Black Friday is fast approaching - only one month to go! Anyone else excited?

Unpopular opinion in the 2020s… YESSSSSS!!!!! I can’t wait.

Online shopping is just… flat. No hustle. No excitement. Just slouching.

Aren’t you British?

Yah, but Black Friday has made the jump over here at least for some shops. I've been coveting a few things for a while now and rumour has it, they'll be having a 50% off sale. Can't miss that!

Yes. Black Friday morning was always "all hands on deck" day for morning news shows at TV stations. With the advent of backpacks that allowed us to go live without a live truck, even though I was someone who normally working in the newsroom, on Black Friday I was out with a camera and a backpack unit doing live shots, most frequently from Target or Best Buy. Retired 4 years ago, so this will be my 5th Black Friday where I am not involved in covering the chaos. I will be in bed, asleep.

I don’t like going out and fighting the crowds, but I do like getting deals online. A lot of stores are starting sales earlier than Black Friday, so I am keeping my eyes open for things I want to give as gifts and for things I need for myself (I really need some new non stick cookware).

I used to have to work on Black Friday so I would head out about 3:30am and hit some stores before going into work.

Nope. I've never understood the excitement about shopping.

Nowadays since most stores have deemed the entire month of November as Black Friday in an attempt to curb the craziness and danger that the actual day has always been famous for, I didn't think it was that big of a thing anymore. But I guess I wouldn't really know since I don't partake. The day after Thanksgiving is always the day I stay at home and put up my Christmas decorations.

Yeah, I remember like 25 years ago frantically trying to get Razor scooters for my kids when they first came out. $100 each. That same scooter sells for $29 today!

Toys R Us used to become gridlocked with carts starting midnight after Thanksgiving. I do not miss those days.

I miss the days before BF was all online. I loved the hustle and bustle of lining up, shopping, etc. Such a rush, lol. The high isn't quite the same when I just click online.
