Shopping on Black Friday: The Excitement Fades

I don't care what anyone says I miss donald trump. He had cheap gas.
The stores and brands are doing better these days because the sales are spread over the whole season.
It's because the sales suck. They arent even sales.
No one has money because of inflation. If these stores wanted to make a profit, they should have done black Friday sales on groceries, and other personal and home necessities!
It used to be fun taking my stress-induced tourettes syndrome girlfriend to the Black Fridays. "I'm so sorrry she meant none of what she said".
It’s your daddy Joes fault why people can’t afford “sales” Neil
Yes, we remember. When Trump was President and things were looking up, instead of swirling down the toilet. Libtards have done it. You will have nothing, and you will be happy they say. B.S. I say.
Everyone needs food and house before junk.
Best Buy is this century's Circuit City. Change my Mind.
I did my shopping where I always do, online.
Too be fair, I didn't buy anything online either. Nothing felt like a black friday sale. Walmart was selling TCL 55" for 188$ which were going like running water but that was pretty much it… just tv's.
Thank your local democrats for this disaster!
Meijer was dead too.
Nobody cares about the government forcing advertisements anymore. Raising prices before the actual holiday just to drop them to the norm. Most Americans have caught on & that old way of life is over !
Businesses adapted their sales to consumer behavior and spread the sales out. This story is nothing but a "back in my day… We used to wait in line to spend our money"
If someone finds shopping and time of th year,, there's something wrong with them.
30% off ain't worth it. Bring back 80% off and they might get a line going
“I liked it better when Trump gave us all those huge tax breaks” signed: only millionaires
Who cares.
There’s no good deals anymore and inflation has gotten so bad that it doesn’t even feel like we are getting a deal.
The thing that used get people really crazy and make those awful lines were those "door buster deals"… If this BF was like those of the past you'd see PS5 bundle for like 350$ maybe a meta quest 3 and OLED Tv also for 350$… That's the kinda stuff that get people to camp out… These days stores just don't care because of how big online shopping is they don't need to offer crazy deals to drive up in store foot traffic anymore… They make just as many sales without them thru online shopping…
The economy has gone worse in the United States. Thus, vast majority of customers don't have enough money to buy it on Black Friday.
Much love from El chapo son from dunseith North dakota God bless you all 🙏 ❤️
