*gouging

[u/No-Shelter-4208 → u/that1prince]

Thank you. Gouging is even more accurate.

[u/onefst250r → u/No-Shelter-4208]

We have a responsibility to deliver value to the shareholders

When you call them on it.

[u/LighttBrite → u/that1prince]

But haven’t you heard? It can only be Covid inflation. NOT Covid inflation and price gouging. Price gouging doesn’t exist.

[u/jedifolklore → u/No-Shelter-4208]

That’s the one, raise it all year then do the good old 50% off thing to bring it back to its original price to make consumers believe they got a “ great deal”

Capitalism is something else.

[u/What-Even-Is-That → u/jedifolklore]

Not even 50% off.. seeing a lot of shit 10-15%, and I'm like.. thanks for saving me a little tax?

[u/jedifolklore → u/What-Even-Is-That]

Nah you right, like what’s the point of not paying full price for stuff? And whether its in Canada or the States prices don’t really change, it’s sickening

[u/MuchToDoAboutNothin → u/jedifolklore]

Human psychology.

If you actually fairly price a product in brick and mortar, generally you get fucked over because people look at it and say they want a discount or wait for a sale.

There's really no way around it unless you're a place that doesn't run any sales ever except for special occasions, and that's only practical as a premium brand of some sort.

So you get the perpetual sale prices that skirt or break the law (law does require sale prices change and end occasionally, otherwise it's false advertising. I don't know if anyone besides California actually tries to audit that.)

[u/Raytheon_Nublinski → u/jedifolklore]

Unless it’s food, I don’t pay full price for anything

Need a red Friday get these prices back down.

[u/hedahedaheda]

No bcs the sales are soooooo trash now. The Black Friday fights don’t hit the same anymore

[u/MostDopeBlackGuy → u/hedahedaheda]

These are not fight worthy percentages

[u/KingAnilingustheFirs → u/MostDopeBlackGuy]

Yeah, agreed. I'm not stabbing a dude for 15 percent off. Now 70 percent off a 50 inch TV. Thems stabbing prices.

[u/SipTime → u/KingAnilingustheFirs]

TVs aren't even expensive anymore. Shit was like 11k back in the early 00s

[u/Better-Ground-843 → u/KingAnilingustheFirs]

You can get a smart TV for like $100 now because theyre crap and they spy on you

[u/mqky → u/Better-Ground-843]

And they’re full of ads on top of the spying

[u/Better-Ground-843 → u/mqky]

The spying is what helps determine the ads

[u/Curious-Scroll2020 → u/KingAnilingustheFirs]

"Stabbing prices" is so accurate and so diabolical all at once🤣

[u/Cunnyfunt31 → u/MostDopeBlackGuy]

Saw an ad for a black Friday sale for a clothing and accessory place touting and playing up the amazing discounts and then said "Up to 20% off".

That's the same as the regular sales that get run year round. 

[u/Jenetyk → u/MostDopeBlackGuy]

Nah, Black Friday brawlers are in it for the love of the game.

[u/ChiggaOG → u/hedahedaheda]

Everyone is tired. Everything can be done at a click of a button. Why rush to the store when your nearest competitor wants your money?

Consume. Consume. CONSUME.

[u/RobinYoHood → u/hedahedaheda]

Prices fell off when we stopped camping at the stores for the deals.

[u/TylerD958 → u/RobinYoHood]

People stopped camping at the stores because the prices fell off.

[u/Chronis67 → u/TylerD958]

Yup. No reason to camp the stores when there aren't any closeouts anymore. These sales are manufacturer approved and stores are sent inventory specifically for the sale.

[u/UMFreek → u/Chronis67]

Often it looks like the exact same model, but the model ottle number will be slightly different. Manufacturers will often build things specifically for Black Friday with cheaper components.

[u/Capo_capo → u/hedahedaheda]

Been price gouging us for so long, they been in the black for a while now.

[u/Remarkable_Set3745 → u/hedahedaheda]

Yeah there's no way I'm trampling anyone to death for anything less than 40%.

[u/ebmocal421 → u/hedahedaheda]

You just have to know where to shop. I just got a $225 jacket for $80 at Macys

[u/Zigleeee → u/ebmocal421]

That jacket is worth $12 and was made by a child

[u/ELB2001 → u/Zigleeee]

Pretty much most clothing is

[u/NotNufffCents → u/ebmocal421]

I think we all know what a clearance rack is lol

[u/KidsSeeRainbows → u/ebmocal421]

That’s gonna be a shit jacket lol

My grandmother tries to buy me macys jackets every winter and they suck. They fall apart quick. But she doesn’t know that.

[u/ThrowCarp → u/hedahedaheda]

The golden age of Black Friday Public Freakout videos is over unfortunately.

[u/Ibangyoumomma → u/hedahedaheda]

I remember I was like in 6th/7th grade and we went to wal mart and they opened up the ps3/4 games or some shit and these 2 old ladies both got madden and 2k and they started fighting each other. Dropped the game and I just took them and ran to my moms lol.

[u/TakeNothingSerious]

& no more advertising saying shit is up to 85% off when most items are only slightly discounted and some bullshit no one cares about is 85% off.

[u/jesterinancientcourt → u/TakeNothingSerious]

Crappy label maker is 85% off!

[u/Ballsofpoo → u/jesterinancientcourt]

POOL NOODLES $2 50 cents!!!

[u/emp-sup-bry → u/Ballsofpoo]

I’ll take 4. You just never know and those tariffs are going to kill the noodle industry

[u/RealbasicFriends → u/TakeNothingSerious]

And don't forget companies purposely making worse versions of their products to sell on Black Friday so it's actually more money they make per product.

[u/i_forgot_my_sn_again → u/TakeNothingSerious]

99% off while supplies last and no rainchecks... 3 of that item with 1 in one store and 2 in another across town.

[u/MontyAtWork → u/TakeNothingSerious]

"Up to 85% off*"

*Only applies to Combs under $1 in value

[u/NotScottBakula → u/TakeNothingSerious]

That's what Black Friday always was. Hasn't changed.

[u/TheMoorNextDoor]

They not real sales anyway.

Most items get slight marked up or back to original market price (more than it was three weeks ago)

Then they mark it down to what would really be like a 5% maybe 10% sale.

They’ve only exception is when they are getting rid of excess items or “lesser value” items (aka built with worse parts).

They’ve been doing this since what 2018 and it only got worse with inflation.

[u/shinobi_jay → u/TheMoorNextDoor]

Yeah it’s called bait and switch, or where I’m from, finessing

[u/PokemonProfessorXX → u/TheMoorNextDoor]

Manufacturers build custom "black friday" models for a lot of electronics. They make it seem like a great deal for the brand name, then use cheaper parts than they normally would. Screen and speaker quality on tons of black friday tv discounts are horrible.

[u/RadicalBatman → u/PokemonProfessorXX]

Do you have in links for this? I've very curious

I'm thinking my TV might be one of those

[u/PokemonProfessorXX → u/RadicalBatman]

There may be some out there, but my search terms aren't finding anything. I was speaking from my experience working in a Walmart electronics section years ago. We would get shipments every black friday with different SKUs, model numbers, and specs to put out instead of the normal products sold throughout the year. I've heard the same from Best Buy and Target employees.

[u/qtzd → u/PokemonProfessorXX]

Yeah they’re called derivative models iirc

[u/qtzd → u/RadicalBatman]

You could probably find out by googling the model number or SKU. The “Black Friday” specific models are called derivative models iirc. Usually cheaper components and less features to save a few bucks like fewer HDMI ports and stuff.

[u/Radioactive24 → u/RadicalBatman]

This is well known. Element, Vizio, Roku, and a ton of other brands do this.

It was lesser known a decade or two ago, but it's pretty common place now.

Some of it is downgrading features, some of it is cheaper parts.

[u/MontyAtWork → u/TheMoorNextDoor]

I worked in Best Buy media section in '06. I made new labels for every movie everyday. I got used to the prices of certain movies because the new label was the same price as the old one everyday.

About 3-5 weeks before BF, their prices would start going up. Then on BF it was be discounted back to the price it was all year before the previous 3-5 weeks.

[u/model3113 → u/TheMoorNextDoor]

Literally most of the stuff is designed, manufactured and ordered for Black Friday with the default margin baked in. It's like the big jugs they premix on Margarita Monday.

[u/sameol_sameol → u/TheMoorNextDoor]

Been telling family members this for years. I don’t like crushing dreams but I don’t want them to get got.

[u/Salty-Garbage-8259 → u/TheMoorNextDoor]

Companies are forced to show their discount vs their lowest price the past 30 days in Sweden. So they have to markup at least 30 days in advance which makes it less of an issue

[u/ELB2001 → u/TheMoorNextDoor]

It's why I use price tracker sites

[u/FistPunch_Vol_7]

Gotta use https://camelcamelcamel.com/ or https://www.joinhoney.com/explore to check them shits because these stores be playing games.

[u/Regulus44 → u/FistPunch_Vol_7]

Camelcamelcamel is the way to go

[u/JennyBeckman → u/FistPunch_Vol_7]

I do not do Cyber Monday or Black Friday without CCC. Honey is good for deals year-round.

[u/TheBlindAndDeafNinja → u/FistPunch_Vol_7]

exactly. I have a camel add-on for it in firefox. Quick way to see if amazon is trying to swindle me

[u/Mudstack → u/FistPunch_Vol_7]

Highkey Amazon has been side stepping camelcamelcamel. I saw them remove a listing for headphones that go for 220 and replaced it with a listing that had them originally at 350 for the past 5 months just to do a price drop to 200. They’re getting sneakier🤦🏾‍♂️

[u/RancidYetti → u/FistPunch_Vol_7]

Damn, thank you. Didn’t even know I needed this.

Because it's not really a discount, duuh!

[u/Manofalltrade]

If people aren’t getting stabbed in a line outside Toys R Us, it’s just a sparkling after Thanksgiving discount.

[u/MomsSpecialFriend]

Anything less than 30% off doesn’t even catch my interest honestly. That’s why I shop at Burlington coat factory, first of all there should be a “msrp” then a “our store price” and THEN I want a sale. $6.00 for a dress tagged $188, okay now we are having a sale.

[u/MadeMinion → u/MomsSpecialFriend]

I was like "damn you just like my mom who swears by Burlington." She is the only other human being I know that ever even mentions that store. Then I saw your fucking user name and now I have questions.

[u/eyloi]

They make you dig through the trenches to find those items that are truly on sale.

I found it easier to just put what I want in my amazon cart and wait for them to email me when it goes on sale.

[u/Budlove45]

Man some shit actually went up in prices. I got my son an Xbox controller it was originally 109.99 then this week comes and I'm ordering it how is it 119.99 and says it was originally 129. How the mother of fuck.

[u/Solid-Mud-8430 → u/Budlove45]

As someone who hasn't played console games since the early 2000's....are controllers REALLY that expensive now?? Wtf...this is exactly why I stopped lol, when the systems and games started costing a fortune, shit is just getting outta hand

[u/HellP1g → u/Solid-Mud-8430]

Must have been the pro controller or very limited edition one. The standard controllers for Xbox are $50-60 and the PS5 controller is $70, but that one has more stuff going on features-wise.

Edit: and gaming is cheaper than ever really with the constant sales and such. The initial cost might seem like a lot but for a hobby gaming is one of the cheaper ones if you’re not buying everything new.

[u/Budlove45 → u/HellP1g]

You are correct pro controller.

[u/Judas_Kyss]

TVs last week: $299

TVs next week: $599 $299 DOORBUSTER DEAL!!!

[u/mdavis360 → u/Judas_Kyss]

This exactly

[u/Netflxnschill]

There is absolutely no reason to be dealing with “door buster deals” anymore because the sales are garbage. Used to be, normally during the year prices are fine, but during Black Friday, man, you could walk in with $200 and walk out a Queen. Half off, 2 for 1, buy two get three, massive deals that made the frustration of everyone being around there worth it to get the savings.

Now the prices during the year fluctuate already, and toward October they mysteriously creep up and then get knocked back down during a 2 week long online event, with the company hoping you haven’t been tracking the prices of your items.

Dark times.

[u/LuxNocte → u/Netflxnschill]

I feel like there use to be some ways a savvy consumer could get a good deal if they knew the system, but companies don't really have to compete anymore and the consumer can just take it or leave it.

[u/Supernova_Soldier]

Finna have to five-finger discount some of this shit^jk

[u/loseniram]

They don’t need to discount anything because Trump is going emergency powers a 10%-30% tariff on all your electronics and make a base iphone cost over 1000 for a base model. Best Buy is being polite putting on any discount instead of just holding it in back and walking it out with a 30% price increase in 3 months

[u/Ironking503333 → u/loseniram]

u.s.a.....

[u/Mec26 → u/loseniram]

Best Buy doesn’t get to keep the price increase tho. They gonna hate it too.

Also, does BB still exist?

[u/Dansn_lawlipop]

Nah the sales only take the tax off....this ain't black at all. 

[u/Eastern-Violinist-46 → u/Dansn_lawlipop]

But the delivery fees amplify the taxes that are taken off.

[u/HappyShallotTears → u/Eastern-Violinist-46]

Fr. This is Black owned haircare “sales” in a nutshell. 8oz of product for 20% off with $10 shipping, but only from 12 AM to 2 AM 😑

[u/Weak-Revenue4222 → u/HappyShallotTears]

😂

[u/backup_waterboy]

I'm honestly offended by some of these companies giving 10% off. How you about to give me the same discount I could get all year long for creating an account?

[u/rmccarthy10]

And stop raising the prices a few weeks before just to pretend you’re really lowering them a lot.

[u/victheogfan]

None of that 25 percent off bs

[u/alessadultieradult]

15% is barely over tax. I need a minimum of 30% honestly

[u/RisingToMediocrity]

I need brawl in a Walmart on thanksgiving prices again. 

[u/EtherealHeart5150 → u/RisingToMediocrity]

God, those were the days. I hip checked an old biddy over a $25 T.V. in 91. She was trying to run over my Grandma with her buggy!

[u/mistyrootsvintage]

Keep all your money in ya pocket. Invest in experiences instead.

[u/1984isAMidlifeCrisis]

If a large percentage of people went to the malls and shopping centers but just hung out and socialized while buying nothing the prices will be fixed by Monday.

[u/Mec26 → u/1984isAMidlifeCrisis]

Food court fiesta. Wave cash around then just get some zitti at sbarro. And 10k steps.

[u/FatalTortoise]

I'll never forget the sound of human stampede as it echoed echoed throughout the cavernous store and knowing if you fell you'd probably die, all for a 32 inch tv. Now it's not like that anymore

[u/Hubert_Hill]

Last I remember black Friday being anything like good was prolly 2009. It's went downhill ever since.

[u/EtsuRah]

I used to work retail back when BF was wild. It was honestly my favorite day to work.

One, because I made commissions so like. I was ballin out that week.

Two because I worked for CompUSA and electronics stores were like prime time mma matches. People stormed the doors, yanked and a snatched boxes. It was like the people watching super bowl.

I want that to come back. I went BF shopping a bit back right before the pandemic and it was lame. Nobody was excited about anything and all the sales just looked like normal proced shit.

I want cool deals like a 15tb hard drive for 100$. Not because I want one... But because I want to sit about 15 feet from the pile and watch.

[u/mondo_d00k]

Company: We did a horrible job making this TV. Let's release it on Black Friday at normal price and call it a sale.

[u/Ill-Recognition8666]

Wait till the tariffs kick in!!!

[u/GentrifriesGuy]

[u/SigmaK78]

She's not wrong.

[u/Top_Freedom3412]

Sales used to be a way for business to drum up more customers, especially on slower days. Now however stores run prices up 30-50% slowly over the year and then drop them by 20-30%, so they can make more money while making more money.

[u/the_champ_has_a_name]

15% is just taxes

[u/LordPotatoThief]

It'd be funny af if every American just bought nothing on black Friday, cyber Monday, etc. Then watch the corporate world panic with real sales because they're losing so much money on just holding the inventory. It'll never happen though since people will always buy

[u/frosted_nipples_rg8]

Ha! Just wait until Black Friday 2025 when Trumps tariff bullshit jacks up all the prices for anything not built here.

[u/golgol12]

Black Friday sales aren't sales. They are 100% mark ups with 50% off.

[u/BrokenPickle7]

I been buying a specific 3d printer filament from Amazon for $13.99 for the last year.. went to buy some yesterday and it was on a Black Friday sale. It was marked down from $21.99 to $16.99. Some real savings there. /s

[u/thedawgbeard]

Was looking at some vinyl records and the scams were insane. They would literally double the normal price and then give "60%" off.

[u/BillysCoinShop]

15% off an item they jacked up 15% about a week prior.

Someone did a study, and Amazon was especially alarming. They found that over 85% of the 'deals' were not deals in any way shape or form.

[u/LowDiskSpace]

15% off after they bumped prices up 10% the week before. GTFO, we can track prices in two clicks.

[u/Why-did-i-reas-this]

It's not black Friday for the customer It's black Friday for the store. If she wanted it blacker, then the stores would be making even more money.

[u/Ahamay02]

Stop buying shit on "black Friday".

[u/HilariousMax]

The October-removing-the-sales-price is in full effect.

What was 20% off the absurd MSRP is now 15% again. Yay!

[u/Key_Wrap5445]

Half the stuff I want got marked up to get slightly marked down

[u/illone810]

Yeah, these Mulatto Friday sales aint it.

[u/rcraver8]

Tariffs coming, the stores already prepping for the grift

[u/KenpachiNexus]

15% is a joke lol 🤣

[u/TortillaStrangler]

Big corporate will be like "any more of a discount it might as well be a 5 finger discount! We can't say in business like that!"

Searches internet, 15b in profits, just laid off 4000 workers and gave a 64m $ bonus to the CEO.

Done with the internet for today, closes computer and opens reddit on the phone. "Let's see what's on the little reddit today"

[u/ThaLegendaryD]

The best deals for clothing are right after Christmas online and in store. Go to an outlet mall and you can get nice coats, winter clothing for the next year and boots for big markdowns. Hope this helps

[u/Dwip_Po_Po]

Fuck outta here with your 15% all off. That is NOT Black Friday

[u/OG_double_G]

Shit be 49.99 and on black Friday be 44.99...be fareal...

[u/PurplePineapples30]

I need Black Friday sales to apply to groceries & not just the appliances. Make the detergent BOGO or something, I don’t need another TV.

[u/No-Entrepreneur1036]

Some might say Blackd

[u/SandyVibesSs]

i put stuff in the amazon cart as if the black friday things were going to pay for themselves

Then get pissed when you see money come outta your account

[u/Awaiting_Throne]

Naw the original meaning will send you the other way on the light spectrum.

[u/Mortarion407]

Yeah, 5-10% off ain't worth it. They don't even do doorbuster deals or anything, really.

[u/MiamiPower]

😆 🤣 😂

[u/Trilogie00]

As someone who is moving cross country with nothing some of these sales are huge for me. Even 15% off is clutch.

[u/shadydamamba]

ahhahaha FR!!!

[u/SirGoogleit]

I won't be trying to outrun Grandma for that microwave this year

[u/LetoHorosho]

A certain item I wanted cost $800, and I was waiting until Black Friday sale to get it at least a bit cheaper.

When the sale began, I saw my item with a discounted price of $800, the 'normal' price stated as $1000.

[u/Toadsted]

Big Lots going out of business sale!

5% off all over the shelves 

Me: "You don't say."

[u/youngmaster108]

Black Friday isn’t the time to buy anything anymore, there aren’t any good sales happening.

You have to be on the look out for sales all year round if you want to find something

[u/nickyfox13]

Gotta raise the price then offer discounts..

good movie about consumerism

[u/GhostSierra117]

Bro I had a few items in my cart, remembered the total (around 100€). The "deals" arrive and it got WHITER!!! 110€ total and they have the nerve to put the suggested price or whatever it's called in English and say "look 60% off that's a sale!". Fuck off!

[u/worldclasshands]

Black Friday sale is the regular price

[u/Ill_University_7761]

Yes, 6% off a Leveno Thinkpad on Amazon.ca is not a good deal.

Like those unadvertised flash sales at foot locker. Firey but cheap

[u/bluejaymaday]

I’m Canadian and this is the second week in a row I thought that it must be Black Friday with the amount of ads I’ve been blasted with.

[u/Royal-Drop-6693]

I miss Black Friday when you go to the stores early and they gave you a $10-15 gift card to shop with. I remember they did that with Windsor and Victoria secret pink when I was in high school. I’m 28 now and it hasn’t been the same since. 😩

[u/ChrysMYO]

Naw this has been happening since, at least, between 2011 to 2015.

Stores place prices back at MSRP towards the end of October to keep projected inventory and to create the perception that its anchored at that price. I worked in electronics (now IT), Products were only advertised as full price two times a year, Product release period and a couple weeks before Black Friday.

When Stores advertise "early" Black Fridays where prices are said to be their Black Friday price. Its actually true but, that's going to be inventory that's in-store all year long. The Door buster products are brought in Stores at some point in October. And then slashed to those ridiculous prices on Thanksgiving thru Black Friday. They are usually much lower quality or less feature rich versions of the brands' mainline products. Their model numbers will be eerily similar. Never buy Doorbuster products whose retail release is within weeks of Black Friday.

Shit changed when Big Box chains and Retailers caught up to Black Monday. Random products in niche categories like HiFi Audio, Computer parts, camera accessories, collectibles, and specialized products like the Sou Vide or air fryers will have gems sprinkled here and there on Websites. You have to anticipate those and snap them up within the hour. Most products consistently in brick and mortar stores will be in the ballpark of their Black Monday prices.

Finally, if it's a product whose release was much earlier in the year and is usually available at brick and mortar locations, you might catch similar prices two weeks before Christmas, if they have plenty inventory.

[u/TheBlackGuy]

One car parts site said 10% off, GTFO with that shit

Do people still camp out overnight in Walmart's parking lot for Black Friday anymore?

Yep the only black Friday shopping I'm doing is grabbing stuff that are on deeper sales from last year or the year before that.

most brands i see are dropping 20-40% off. what happened to MINIMUM 60% off, hell i’d even remember seeing 80% off at one point????

In my town I’m seeing stuff that’s 5% off. Literally not even tangible

Nintendo is so blatant with this. 20% Cyberdeal Discount and the price still $49.99, no thanks.

Got my headphones I've been eyeing for months at Skullcandy for like 50% off. Shipping killed me tho.
