What is Black Friday?
El Black Friday, or Black Friday, is the day that marks the official start of the Christmas shopping season. This day is usually the day after Thanksgiving. You'll find many retailers and wholesalers running sales to kick off the Christmas shopping season.
Their origins are in Philadelphia, where it was used to describe the heavy traffic of people and vehicles that packed all the streets of the city the day after Thanksgiving. It was in 1961 when the police began to use this term, becoming popular in 1966 and spreading throughout the US in 1975.
Later an alternative explanation would arise, and that is that the term "black" referred to the merchants' own accounts during this day, since they spent from red to black numbers thanks to increased purchases.
Finally, this shopping and sales fever would spread to other countries, arriving in Spain hand in hand with large chains that made significant discounts on their products and that finally also infected other smaller businesses.

If you want to be a bargain hunter during Black Friday 2022, you should keep some of these in mind tips for making the best purchases:
- Set a budget to invest. This will help you a lot to not spend more than you had thought, but it will also help you filter only those products that you can afford.
- Make a shopping list, everything you need or want to give away. This is also important so you can get down to business hunting without distractions. Keep in mind that the shopping spree on this day makes many of the products run out, so having things clear and determined can help you not run out of what you want.
- Monitor the special purchase conditions on this day, as they may not be the same as those offered by the store in question during the rest of the days. For example, see if there are any changes to financing, returns, or shipping cost/time.
