I will say Black Friday has changed over the years, you guys. If you remember, back in the

day before the internet, you lined up in the freezing cold at the store. Now, I never did

this, but my cousins did. I mean, I had a lot of people in my life that did Black Friday

shopping. And now, you know, some people still go in person, just for the lot of people in my life that did Black Friday shopping. And now,

you know, some people still go in person just for the nostalgia of it. And some deals are only in person, but also online is your friend as well. But regardless of wherever you are shopping,

these are going to help. So number one, I always ask myself, do I really need that item? Or am I experiencing a little bit of FOMO? You know, like I mentioned earlier, it feels like Black Friday is something that you just do. Like you participate in. As an American, this is what we do. But in reality, you may not need to purchase a bunch of new stuff. You really may not. And yeah, maybe you just say, you know, I'm going to just browse and look,

but then you get sucked into the deals, you get sucked into it all. So listen, just make sure your

intentions are good. Like if you know ahead of time that you want to buy something, that's great,

but don't feel like you have to participate if you don't need stuff. All right, number two,

make sure online sales are actually sales. So my friend

George Camel Camel Camel.com. No affiliation with George Camel. It's a C camel. George is a

K. They're not connected at all, but it is called Camel Camel Camel.com. And it tracks Amazon

prices and sales. because if you're not

careful, Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales, they're not really sale prices. Like they say like,

oh yeah, you're getting so much off, but you're really not. So if you can find other websites

to help track and know if you're actually getting a deal, that's helpful. Number three, take

advantage of Black Friday for big items. So if you are in the market for a new laptop or a TV or,

you know, I got my AirPods last, I think it was like maybe two years ago during a Black Friday sale.
