Random Thoughts on Black Friday

Ok so everyone knows that I get into these moods where I just ramble about stupid stuff. Well today my topic of choice is the black Friday sales. I will admit that I was hooked from a very young age. I think the first year I went I was 12 or 13 and I have gone every year since then. Last year was the first year that I didn't go to the Mall, just to a few little stores. I don't think I am going to go at all this year. As I was perusing the ads online(which you can already view) to see the early a.m. specials, I realized a few things. 1. I do not need to buy an electronics store(almost all the good deals are for electronics). 2. My son is way too old for any of the toys that are on sale, 3. My daughter is too young for any of the toys on sale and 4. Where are all the good sales on like diapers and necessity type items. All of those realizations have me asking myself, Have I turned into an old fogey? or am I just being unrealistic in my expectations of black Friday. It seems when I was younger that I always found much better sales. I finally came to the conclusion that yes, I do have different priorities than I did say ten years ago, but black Friday has gone downhill in those same years as well.
