Speaking of Black Friday the Chip and Cern Show are offering
FREE SHIPPING for any orders in the
Chip and Cern Show
Store.
Chip and Cern both take the day off to battle crowds and score
some slick deals. It is called Black Friday because that is the day
when companies would traditionally start to bring their books in to
the black or break even.
When Chip and Cern started Black Friday shopping they would
show up fully drunk and freeze their asses off inline at Target to
get a tv.
Black Fridays USED to start off at 4am on Friday, but over the
years that time has been pushed earlier and earlier. So now they
are starting to open their doors on Thanksgiving evening. People
really took exception to this saying these companies were taking
away from the family aspect of the holiday. People don’t remember
that the employees of these companies have to get to the store mid
day on Thanksgiving to prep the store.
REI has taken a stance against Black Friday and have closed
it’s doors in a protest of sorts.
Cyber Monday is an online only shopping day that you can
usually score some really good deals on electronics. Cern usually
will use Cyber Monday to clean up the stuff he wasn’t able to get
on Black Friday.
When Chip and Cern started Black Friday shopping a 40” plasma
tv was $8000. Chip and Cern had to use Black Friday to get their
big screen tv.
Cern once ran blocker for Chip to score a big screen tv. They
were running through Target and Cern was sweeping on the outside
blocking others to the TVs. After Chip threw the TV in the cart,
they were on to the next item on the list.
Tip #1
Decide what you want MOST and what you want to lose out on
least.
Tip #2
Map out your purchases at stores. Stores are staggering open
times, so chose wisely. You can get a ton done at Target in the
hours before Costco opens, so plan smart!
Cern is eyeballing an Xbox One for himself this Black
Friday. He also does get some clothes at Khols sometimes because
they have some good deals. He stays away form the POS fireplaces,
and other cheaply made things.
Chip used to work at Circuit City in the TV department, but
doesn’t have the latest and greatest TV out there. He
Cern loves the Black Friday FM app which has all the Black
Friday ads. He makes a war room at it.
Target has a 4K 50” TV for $250 bucks. That is a hell of a
deal.
When you are looking for a ManCave, office or garage TV go
with the cheap deal. Don’t compromise quality for your core living
room TV.
Some products like Apple, Playstation, Xbox have a floor price
that they cannot be sold less than that amount.

Friday in 2016.

Cern tried to snag the Nintendo NES Classic at Target, but it
sold out in minutes. He also ate a poinsettia plant when he was a
toddler and had to get his stomach pumped.
A lot of companies are trying to spread out the Black Friday
boom to longer than just won day, so keep the eyes peeled for multi
