要命的"黑色星期五" - 2007

世界日報╱聯合報綜合十一月二十三日電訊報導  2007.11.24 08:07 pm

一天兩百億 「黑色星期五」買氣勝

節日購物馬拉松23日正式登場即聲勢強勁，使得憂心忡忡的零售商和購物中心業者稍微鬆一口氣。

Master-Card Advisors零售分析師提出的第一個初步估計，預期「黑色星期五」的銷售將達兩百億元，略高於去年同一天的190億元，但是整體節日零售業績可能是五年來最糟。 追蹤信用卡、銷帳卡開支和現金及支票交易的MasterCard Advisors分析師麥納馬拉說，兩百億元占預期整體節日銷售的5%。但是一些分析師認為----

隨著數百萬天未亮就瞎拼(shopping)的民眾開始產生購物倦怠，購物的狂熱會逐漸退燒，危及周末銷售。 ...........

 

 

話說黑色星期五前兩天 -- 星期三晚上, 與好友網上討論黑色星期五血拼計畫, 但是今年實在讓人失望, 沒啥購買慾, 直到討論到Leesburg Premium Outlet Mall 才知道, 這mall午夜12點就開, 然後再看了一下商家折扣, 讓豬有點心動, 更何況聽說Coach有全面8折呢!!  不過, 三更半夜在外閒晃, 龍貓肯定說NO !!!  

 

黑色星期五前一天-- 星期四 感恩節

過去幾年, 豬窩都有感恩節party,  今年JJ的生日很靠近感恩節, 所以豬就藉著豬窩的感恩節party 幫JJ辦了個生日party. 所以從早開始準備, 從裝飾, 小禮物, 食物, 餐點, 外加打掃幾乎沒停過.  不過, 心裡總記著晚上血拼的想法,  有什麼時候會比午夜血拼好呢? 沒小孩在旁拉拉扯扯, 沒老公在旁"等"妳東看西看, 更何況有一整個夜晚隨妳逛, 再說商家折扣粉吸引人呢,  多完美啊!!  趁閒, 刺探了龍貓的態度, 哇!! 老公竟然恩准呢!!   於是晚上party快結束時, 和幾個媽媽商量了一下, 決定四個媽兩輛車 于11:30PM 出發, 車程20分鐘, 塞個10分鐘, 預計12:00AM到達, 開始"血拼大作戰"!

 

黑色星期五12:00AM - 2:00AM

開了半小時, 才發現, 午夜血拼的人真不少!  平日沒塞車只要開20分鐘就到了, 結果豬開了兩個半小時,  真是塞爆了, 塞到豬還有時間拿像機拍照呢!!

就是這兒啦! Leesburg Corner Premium Outlets Mall

 

哇哩咧! 豬從沒看過這mall有這麼多車, 不知道豬會不會沒停車位呢!!

20分鐘後, 還在原地!

在塞了1個小時後, 豬竟然趕了乘客下車, 有沒看過這樣的惡劣司機呢?

其實豬是為朋友好, 塞了一小時, 另一台車的好友已抄小路到Ann Taylor,  可憐豬對路不熟, 更何況豬塞的地方已經可以看到Ann Taylor的背面, 頂多走個10分鐘就到了.  再者粉多乘客也從其他車下車步行, 所以豬就這樣把好友趕下車了!!!  不過, 也因為這樣 好友多了1個半小時血拼喔!

 

黑色星期五2:00AM - 6:30AM

哇哇哇哇哇哇

哇哇哇哇哇哇

哇哇哇哇哇哇

哇哇哇哇哇哇

好多人啊!! 豬進出著mall無數次, 就從沒看過這麼多人,  難怪新聞說"節日購物馬拉松23日正式登場即聲勢強勁"!  不過呢,  每家店光結帳排隊就得排個半個小時, 實在讓豬沒瞎拼心情, 差點就打道回府, 直到找到朋友, 四人發揮團隊力量 : 一個排, 3個挑.  就這樣, 四人逛了一堆店, 直到天明, 逛的4個媽都腰酸腿軟,  頭昏眼花 , 不過都收穫不少喔!

至於Coach, Juice Courture,  光要進這店, 就得排個兩個小時,  要在5度C 氣溫下站那麼久, 乾脆把豬殺了吧! 

別以為5度很冷喔!! 大家血拼來瞎拼去可熱鬧的粉呢!!

不過,  午夜血拼的後遺症很大, 連日的忙碌加一夜沒睡, 讓豬只能維持到把車開回家, 然後就累弊了.  接下來的幾天幾乎沒力出門, 正如新聞上偉大的分析師的預測:  "隨著數百萬天未亮就瞎拼(shopping)的民眾開始產生購物倦怠，購物的狂熱會逐漸退燒，危及周末銷售。 ..........."

 

大家看看下面店家的折扣吧! 很吸引人是吧!! 至於2008黑色星期五豬還會去嗎??? 

豬想:

OF COURSE!! 明年10點出發 走小路 先到Coach排隊吧!!  有沒有人有興趣的啊?? 留名吧!!
