Bought a airfryer at Big Lots for 33 dollars, I needed a microwave, but got it instead

They really should change the name as it isn't just black people fighting and climbing over each other to try to get a bargain. Poor whites are sometimes doing it as well. Surprised this stereotyped racism is allowed.

@Mr Kipling, the name Black Friday refers to the first day retailers start making profits after almost eleven months of breaking even. It's got nothing to do with black people.

As for the crazy shopping, I'm not a manic consumer of anything, except good foods and wines, so I never, ever attend stores that promote nutty over-spending. You shouldn't buy something new unless something is broken or worn out.

My purse is already empty from Monday to Sunday so I am not affected at all, but the good thing is, some weird still have a little pocket money left to spend on all that low quality garbage and keeping the quite corona affected economies still somehow running a little bit longer before now soon the unavoidable endgame is coming and reaching out for us all anyway.

Black Friday sure brings out the best in us, doesn't it?
