I just spent $65 on one bag of groceries.

Then I spent $40 on gas @ $4.99 a gallon.

Who the fuck can afford electronic toys anymore?

Reuters
Thin Black Friday crowds mark U.S. holiday shopping kickoff
Arriana McLymore and Doyinsola Oladipo
Fri, November 25, 2022, 4:05 AM
By Arriana McLymore and Doyinsola Oladipo

(Reuters) - Thin crowds of inflation-weary consumers hunted for Black Friday deals at stores in big cities including New York, Los Angeles, Chicago and other locales, marking the start of a U.S. holiday shopping season crucial to retailers in an uncertain economy.

Many shoppers who opened their wallets said their purchases were strategic, not impulsive or splurges.

"We've been waiting" for discounts, said Tulio Rose, 28, who picked up a big-screen TV at a Best Buy store in Los Angeles, while shopping with Barnisha Nill, 35. They saved about $500 on the 85-inch (2.16-meter) Samsung TV for their new apartment.

About 166 million people were planning to shop from Thursday's Thanksgiving holiday through this coming "Cyber Monday," according to the National Retail Federation, almost 8 million more than last year. But with sporadic rain in some parts of the country, stores were less busy than usual on Black Friday.

Re: LMAO: Absolute Chaos Breaks Lose As Doors Open on Black Friday
I went out this afternoon for normal stuff. Not crowded. I didn't really see people looking at the sale stuff, just doing normal shopping.

Only thing I'm bothered by is this is supposed to be our busy time of year for our small business and it's not happening. People just aren't buying stuff.

N GA here. No one out shopping at 7am at stores harbor fright, academy sports, lowes, home depot and walmart all more or less empty. I asked the walmart employees and they had no idea they were expecting to be over run. Walmart even had sheriff deputies outside and didnt even need them. Deputies were very bored.

I have never seen it like this on Black friday.

COVID killed Black Friday.

People don't want to risk getting infected.

It's odd lately, lots of years when I scope out all the black Friday ads, I would see a few things that I might buy.

This year ALL the stores have the same duplicate crap.

Really, I don't see anything that I want to buy this year at all.
It's become too boring.
I'm out.

True.

I have to drive past the Big Outlet Mall on the way home from work.
I get near there 1.5 hours after they open.
The 4 lane I go on is usually backed up for a few miles & all the local roads are choked.

Watched google maps traffic on the way home. Planned to jump off and circle around to get home.

Nothing, Nada, Zip

Only light traffic, like a Saturday morning. A few more cars than normal on the local roads.
No sign of ANY traffic heading to the mall.
