Wow, we had Thanksgiving Dinner last night and only a single person seemed interested in any kind of Black Friday deals. No one expressed any interest in getting up at 4 a.m. to go shopping for crap this year and I can’t blame them.
I could never understand why people wake up so early to try to get some teaser crap that they’ll run out of after 5 minutes of a retail outlet being open. I remember Wal-Mart having $300 laptops for sale a few years ago and I remember the crowds fighting over them like there would be anything cheaper! Lol, there are $300 laptops on any given day of the week at most places now and the price on everything seems to be dropping daily.
I’m actually beginning to wonder if the “buy crap on Friday after Thanksgiving” is finally coming to a cultural end. Oh I know there will be people shopping on Black Friday but I suspect the crowds will be thinner and likely window shoppers rather than actual shoppers but we’ll see what happens.
What was everyone talking about? Not spending to shore up cash in the event the economy turns for the worse and we’re no where near digging out of this economic black hole anytime soon so it makes sense. The prudent will survive, others won’t.

Agreed Black Friday is dead and as the years past by, the crowds will realize there are better savings opportunities with online purchases..
