El Buen Fin 2013 (ElBuenFin)

El Buen Fin ("The Good Weekend") is Mexico's answer to the U.S. Black Friday deals. Although in the states it was customary that the sales after Thanksgiving Day were only on Friday, retailers have expanded their deep discounts throughout the weekend. This is where El Buen Fin comes in as it is not only one day of sales, it is a whole weekend. The purpose of this program was to impulse the Mexican economy and get people out there to spend their hard earn money. This initiative is an alliance with retailers in department stores, grocery stores, apparel, automobiles and more. Big retailers like Suburbia and Wal-Mart are on board and supporting the initiative as well as smaller stores across the country.

El Buen Fin takes place in Mexico starting November 15 through November 18. A full list of stores is available here along with the offers for the weekend. Although the discounts offered by retailers helps out the economy, many detractors feel that the consumer loses out in the end. To take advantage of the sales, consumers often find the necessity to open up a credit line and creditors are taking advantage of this and offering them with ridiculous interest rates.
