NYC Black Friday shoppers feel the sting of high inflation, soaring prices: ‘They say I’m getting a deal but I’m not’

Black Friday isn’t what it used to be!

Shoppers in the Big Apple favored affordable brands like Zara and Abercrombie & Fitch over high-end retailers like New York’s famous Bergdorf Goodman on the busiest shopping day of the year Friday — as concerns about inflation hit a 12-year high.

Bargain hunters who hit the brick-and-mortar stores to try and snap up Black Friday deals told The Post that the savings are getting smaller.

I laugh at reality biting the morons.
They’ll still vote Dem.

Moment of clarity for the shoppers....

I figured Turkey would be cheaper the day after Thanksgiving and I was right. Got a 12 pound Turkey for 12$.

What about the white shoppers?

Single white heterosexual male. Divorced. Parents and siblings are all deceased. My children are married live out of state. The holidays are a breeze now. Shopping for gifts is a thing of the past and now I enjoy the holidays as they were intended.

Thanksgiving and Christmas - I volunteer at my church and a local shelter helping prepare and cook meals for low-income families and homeless people. I get to rejoice in the day for what it is and be of service to others. Then I go home, cook myself a nice meal and binge watch holiday flicks.

I am grateful I no longer feel the need to purchase gifts for the sake of purchasing gifts.

i saw a video on twitter showing Target slipped in identical adds saying TG Sale Price over an ad with the EXACT SAME PRICE on it...

I didn’t see many, if any, person with goods in tow. They looked as if the were just traveling through, and not really buying.

Can’t they just steal everything?

Life is just a bowl of cherries.
Don’t take it serious; life’s so mysterious.
You work, you save, you worry so,
But you can’t take your dough when you go, go, go.
So keep repeating it’s the berries,
The strongest oak must fall,
The sweet things in life, to you were just loaned
So how can you lose what you’ve never owned?
Life is just a bowl of cherries,
So live and laugh at it all.

‘They say I’m getting a deal but I’m not’

Sounds like every Dem voter who finally saw the light.

Don.t worry, it will be fine, we won’t run out of money, they will print more. Oh, and elections actually have consequences, if you don’t like it, well that’s tough, You voted for it.

The older I get, the more I find myself moving away from the secular part of Thanksgiving/Christmas. I still buy presents for Christmas, but I think more and more about the birth of Christ.

(Black Friday isn’t what it used to be!)

Where did you get your Turkey?

[Iron Munro]

When the Obamatollah said “Elections Have Consequences” I would imagine most of them never thought for one second
their vote for socialist-globalist-Woke democrats would affect them in a negative way.

I used to enjoy picking up some cool stuff at good prices. Sometimes stuff for myself.

This year I ordered a few DeWalt batteries that I need for my job. Even though the company pays I look for deals. Found a decent price at Lowe’s and ordered a few. That was it.
