Right after Thanksgiving, a day of expressing gratitude and surrounding yourself with loved ones, comes Black Friday - a day dedicated to consumerism. While most shoppers are looking for great deals on Christmas presents for those near and dear to them, the day is usually anything but peaceful. We’ve all heard stories of shoppers beingbrutally injured, and nowadays, it can be hard to even find deals that areworth it.But the evolution of the day doesn’t stop shoppers from trying to get the best bargains they can find, even if that means ordering them online instead of leaving their homes at the crack of dawn with a Thanksgiving hangover. And lucky for us, sometimes those shoppers manage to snap photos of hilarious fails that they’ve encountered in stores!

To learn more about Black Friday andhow totake advantage of the day, we got in touch with Arfa Nazeer, Blog Strategist and creator ofShe Means Blogging. First, we wanted to know how she typically chooses to participate in Black Friday.“As I run an online business at She Means Blogging, I make purchases on discounts and also find the best offers for my readers,” Arfa shared. “For example, buying any online tool, digital product or any subscription. Similarly, I find the best deals for growing bloggers, so they can make affordable choices when they are at the beginning stage. I also make a separate listing for my subscribers, so that they find the best deals in their inboxes. Who doesn’t like saving some money, right?”

We were also curious about any Black Friday deals that Arfa has snagged in the past that saved her a huge chunk of change. “I got myself an online course at a 50% discount last year,” she told Bored Panda. “As for this year, I’m planning to grab a website theme and maybe find some office stuff on sale.”
What advice does Arfa have for shoppers who want to make the most of Black Friday this year? “The first thing I would say is to clearly know what you have in your wish list,” she shared. “Before making your purchases, it’s important to do your research to compare the items and deals. If it’s a physical item like a piece of furniture or a display thing, I would definitely suggest checking stores and seeing it yourself. Otherwise, it is a smart choice to do online purchases, as it saves a whole lot of time and gives you the best discounts from the comfort of your home.”
“Another tip is to bookmark the pages and save the dates, as many websites run Black Friday offers for a limited time,” Arfa added. “And, you don’t want to miss those deals!”And if you’re looking for even more advice to snag the best bargains, be sure to check out Arfa’s blog post “2024 Black Friday Deals For Bloggers And Cyber Monday Deals!”

Idk about you guys but our Black Friday reshop was so bad to the point where it was literally becoming a sever safety issue for us but we survived.
While Black Friday might sometimes seem like an outdated event, it was still the biggest in-storeshoppingday of 2023 in theUnited States,Queue ITreports. And online spending on Black Friday continues to increase almost every single year, jumping up from $9.12 billion in 2022 to $9.8 billion in 2023.
Not everyone gets to spend the holiday seasonshopping, though. Some are forced to spend their days working behind a cash register or stocking stores to prepare for the seasonal crowds. According toTechTarget, retailers hire an additional 400,000-500,000 employees each year for the holiday season. In fact, Amazon alone announced that they planned to employ 250,000 additional workers to make sure that everyone’s Christmas presents are delivered on time.
I came out of the gym early one morning and went to the mailroom to check my box and suddenly i was stepping on glass and i saw this.The front car gate to the complex has been broken for WEEKS and anyone could (and did!) walk in. The stupid part of this building design is that to enter the (partially) outdoor hallways to apartments there’s no need for a fob or a key and to enter the hallway with gym and mailroom access you just need to go through the fire door, which is not locked.Luckily, I had no packages so only mildly infuriating for me because now all non-USPS packages are routed to the front desk which is only open 8-6 on weekdays. I pity everyone else though because Black Friday was recently and that room was full to the brim.
Purposely mark up price to an insane amount so it looks like a 77% off steal. Still more than I would pay for the laptop too
Target sends out a promotion for up to 50% off Lego sets for cyber week. $1 off. $0.50 off. $0.10 off. What a sale. Better jump on this one while supplies last.
It’s mildly infuriating that companies are starting Black Friday in early November (this one was November 8th).It’s also annoying that they call this a “leak”.I knows it’s just corporations being corporate… but this is just stupid.
It seems my Black Friday purchase is cursed. First shipment was damaged, oh well, it happens. But the second one was damaged as well! I wonder if the third time will be a charm?
Discount on animals for black Friday. At petsmart.
I’m sure ShopKo (west-coast, northWest, chain department store…kind of like Target-lite) isn’t the only chain to jack up prices and then advertise massive “sales.” But this version was pretty egregious.

First they sent the wrong item so I had to email for a replacement and the replacement arrived broken. Sigh. After waiting so long for my order this is ridiculous
So this was supposed to be a discount but they forgot to hide the original price. I wonder wich other stores do this just before black friday.
I’m not sure when they made this switch but they’re now only displaying the percent off of the list price instead of showing that AND any form of pricing. You are required to tap on an item to see what that “percent off” means.
My bf wanted to buy a copy this week. He checked at midnight, it was $23.99, He messaged me this morning to tell me it went down to $18.99, I guess it went down $5 lol. But I bought my copy last week.
Prices are just being set in the system, so when the page loads it’s still the previous price of 356CHF. But for Black Friday the price is set to 430, with a generous 50 off, so you can buy it for 380chf (1chf=1.1 USD)
My expensive ring I’ve been wearing for years and am really proud of vs. a ring she found on temu that “looks similar”.
Went to the Chicago outlet for Black Friday. I think the deals were better last year. Leggings $69 Bras $29 Wunder puff $89 Long sleeve $49 Dresses and bodysuits $29 Shorts/skirts $39
This is a screen shot of Amazon’s lightning sale for geekee headphones. Notice the advertised previous price of $139.99 to make you think you are getting a great deal. Who could resist an 87% discount?This is a screen shot from geekee' s own website. The normal price (non discounted) is $29.99. Yet another example of Amazon (and many other businesses) lying about original prices to get you to buy stuff you may not need. Remember: even if it is a super short term sale DO YOUR RESEARCH to avoid getting ripped off.
The cover photo shows an iPad Pro, and I’m thinking that’s awesome I should check this out. Open the article, and find that it’s a regular iPad. Not quite awesome.
Whoa, all tires for cost price? (says so on the front page today). Nice! But wait… That doesn’t seem so different from the prices I saw earlier this week.As it happens I still had a browser open from last Wednesday. !! They raised their prices 2,4% and are selling it as black Friday deal.
