I often remind the folks at home that often the bargain they got is an illusion. This article is taken from the WSJ regarding Black Friday sales. It is the same all over the developed world. Of course you are far worse off if you fail to buy when it is on sales. You are truly ripped off.
Any wonder why some of the richest guys are in retail?
There is a very insightful cartoon done by Taiwanese on the history of black friday in US. Worth watching it on Youtube, even though it is in Mandarin. Don't worry, there are English subtitles
