Black Friday FLIP THE SCRIPT

[Dylan W.]

What would happen if all of our wives,girlsfriends ect...who are currently scanning the Black Friday sale adds, would buy MADE IN USA only?

Just mentioned this to my wife and mother in law and they both said they would ''try'' to buy stuff that was made in USA only...lol We'll see how that goes.

but seriously...what if? If just for this one day.

My thought would be do not buy on Black Friday . I would like to see how that would go . I did this last year and checked all the current prices to prices of stuff before Halloween and they actually raise the prices slowly so that when they go on sale they cost the same as if you were to pay for them in July.


I hate to rain on everyone's parade but all the stuff you are thinking you are getting a deal on your not .

I do not believe this. Tvs are on sale for door busters for much cheaper than you could get them in July. Now youd have to wait in line and all that but they are cheaper.

They wouldn't come back with shit! I honestly feel strongly about trying to do this whenever possible and you just can't find it. Easily 90% of the stuff you buy use isn't made here. Really makes me sick, at least I know where my PBR comes from

Seems more and more I am seeing where a retailer will order in some cheap crap from "螺丝眼轮 Electronics Ltd" and blow it out as a loss leader at a minimum loss! And the good stuff is the usual price!

My solution...?

Let the maniacs crawl the malls...were goin' to Callalantee for the weekend!!!

sad but true. Worse yet, I bet 90% is low.
Ever been to Harbor Freight? that place is the epitome of how bad it is.

Yeah the black friday things has gone to shit.

It started with huge loss leaders to bring the crowds, then we moved to selling at cost and calling it a deal, now they are having one off spec models made for this sale only and there is no deal left.


Oh well...
