“As much as we love Amazon and our Amazon Prime accounts, we still miss the instant gratification that comes from purchasing goods in a brick-and-mortar store and having them with you when you get home. Amazon.com Local Express Delivery ($6 and up, per item) aims to lessen this gap by offering same-day delivery for orders placed before a certain time in New York City, Philadelphia, Boston, Washington D.C., Baltimore, Las Vegas, and Seattle. Great news for procrastinators and the impatient, bad news for the ol’ charge card.”

Time to shop: “Black Friday” steals and deals

I guess it’s finally here. And depending on who you are: either the most dreaded shopping experience of the year, or for you brave and delirious souls waking up at 4am Friday, your favorite. I think you can tell, we’re not fond of the morning cage fighting experience we’ve witnessed in the past. The tickle-me-elmo and easy bake oven can just as easily be purchased on-line. That’s not to say there aren’t some great deals out there! But nearly all of them are just a click away. We’ve got a HUGE list – get your plastic ready.

Black Friday was popularized and actually got it’s current meaning via the media back in the early 80’s. It traditionally marks the first time that retailers start making a profit for the year. In accounting terms, being “in the black” refers to making money – as opposed to being in the red, which means losing money.
