Shrac of the Day

Shrac Friday

November 28, 2009

So yesterday was the infamous “Black Friday,” and Natalia and I decided to check out Target at 7AM, hoping the murderous, blood-sucking, step-over-your-mother-for-10-bucks-off-a-DVD mobs would have dissipated. Unfortunately, there was still very much of a line inside the store to check out, so we left empty-handed.

Somewhere between squeezing by people in the aisles, stepping over merchandise that had been knocked onto the floor, or watching people stuff their newly-purchased wares into the backseat of their SUVs was when I came to a conclusion about THIS post-Thanksgiving phenomenon… it’s just NOT worth it.

“But Luis! I got DVDs for 5 bucks each!”

“But Luis! I saved a bundle on toilet paper!”

Ok, so you saved about 15% on your crap, big deal!! I’ll take sleeping-in, relaxing with family, and eating leftovers comfortably, over the 30 cents you saved on whatever piece of garbage you wrestled away from Betsy down the street.
