Black Friday is finally upon us, and this means that its sales galore. While we may be living in a world of modern-day technology, there's nothing like a good old-fashioned family trip to the mall, where customers will be flocking to flood each store as they rummage through its offerings in the hopes of snagging a good deal for virtually pennies.
Black Friday is the best day to get everything you need without breaking the bank, and for most, it's an opportunity to get some of the higher-end products at cheap prices. However, as most online have pointed out, "Black Friday doesn't hit like it used to." This means that sales are not as juicy and worth fighting over as they once were.
Regardless, the following malls offer the best deals you can find right now. In this new era of scarce and penny-pinching sales, these deals promise you a bang for your buck!
