Black Friday in Laredo

Black Friday is an early sales event that takes place the day after Thanksgiving. Viva Laredo was on the scene outside Target, Walmart, and Best Buy to witness the crowds of people lined up early Friday morning outside big retailers stores hoping to get a extraordinary deal on toys, electronics and other products before the holiday season. Coupons for big ticket items are usually handed to the first ten people in line, which is why many start camping out the day before. Hundreds of Mexican shoppers and Laredoans waited for stores to open at 5am, then rushed inside to grab whatever they could. Sales will continue until Cyber Monday, but only a few early birds got deals we won’t find anywhere else. The good news is no injuries have been reported in Laredo, unlike the the poor Wal-Mart empolyee in Long Island that was trampled to death by 200 unruly shoppers, or the pregnant woman that was knocked down. The deals are great, but remember to be careful out there Laredo!
