Here's my problem: Sometime this morning I will leave the safety of my home to purchase a specific item for my visiting son, who is leaving in a few hours to return to his own home. I will be patronizing a teeny little shop just a mile away and owned by a literal Mom and Pop, but today is Black Friday while tomorrow is Small Business Saturday! Should I instead drive to the Wal-mart 15 miles away and risk getting beaten, stabbed or trampled by the mobs in order to be a good American, not to mention get the damn thing for 50% off?
The worst part is that my son is mocking the whole thing, thanks to me being such a a bad role model. Unlike many of his generation he is not occupying Wall Street or even occupying Black Friday, but at 9:49 in the morning he is still, defiantly, occupying his bed. I'm so ashamed.

ReplyDeletedid you take a bunch of photos??? i want to see them.
Hopefully you bought local. That is the way to go. There are better deals online if you look versus going to the mall. Most large stores raised their prices before "black Friday" so it would seem like a great deal. Most stuff offered on these sales are old models and only a few in stock. Don't bother. NOT worth the hype. Buy LOCAL!!!!
