"Lowest Prices Not On Black Friday, Research Shows"
"...lowest prices tend to come at other times of the year. In the case of toys, stores actually offer the steepest discounts in the weeks immediately following Thanksgiving because they want to unload the inventory not swept up on Black Friday."

WHAT ARE WE DOING WITH THOUSANDS OF LBS OF FOOD SCRAPS?
Its fall and Project EATS farmers are harvesting less and composting more. Arguably our most important harvest begins in late November and early December when we start collecting leaves, straw bales, horse manure, and food waste to feed our compost piles and mulch our beds.
After a long season of taking nutrients off the farm in the form of delicious produce we are now in the business of giving nutrients back to the soil.
More on Project EATS Composting.
