Well, well, well, look at the calendar! It’s that time of year again, the time for that Black Friday thing in 2014. You know, that day when everyone goes crazy for the sales after Thanksgiving? My old bones remember when we just ate leftovers and took a nap. But now? It’s all about them Black Friday sales ads. Lordy, I tell ya!
So, what’s the big deal this year? I seen some ads, they are everywhere! Them big stores, they put out the Black Friday ads early. Three weeks before, even! Like we got nothing better to do than stare at pictures of cheap stuff. They call it a “leak.” Like it’s some big secret they’re letting us in on. They are for 2014 Black Friday sales, I say!
They got all sorts of things on sale. You know that Walmart? They are in on it. And that other one, what’s it called… Target! Yeah, them too. And that Best Buy place, with all the fancy TVs and whatnot. All of them got Black Friday deals. And some are already out! It’s a mess, I tell ya!
- Walmart, they got stuff.
- Target, they got deals.
- Best Buy, more stuff on sale.
- That Amazon, all online.
- Costco, lots of big stuff, I guess.
I heard on the radio, some place called eBay, they got a thing-a-ma-jig for $150. A Chromebook. Sounds fancy. I don’t know what a Chromebook is, but it’s cheap, I guess. That’s a Black Friday 2014 deal right there, huh? It’s all about Black Friday, they say.
They say this whole Black Friday thing started way back. In the 50s, I think. Some place called Philadelphia. Cops were mad ’cause everyone went shopping after Thanksgiving. They called it Black Friday ’cause they were so busy. Sounds like a headache to me. Now everyone’s doin’ it. Even over in India, they got Black Friday now, can you believe it?
But, if you want them 2014 Black Friday deals, you gotta be quick, I suppose. I seen folks lining up outside them stores in the cold. For a TV! Can you believe it? I’d rather stay home with a warm blanket and some pie, thank you very much.
They say Amazon, they already started their sales. Eight days of them! They call it “Eight Days of Black Friday.” Like one day ain’t enough. It’s a whole week of craziness now. Seems like too much, if you ask me. All these Black Friday 2014 sales ads just make my head spin.
I remember one year, they had a sale on them coffee makers. My neighbor, she got one. Said it was the best deal ever. She stood in line for hours. I just use my old pot on the stove. Works just fine. These Black Friday deals ain’t always what they’re cracked up to be, I reckon.
But hey, if you like that sort of thing, go for it. Just be careful out there. Don’t get trampled by the crowds. And don’t spend all your money on stuff you don’t need. These Black Friday sales can be tricky, you know. They want you to buy, buy, buy. Even in 2014 Black Friday sales, that’s how it is.
I guess it’s a good time to get some Christmas shopping done early. If you can find what you’re looking for. Me? I’ll just stick to knitting scarves for everyone. Much cheaper, and a lot less hassle than them Black Friday crowds.
So, there you have it. That’s what I know about this whole Black Friday thing in 2014. It’s a big deal, I guess. Lots of sales, lots of people. Just be smart about it. And don’t forget to be thankful for what you got. That’s what Thanksgiving is really about, ain’t it? Not these crazy Black Friday sales ads. Well, I’m gonna go have another piece of pie. You all have a good one, now!
