I never understood black fridays. Although things might be a bargain I actually wonder how much of it is a need vs. a want.  I also realized that this black friday is a global event. They also have it in China as well, and its set on 11/11 of every year.
To put how big this event is... US consumer spending on black friday total average is around $19.7 Billion and as for China 11/11 it was reported sales were $139 Billion.... thats pretty crazy actually.

Its good to see there are people like you who thinks twice, and think again. I do worry about the economy going totally unpredictable these days. and I as well put my mind more into savings anf less spending as well.

Pretty good read for me today man~ cheers.
