PAY DAY

Black Friday = Shopping Day!

Now let's see what bargains are out there...

[Slade]

PAYDAY

+2

Yesterday was payday + bonus day

Our fiscal year ended Aug 31, so we do annual PA's to see how we are doing individually, and then our raise and bonus depend on that number.

Then the last pay of November we get our bonus, and a our first pay cheque with our new wage + back pay to September 1st.

Lets just say its gonna be a sweeet weekend, and my bank account actually looks really well again!

And my new lady is making me be smart with the money this time. trying to get out of the pay cheque to pay cheque life and get ahead.

Now today is super busy , but its Friday, cake day, and a beautiful morning out!

Stores like that don't order products that are going on sale in hopes that they will sell it. The flyers you receive are nation-wide so it is luck of the draw whether or not your nearest location will have it in stock. Suppose every location orders 200 of every single product on sale in the flyer, what happens when they don't sell them all? They're left with an abundance of overstocked items that will just sit in the back room and take up valuable space.

And if they were to order you one, the sale would probably be over by the time you got it. A sale is a sale, you miss out, too bad. However, you can always ask them to check if other locations have it in stock and pick it up somewhere else... hell it's future shop there's a location every 2 blocks.

Why are you complaining about the opportunity to save some money?

You need to understand the difference between a "sale" item, and a "door crasher" . Sale items are discounted, often times by the manufacturer, with the store reducing it's profit margin slightly to help drive sales. Typically these are current items, and they can source more if required.
A door crasher special, the store and company typically lose money when they sell. They are offering a really low price to get people into the store, in hopes they will also buy other items that are less heavily discounted, so they can ultimately generate profit.
As well with door crasher items, they are usually a spot buy item, so the company has purchased a set number from the supplier for an aggressive price. They then divide these out between A, B, and C stores. Once they are sold out, they are gone for good.

It's not an opportunity to save money when you have to stand inline for two days outside in the ****ing freezing cold and then get inside to find out all the shit is sold out. It's ****ing stupid and pointless.

And why do we have to have it on the same day as america and call it the same thing? Can't we ****ing think for ourselves for once, being original and stop copying everything america does.

[mazdabetty]

We do! In fact I'm pretty sure we have more holidays here than in the states... we are very independent from the US.

The reason Canadian retailers are having these sales is to keep some of the business on our side of the border. A LOT of Canadians cross over to score some deals, even my parents are headed there today! I don't think it's such a bad idea, hey more deals for us and we don't have to travel as far

Have a sale, fine, but have it before Black Friday, then people won't want to cross the border when Black Friday comes. And for ****s sake, call it something other than black friday. Soo ****ing unoriginal. And such a terrible name for a ****ing holiday / sales day.

Actually, the name Black Friday in retail makes a lot of sense...if you care to do the research. It has long been considered the first day of the year retailers are making a profit, and hence are in the Black as opposed to being in the Red.

[Mitchell3]

That's fantastic! I say keep it up, if not to lose more weight but to maintain it.

Thanks! The game plan for now is to maintain. Just taking a while away from it for the christmas season. We'll see where i am after that and may go back on it!

Work christmas party tonight cant wait for the FOOODDD

Yes, but it's also black friday because of the people who have been killed in the mad rushes to get in the stores. Innocent people stamped to death by dozens if not hundreds of others because people have no ****ing patience.

More people die from malnutrition or disease in third world countries everyday than the totality of deaths from Black Friday shoppers. Why do you care more about Black Friday deaths, than deaths of children in third world countries?

I suspect because third world deaths are due to low levels of development and/or oppressive governments, while the Black Friday deaths are attributable to hedonistic consumerism.

I personally find the in-store Black Friday activities pretty repulsive, but the online sales are nice if there's something you've had your eye on for a while.
