Every single year, millions of people in the US and in some other countries flock towards stores as retailers offer a variety of discounts on Black Friday. We all love discounts and slashed prices, which is what brings people to all types of stores. But how did it all begin? What is Black Friday?

This is the first day after the Thanksgiving holiday and ever since 1932, this day has been marked as the beginning of the Christmas Shopping Season. Additionally, this whole shopping spirit is fueled by retailers who push the boundaries every year, by opening their stores as early as 3 or 4 am. Some even open their stores on the Thanksgiving Day in the evening.

As there are literally thousands of different types of discounts during the Black Friday, people struggle to find Black Friday deals every year. Luckily, there are different types of smartphone applications that are quite useful for finding the best Black Friday sales.
