Black Friday fun

photo Karen Hall, left, and her daughter Bethany, 11, shop for clothes at Old Navy on Thursday. Hall said that most of their shopping was being done for the angel tree at Bethany’s school. Shoppers browsed through the Old Navy store near Shallowford Road on Thanksgiving.

Jason Hart will tell you he doesn’t shop Black Friday, but talk to him for a bit and you’ll learn he loves the deals.

He’s not the shopper, he’ll say, it’s his wife. She goes out every year with her family to take part in the annual retail ritual and shops all day. He only grabs one, maybe two items when their sale prices are too good to pass up.

“I’ll go for one item and that’s what I get,” he said.

His wife Autumn agreed.

“I go have fun with my mom and my sister,” she said. “He’s more deal-oriented.”
