Black Friday is also not the most violent shopping day in the US. I wrote a blog post about it and a truly awesome movie idea, about seven years ago.
Edit: Fixed link!
Black Friday is the day after US Thanksgiving, which is the fourth Thursday of November.
I’ve never been one to shop for deals.
I’ve always thought you get 100% off the things you don’t buy.
I save quite a bit of money only buying things I really need, or are truly important to me.
A friend of mine once had this big ass box in his living room. I asked what the deal with that is. He said he bought a tv because it was “too cheap to not buy” the tv was worse than the one he had, so he moved that tv like twice and after 3 or so years he gave it away because he moved in with his girlfriend who also already had a tv. He still somehow thinks that was a good investment because how cheap it was.
no shit Sherlock.
Just don’t buy stuff you don’t need. 100% savings every time.
When will fediverse allow more than one upvote!? Until then, I can only give you this one
I agree with you, but the word “need” means different things to different people…
I need a m1 flamerthrower, a davey crocket, and a one way ticket to saudi Arabia. Doesnt mean ill get any of them.
Best part of the Davy Crockett is that the accurate range is less than the minimum safe distance of the warhead.
If Americans are complaining about the discounts on black Friday, what shall we (Europeans) say about it? Our discounts are at best lukewarm.
Y’all are also smart enough to know and prohibit retailers from boosting prices just before discounting them to trick consumers into thinking they’re getting a huge deal when they’re actually paying average, or above average cost for the product.
