Are you one of the millions who shops Black Friday? This big day is coming up...like, this coming FRIDAY.
Ahhh, Black Friday! Better known as the unofficial kickoff to the Holiday season. I read a meme the other day that said: "Some people train for marathons. Some train for Black Friday."
A few years ago, I was one of those who was in the best shape for shopping black Friday. My feet may have thought otherwise, but my determination was real. I had my apps, my map planned out for which stores to go to first, had the stamina I needed, a donut in one hand and coffee in the other. LOL
My girls and I were on a roll and nothing was going to stop us. We would hit the road at 4:00 AM and not get home until around 9:00 that evening. Was it fun? We had a blast.
Well....things have changed now days.
What changed was ME! I find it kinda nice to be able to shop in my PJ's, messy hair and all. I have learned that I can scroll the internet while enjoying the comforts of my own bed. I don't get caught up in the "Bargain Sales" and 😇 I stay out of trouble.
Thoughts on black Friday...
This coming Friday will be chaotic, hilarious, and surprisingly fun for many people.... not me this year.
But, if you are one that enjoys this big day, remember to stick to your budget and don't let sales hypes make you lose your mind.
The best deals are not worth your peace, so make a Black Friday Checklist and be patient in those check out lines.
And...and...Be safe!!
Shug...
My sister and I used to love Black Friday, but things have changed. In our area, the sales seem to start before Thanksgiving and the deals on Friday aren't as good. We sure used to have fun!
ReplyDeleteIt's getting that way here as well. I just try to be very cautious with all the sale ads.
DeleteIt's all about budgets! I just loathe when they are fake sales!
ReplyDeleteYes.. and there are so many fake sales that people buy in to. 😢

ReplyDeleteWhen my sons were younger, my sister and I would hit the stores leaing the house at 3:30 am. Instead of the Christmas themed clothes I wore a lime green jacket and she wore a canary yellow one, so we could easily spot each other. One of us would stand in line while the other snagged the items. We could cover 5 different stores, end up at the mall for the last one and be in the food court having coffee by 9. We called it guerilla shopping. It was fun at the time, but I like the lazy Fridays now.
ReplyDeleteI have friends - two sisters - that were actually written up in the paper - they start shopping right after Thanksgiving and spend about 19 hours shopping straight.
