Black Friday AKA Capitalism Rules

Yeah. You read right. This is for everything that doesn't have anything to do with Eva.

No Black Friday sales here, or good ones anyway. From what I've seen, the sales in the States aren't even that good either.

I think the really good ones are in store only, where I've not yet dared to venture.

It's that time of year again! I don't usually shop Black Friday sales, but I couldn't pass up The Witcher 3 and Mad Max for $25 each at Wal-Mart. I saved a total of $60, so I'm feeling good about my purchase.

Went to my neighborhoods little Tokyo to shop for stocking stuffers. There was a line out the door and around the block.

AT 10 AM the day before!

I got Splatoon online at Best Buy for $35. Wal-mart had it in-store for $25, but I'm willing to pay the extra $10 if it means not going into the store for that madness! :lol:

Also got some cheap games on Steam. I might look around wal-mart tomorrow morning and see what kind of deals are left over. There's usually plenty of stuff the morning after!
Someday I hope that we'll be reunited if that is what's destined to be. Perhaps we'll discover that elusive bible. And then we will finally be free!

I want Black Friday to get out. We already have Boxing Day.

Saw a few deals today that I may bite on, but undecided. Thankfully they run through the 1st so there is time to think. Otherwise spent much of today re assembling a machine I painted Wednesday night and dealing with people coming in after shopping all morning and such. We have a Target across the street from us and they were not nearly as busy as last year, though from the sales I saw, a lot of them weren't all that great this year so not surprised.

Assuming your from Britain, I'm glad Asda didn't participate this year. America can keep that tradition.

I haven't actually heard a massive amount about it so I'm just assuming nothing much happened and either way I'm just happy to boycott it entirely.

Though I got my PS4 controller for a great deal last year (my first adventure into Black Friday), this year I didn't get anything other than online order some family Christmas gifts.

Never liked the idea of the Black Friday madness but I somewhat blame the post-Thanksgiving fatigue all the same. :lol:

There's no way I'll risk dying in a stampede of people trying to get cheapass flatscreen TVs, but all this Black Friday stuff has been quite good for my business.

I decided to save winter clothes shopping until Black Friday and make the trip to the mall, but I had no ride and had to do it all online :/. I'm not sure whether I should be glad-- I've never been Black Friday shopping before.

I read somewhere that the Saturday before Christmas actually has better deals than Black Friday usually does.
