Ok we're out grabbing coffee and this black Friday from lack of ads in yesterdays paper to the lack of enthusiasm all around today is a shift. Granted we need a new vacuum so that's easy to pick up but it's not the zoo of a few years ago here.

Is it odd that I come from a family that never did the black Friday thing?

No. And really we ordered a vacuum from the ad at Target yesterday while being couch potatoes. Just had to pick up today. Easy. I grew up rural MN so it wasn't a big deal. Late 90's-covid huge deal in metro area. Now, we just minimize stuff and conserve what we can.

I was saying yesterday how it's so different we used to be bombarded with Black Friday ads and even articles leaking stores sales ahead of time. This year, just nothing.

Everyone started Black Friday a couple weeks ago. It's all online.

We just don't shop as much anymore. Stage of life maybe.
