So. Many. Sales.


Capitalism is relentless these days. For the longest time there wasn't even a Black Friday (it started in the 1950s). Then, advertising would come on hot and heavy towards the last week of November for after-Thanksgiving Black Friday sales. Then they invented Small Business Saturday and Cyber Monday. Now they have 'Early Black Friday' which apparently starts in October!?! Ugh

Quick tip: Even if there is a great sale, unless you actually NEED the sale item, save you money and skip buying. You don't need two, three, or four of an item and, especially these days, the 'newest and greatest tech' is usually a tiny, incremental change over last year's newest and greatest tech item.

  1. I couldn't agree with you more. I always like to say I saved 100% by not buying anything.
