That would be Black Friday’. 3 years past and BF sales have underperformed. It will be far worse this year.

Our local news had a story on the demise of Black Friday. Said the end may come this year or within 3 years. I think the end will come sooner rather than later.

I stopped shopping on Black Friday some years ago. Much more convenient to shop online any other time, especially with free shipping. Then about 5 years ago, I went with gift cards. Let the recipient pick out the gift. Last year, the family and I agreed to do away with gifts altogether. I'm on disability, and everyone else is facing uncertain economic times. This is one expense we don't need.
