Black Friday is a Rip Off!

Still dreaming about that hot deal you wish to clinch on Black Friday?

Putting off the purchases in the month of November to score some discount?

Trust me it is a total rip off. As was said in the matrix “There is no spoon” – There is no deal.

You won’t believe this until you experience and I speak from experience.

Last year I and my wife went shopping for a dining table. Upon much research we tumbled upon this beautiful round top antique design in Ashley Furniture store. It was priced at $400 and we liked it. This was a fortnight before Thanksgiving. We put off the purchase till Black Friday to get it at a discount as we had an Ad from Ashley saying a 20% discount on Black Friday, before 8.00 am. So we came back on D day early morning only to find the same set priced at $500. Haggling with the store manager and sales guys yielded no result and we ended up purchasing it for $500 – 20% = $400.

It’s a shame how stores getaway with such practices and the consumer protection agencies just dose off. So that was the story of my last bargain hunting for Black Fridays.

I wish I could report Ashley Furniture to some Govt Agency that would reprimand them.
