– ratesupermarket.ca
Black Friday is bedlam.
If you’ve never been, by all means take part – but prepare yourself for a swirling mass of bodies clambering over one another to get to the best deals. According to a BMO poll, 47 per cent of respondents planned to cross the border for Black Friday in 2013. That’s up from 41 per cent in 2012 – and each shopper expects to spend an average of $292.
