Thanks for the heads up!

Looking throught the "door busting" specials, 1 quart poinsettia's are only up 50% from last year. Seems everything is wonderful as we are told to believe!!

I was there yesterday and were still $2.50. Had one in hand but opted for a Christmas cactus. 🎅
I bet at checkout it would have rung up up for $1.98, may be not all the stores have caught up yet

Remember when it used to be $1

Lowes used to have them for .49 cents

Bought the DeWalt 12/20v impact gun and ratchet kit today. Pretty good deal, comes with one of each battery

Rung up for 199, not 249 as the ad shows... I didn't complain

I thought about buying this for my son but I can’t find any specs on it.

Metabo HPT 36V Battery Kit with Free Bare Tool $199 Value - only three tools to choose from, is each tool even worth looking into?

I do not like Black Friday anything. I do not need anything. If I need something I can afford to buy it whenever. BF tells me that the prices were too high before the sale and are likely to go back up after Friday.
I refuse to stand in line to get in and out of the retailer. I do not like being inundated with advertising on You Tube, my email and even my text.
It is my understanding that this upcoming holiday started as a celebration of a religious event. What happened?

My understanding is it is not a religious event. It is an accounting one. It's usually this time of the year when stores go from operating "in the red" to being "in the black." In other words showing profit. I worked retail for many years before the Black Friday thing and remembered one day every year the owner would get excited and announce "We're in the black!"

Oh, I see. sorry.

Well, to be frank, the upcoming holiday is what it is---a thin veil thrown over the ancient pagan Roman holiday of Saturnalia. Saturnalia was a time of partying, gift giving, and letting the slaves have a little fun. Selfish materialism was a problem then too.
