Some people were asking me today if I was going Black Friday shopping tomorrow which was confusing as technically the 24th of this month would be Black Friday. Apparently, the reason for this confusion is that so many people are labelling this week\u2019s store flyers as a Black Friday sale of sort. Since tomorrow is Friday too you can imagine a regular person just assuming it\u2019s the actual big day and start to shop like crazy.<\/p>\n
It almost makes me wonder if companies do that specifically because of scenarios like those or if they are simply trying to capitalize on the Black Friday hype as much as possible. I would think for regular frugal shoppers though not seeing any standout deals wouldn\u2019t result in simply spending for the sake of spending even if you were holding out all year.<\/p>\n
Another interesting observation is how many companies are actually labelling this week\u2019s sale as a \u201cBlack Friday Super Sale\u201d which is odd to see so many use the same phrase. Is calling it a super sale a way to say they aren\u2019t claiming it\u2019s literally Black Friday versus celebrating sat the countdown to it as an example? <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
