The purpose of "Black Friday" is suppose to be when the stores stop losing money and making a profit. With that reasoning, why not run the sales over several days with plenty of inventory to fill the sales!! Not having 2-3 "cheap" items just to get you in the store. I know they think we're kinda stupid but we've caught on to the "oh, they will buy other regular price things" while they are in the store. Faulty reasoning to me. Who wants to fight crowds to buy 1 or 2 "cheap" items and then stays in store shopping for regular price items!!
A lot of the prices I'm seeing in ad flyers are not that much better than on any "regular sale day"!
