Well Black Friday has come and I saved a ton… by not buying anything. It may just be me, but the thought of pushing my nose into the armpits of someone that spent the last week camping outside the store just doesn’t impress me… Even if I lost out on one good deal.
To console myself I look through a list of news articles on the joys of Black Friday shopping. For example, aren’t you glad that you saved yourself the fun of getting pepper sprayed just to save a couple bucks on an xbox at Walmart? Or maybe the let down of getting shot in the foot after walking home after midnight with your prize purchase? I think it’s slightly scarier that those individuals were ready to shoot back at the perps.
Then of course there is the multiple accounts of people ignoring the lines and choosing the 100% off 5 finger discounts being offered in the parking lots. Not cool guys. Why is Walmart a magnet for these sorts of things?
If looking at photos of crazed Walmart shoppers floats your boat then I recommend looking at Black Friday in photos.
Here’s a question, what’s cooler? Getting your wife a good deal on a piece of Walmart jewelry, or getting arrested for fighting over said jewelry?
I think the following tweet says it all, “Nothing makes me less hopeful for humanity than watching people get trampled for a $5 microwave at Walmart.” Thank you America.
Ok, so I know most of us really want some good deals. Fear not, most of your favorite stores are kindly offering black friday sales. Here’s a few to add to the links on the right hand side of the page.

So don’t despair, don’t resort to bear spray and just walk away from that imposing individual who wants that jacket. When you get back to your computer you’ll know that you are the fastest click in the west.
