What about prime day? I'm trying to get a 67 and a 29.

Isn't Black Friday the typical year round Kohl's model type of selling?
Xcallion1
The point of black friday is to get you to buy things you normally wouldn't. You will always buy groceries, ergo no need for a massive sale.

Black friday sales: Trying to hype the products they couldn't sell to people who cannot afford what they're being sold.

As someone who used to work in a grocery store, their "Black Friday" are the days before Thanksgiving. Come the day after Thanksgiving, and a bunch of stuff is wiped out until they can get new orders in and on the shelves.

Break up Kroger and Safeway.

How about a little biger TV, with three more features you'll never use?

You might have a 61", but do you have a 62" for $999?

Um groceries are on sale all the time, you just got to know the cycles.
Hashbrown123
Hell, they usually have a flier that will tell you everything on sale.
Lulabel73
And big signs and tags! Sometimes they even more the product to where you can see it!

Given the quality of black friday items, the bait and switch... not sure this is a good idea.

One of my grocery stores now has digital prices

There was a huge overproduction of avocados a year or two ago, yet guac was still extra.

Grow a lot, they are purchased by wholesalers for pennies, sold for dollars to the stores.

Those big TVs were a scam anyway. I guarantee you, they are not "on sale." It's a completely different model. They'll take a $1000 model and put the guts from a $200 model in it. Then they slap a "Y" on the end of the model number and sell it for $500. You buy it thinking "wow, a thousand dollar tv for half price!" but then you get it home and it performs like hot garbage. Ghosting everywhere, bad input latency, laggy smart tv features, ads injected into every menu, etc. Happens every year.

Used to work as a repair tech for geek squad. Those tvs are in fact exactly that, but worse. We had many black Friday deal tv's just flat out melt inside.
Billis75
I always feel like that is what Costco is doing because those TV SKU's don't exist at any other store.
ApothecaryGrant
Just for shits n giggles I'll sometimes check to see what garbage they're peddling. You'll know you're being taken for a ride because you won't be able to find that exact model number anywhere. Just models that look vaguely similar. Because that model did not exist yesterday. It was released that day just for Black Friday suckers.

I remember seeing tvs advertised as 4k resolution and 60hz refresh rate with only hdmi. this was before hdmi was capable of doing 4k@60.

What about all of the ones stacked up when it’s not Black Friday?
I got an Insignia (Best Buy brand). Not super cheap but I feel like it was a fair enough deal.
It’s sad because they feel so disposable. I’ll keep mine for as long as possible.
SuicidalBallsack
This doesn’t apply to every Black Friday deal but it def happens and more often than you think. Just be diligent and try to avoid the door buster/limited quantity sales; most of the time those are the unique models made for Black Friday. Source: worked at fry’s and Best Buy.

I worked retail a decade ago, we got special black Friday items in October and they were all just shit quality but looked like our regular stock.
Vergenbuurg
I dunno... the 32" LED HDTV I got at Staples Black Friday over 15 years ago is still going strong, with a crisp picture.

"15 Years ago"
There's the difference.

Oh, right. I forgot about enshitification. I know that term traditionally refers to online sites and services degrading in quality due to corporate investors, profit-seeking, and general evilness, but I feel it is also relevant to the physical world, as well, in terms of products and services.
Mairoa
That was the heyday of black Friday. Then corporations had our trust and started to scam us again. I got good shit on black Friday up until like 2009-2010ish. 2006 was amazing

And the $1600 OLED I bought turned green after three years of burn in and was donated to neighbors

Only once a year though? Foods don't last long.
BeaverOnFire
Better than zero times a year.

Tinned goods? Pasta, rice etc.
Nacon
Sure, you can store them for long, but how long can you avoid eating them?
Whatdoyousaytoanicecupoftea
Why? Lots of good canned goods out there?

...Dude, OP is literally asking for a bigger discount on food, so he could buy more.
