Holiday Shopping: Did You Get Tricked On Black Friday Too?
I did something this year that I haven’t done in quite a while, I went Christmas shopping on Black Friday. For some people this is a tradition that goes hand-in-hand with Thanksgiving but I’m not usually one of those people. In fact, I have only ever gone holiday shopping on Black Friday one other time in my life. So what possessed me to do it this year?? The DISCOUNTS of course!
It all started with one specific item I wanted to find a good deal on. It was a learning toy for my oldest son and I found a few stores that had it on sale at a good price. Then I noticed that a few stores were also selling some of the accessories for it at pretty cheap prices. So, I decided to start skimming the black friday ads online to see which stores had the best sales or else sales on the largest number of items that I wanted. Before I knew it, I had tagged five or six different stores with “good deals” on some items that were kind of on my radar to give as gifts. After all, I was going to be out anyway shopping for that “one” item so why not go ahead and take advantage of the other sales too… right?
So after being up all day Thanksgiving day, I brought my family home from the in-laws at 11:00PM and put the already-asleep kids in bed. Then, I headed to my first sale starting at midnight and continued shopping until 8:00AM… Now before you judge me too harshly, you should know that I got some really good deals on a lot of things. However, I also ended up getting sucked in to the classic sales pitch where you spend $100 to save $5 and walk away feeling like you really saved $5! After I got home and got some sleep, I started thinking about everything that I purchased and realized that over half of the money I spent that night/morning was on stuff that I had no intention of buying before I left on my little shopping excursion. I fell for the “good deals” and ended up buying stuff just because it was on a really good sale even though I didn’t really need it.
So learn from my mistake when you go shopping this holiday season and stick to your shopping list. Don’t let yourself get tricked into buying more than you can afford just because something is a good deal. Another good way to avoid this is to take a shopping buddy with you. I’ll write more about that later though. In the meantime, happy shopping!
