Couldn’t figure out why today was such a bore. Couldn’t see what all the hoopla was about. Putting “Door Buster” and 60% off or more signs on everything doesn’t make it a deal. My husband was talking on the way to the gym (and no, I was not going to work out, silly! I just plop my fat ass in the steam room and cook the low-pressure way), about all the people on the news raving about what great deals they were getting. He said that it’s the same thing I do day after day, and if people really wanted to save money they’d shop more like me.
That’s when it hit me that he was right (that in itself was a shocker, I’ll admit). So that’s why the whole BF media blitz doesn’t work for me. I prefer to shop during normal hours, in well-stocked stores, with clerks and cashiers readily available to answer questions and ring up sales in a timely fashion…none of which was happening today, bucky.
So tomorrow? Hit another PetSmart or two, maybe a Hallmark store, possibly check out Target, but from now on, my deals are going to be made from the comfort of my own home (probably Amazon). ’cause unless you’re running Black Friday shopping as a competitive sport, it ain’t worth it.
