On anything that actually matters 500+ purchases. I have only had once a manager decline to offer the deal later in the year, because their manufacturer specifically discounted it for those two weeks.
Alright. I have a business degree, and that checks out. However, the same logic of: if you can “loss-lead” on Turkey day, you know it isn’t a loss, just little-to-no profit, how about you sell me that at this date. After all, it isn’t like anyone who just came in for that sale is shopping again.
That, surprisingly works. Also, if you ever are spending 1k on something and you do not ask to negotiate… like they get spiffs and kickbacks, they want that sale, they can discount, etc. Don’t be an asshole and bargain over bread, but a sofa? Damn right.
Bagels. We ran out of bagels and I am hoping that all the shoppers are so busy getting their special deals that I can actually get in and out of the grocery store in one piece. We’ll see.
Mehbe.
No, but I need to run to the grocery store in the next day or so. Does that count as ‘shopping’?
@Tadlem43 Yep, I had to run out for a friend to get them a special brand of Ice Cream. PTL Dollar Tree was still open.
I need toilet paper. May God have mercy on my soul
@TheGreatNico I technically went out and got toilet paper at the gas station just now
… But it’s actually because I need snot rags (and TP is cheaper than lotion tissue)
You mean a physical store?!? Yeah, no.
I need clothes hangers and groceries. Probably will stop at the parts store for oil and filter for my car too.
I used to before Black Friday became washed out.
These days the sales aren’t that impressive and spread out over weeks before and after.
Only to the hardware store, if I can’t get this plumbing project sorted.

It’s 19 degrees outside at 11:32 a.m. so I’m not going anywhere.
@Kyeh Move here. It is 52.
@Kidsandliz It was 68 here on Tuesday!
Black burboun county beer release day. Yep, out.
