Are Shops Cheating Us At The Day After Thanksgiving Sales?

With a week to go just about every store has their day after thanksgiving sale ads out. The question is are they really offering us deals or are they conning us.

If you look at the typical day after thanksgiving ad you will see huge TV’s, Washing machines, eco friendly dryers and just about every electrical item you can imagine.

The photos will be huge, the discounted price will be in a very bold font and then in the smallest print possible which you will need binoculars to see (they are on sale at your local sports shop which is handy) it will say something like “While supplies last” or maybe the worst one of all “Minimum 2 per store,” “No rainchecks” or “All items are available in limited quantities.”

If a car dealer put a advert out for a car at a silly price then as soon as he sold one the price went up we would all go nuts, he would be featured on every local TV consumer show yet if Sears, Walmart, Target and the rest of the big boys do it then its fine.

I don’t know of any possible fix I just know that it leaves a bad taste in my mouth, especially if I get up at 2am and line up for 2 hours in the cold.
