I see one today on Facebook and it’s unbelievable how low the prices are. I think it’s just a big scam to steal debit or credit card numbers. People were responding like they were so excited but if it seems too good to be true it is.

@calicuz The "While Supplies Last" may mean they only have 1.

@calicuz and free shipping too for $40 and over….they’d be losing their butts on that. They could easily sell these items for about 5 times more in the store to get traffic inside but no let’s pay for shipping costs on top of dirt-cheap savings. That don’t make any sense at all to me.

You're right, "if it's too good to be true, it probably isn't."

Not in the least. I don't like normal weekend crowds, and the Black Friday crowds have been systematically whipped up into a frenzy by advertising and the media. People are getting killed in the resulting stampedes. I make a point of not even leaving the house on that day.

We have Black Friday sales in New Zealand. But it’s not as crazy

What dooes New Zealand celebrate on the last, or second to last, Thursday in November?

@calicuz normal day but expat Americans do thanksgiving.

Yes we do, but if New Zealand wants to get in on the Black Friday fun (not) I'm down. 😎
No, i walked through the store the other day that had early black friday sales and got some awesome deals.
No. I did Black Friday once, to get a deal on a tv...never again.

@BizSuitStacy Can usually scout out sales online before or after Black Friday and get better deals. Also some of the TV that seem really cheap are not high quality. I wonder how many people do reviews and ratings on what they buy before purchasing.
Not unless I need something that's on sale.

I don't see any sales on the tv or read the newspaper, I'm not a boomer 😂

I bought a squishy beep dog-toy on Black week earlier today. I just looked for a toy online and saw the sale.


My partner keeps tracks on the electronic devices sales and have bought a few things.


We might buy a new phone for his mom too.

No, it just tells me that it would be pointless going shopping on that day. Thankfully it isn't a big thing outside the US.
