Comment on Black Friday not the cheapest time to shop, says consumer group

I used to work at Microcenter for awhile. The best time to buy was always back to school. Holiday deals start at the beginning of November and are the exact same as Black Friday minus a few small door buster deals and maybe a special on a few models of pc. During back to school, pretty much everything is heavily discounted.

Would make sense because laptop companies always push out new products for back to school, and usually cpu releases happen months before back to school to allow production to ramp up to account for the sales.

Honestly the biggest reason was that college kids are more likely to buy the accidental damage warranty or have parents that will.
