Happy Caturday. So, how many of ya’ went out shoppin’ yesfurday? Come on now tell da twuff. MOL Fur all me furiends acwoss da pond dat awen’t familiar wiff Black Furiday, let me splain. Da day after Fanksgivin’ is posed to be da biggest shoppin’ day ever. Wiff da bestest sales. So good dat there awe peeps dat sleep in da pawkin’ lots in a line waitin’ fur da stores to open. And then everypawdy duz a mad rush (literally) into da store to get 1 of those 5 toys/teevees/catputers/xBoxes/ or whatever it is dat everypawdy’s wantin’ this year. Weez never had munny fur shoppin’ afur so mommy’s never been out on Black Furiday. And even tho’ awnty Jennifer sent us a gift cawd da day afur Fanksgivin’, mommy sed no way wuz hers goin’ out there to fight wiff all those idiots. Meez gotta tell ya’, me wuz sum kinda glad. You know me duz like peeps, but me finks dat might be a little more than this little Service kitty kuld handle.
As usual mommy’s point and click art
in one of ow favowit colors, purrple.
Mommy had been gettin’ emails wiff da ads, and sed there wusn’t weally anyfin’ on sale anyways. See dat’s da fing, maybe a long time ago there wuz weally sum gweat sales. But nowadays there’s so much hype dat da stores don’t weally hav to make da sales all dat good, peeps just fink they be gettin’ a good deal cuz they get Black Furiday blinded. Mommy did sum compawison shoppin’ last year and then again this year since she did get da ads ahead of time. And let me tell ya’, they sent da same ad to us 4 times a day fur da last week. They wuz twyin’ to hype mommy up, see. So mommy found 1 catputer and 1 teevee dat wuz weally on sale. You know da OMC gotta hav it and dat’s a steal sale. Da nex item even close to it wuz a hundwed dollaws more and closer to it’s everyday purrice. But guess what? It wuz sold out afur da ad even came out. MOL So there wuz all these peeps waitin’ in line fur sumfin’ they didn’t even hav da chance to get. Hoomans will do sum cwazy fings fur a so called bargain.
Now Let me tell ya’ meez mommy’s all ‘bout gettin’ a deal. She can stwetch a dollaw so faw yous can see wight fwu it, but at least weez not waitin’ out in da cold gettin’ sick to do it. But wait, it’s not over. Cuz come Munday, it’s all gunna stawt again. Only this time, it’s all gunna be online. Servers awe gunna cwash and yous catputer’s gunna run slow. There may even be sites yous can’ t load, and it’s all cuz it’s Cyber Munday. Mommy sed weez might even take da day off and not even turn on da catputer at all. So mommy counted ‘em, we got an average of 4 email ads per store today while black Furiday wuz goin’ on, and da last 2 had da ads fur Cyber Munday. So mommy clicked on over to a kupple of ‘em, and half da stuffs wuz alweady sold out. And yet again, da purrices wusn’t all dat good. Stores hav gotten smawt and hav stawted raisin’ purrices wight afur da holidays and then they dwop da purrice by da amount they wuz raised or not even as much. But da word sale in fwumt of it makes peeps fink they be gettin’ a deal. Weally not so clever ifin yous watchin’ da purrices all da time. So sum of yous out there got a good deal or two, but mostly everypawdy just fawt to get last mumffs purrices.

Do you know, in the UK we never used to have this Black Friday or cyber Monday thing at all until recently and now we saw on the BBC news all these stoopid people fighting over TVs and stuff which they then tried (and failed) to sell on ebay!! So dumb! You have the right idea for sure xoxoxo

Our Mommy avoids crowds AND stores like the plague! You should see what she’ll do to squeak out of going to the GROCERY store, for goodness sake.
We agree about the so-called deals…Mommy shops on line for most everything and she knows what she should be paying and that’s what she does, stocking up at REAL sales.

No Black Friday shopping for us but we did get a deal on some free photos online. Free is good and it’s the price we can afford. I love the image Nellie’s Mom made you. Cyber Monday will be the day all the hackers are out. Oh, you forget that today is Small Business Saturday to support local businesses.

Our mom says you couldn’t give her the stuff for free to get her to go out shopping on Black Friday. She stayed home with us and did some online shopping…trying to head off the online crowds that will be there Monday.
