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.

This could be the shortest blog post ever, when people ask me “what sales are going on the day after thanksgiving” the answer is ALL OF THEM.

There really isn’t any store that I can think of that isn’t doing some sort of sale during the day after thanksging long weekend. Even some of the small local stores are getting in on the sales fever.

Obviously the big chains have huge sales going on which feature just about every electrical item you can think of.

• Walmart Black Friday Ads
• Staples Black Friday Ads
• Kmart Black Friday Sales
• Best Buy Black Friday Sales
• Lowes Black Friday Ads

The important thing when you look at the sales is to make sure you are buying something you want, there is no point in buying something just for the sake of it.
