We have no thanksgiving here, and Black Friday is not as big. Phew!The downside is, the shop displays the Christmas stuff before Halloween.
Thank you for the PSA, Patch! Very very very important information and recommendations there, sir! I, for one, am willing to pay the extra 10%-25% extra for items I want before and after the shopping shark-frenzy. I don't understand why saving $100 on a T.V. causes people to lose their empathy so quickly. It's not really much money for something that lasts for years. I have done all of my holiday gift shopping already and only paid $200 more in total than I would have saved going to black-Friday sales. I can work on that Friday and make up some of the money lost in not shopping on that day. Humanity is in a fragile state of greed and I choose not to take part in something that causes harm to others. It's a small moral high-ground I don't want to step down from.Sorry for the rant.
