Black Friday Purchases

[Sawin]

I haven’t bought and don’t plan to buy a single thing all thanksgiving weekend. Have pretty much convinced myself I have everything I need, and then some… if someone finds a deal too good to pass up, maybe I’ll jump on a bargain, but honestly not really looking hard anymore.

I feel like Black Friday sales rushes are a thing of the past.

The ubiquity of online ordering has gutted traditional retail.

Gone are the days of camping out in front of Walmart and enjoying the mad scramble for a marked-down Chinese television that might not survive the year.

That said, I bought a pair of Asolo 520 boots for $90 off—so deals still exist, just not the old-fashioned mosh-pit variety.

Miss the Black Fridays when you could get in line at 4am and get a very nice free computer at Best Buy…after you mailed in a shitload of receipts.

Only thing I purchased was 5 Perry’s Steakhouse pork chops for friends/family. So tasty! $22 for that 3” thick slow smoked goodness. Perry’s is so satisfying plus the view of valet parking: Lamborghini, 2 new Vettes, 2 Porsches, McLaren, and a Lotus.
