Best Local Shops To Visit On Black Friday In Sacramento

To some, the day after Thanksgiving is the chance to loosen their belts, munch a leftover turkey leg and settle into an easy chair. But many diehards get up while it is still dark, fight for parking and gather in big crowds, waiting for mass retailers to open the doors at 5 a.m. For those people, it is all about Black Friday sales. While big chains do offer discounts, shoppers have to deal with long lines, major aggravation and the same-old, same-old products. Instead, check out Black Friday sales on unique items at these Sacramento small businesses. You will find great prices without the hassles, and be back home before the last of the pumpkin pie is gone.
