monday. Since most retailers are offering their best Black Friday deals online, waiting a few days until "Cyber Monday" will probably just leave you with the scraps.

#5.) Myth: Doorbusters are free. Whaaa? Believe it or not, many people believe that Black Friday is the day to score freebies. This myth may be what lures people to sleep outside a store overnight, but most doorbusters are just low-priced items meant to create frenzy. If you find a free HDTV on Black Friday, please send us a photo of it alongside your pet unicorn.

#6.) You have go to an Apple Store in person for its Black Friday sale. In reality, all of Apple's Black Friday sale prices will be available online with free shipping sitewide. However, in our Black Friday predictions piece, we actually advised against shopping the Apple sale, as most resellers — like Amazon, MacConnection, and MacMall — will offer discounts that will be twice as good. Plus, in some cases, they may also offer a sales tax advantage.

There you go I hope some of this helps. Now let's see some Black Friday madness!
