Heya playas, are you ready to give up valuable time with your family on Thanksgiving to save
lots and lots of money?
If you are, get ready cause it's Black Friday!
(This is The Josh Speaks.
You're watching The Josh Speak).
Black Friday is the day after Thanksgiving.
It's a day that everyone drops everything that they're doing to go buy useless junk
that they don't really need.
And from what I hear, Black Friday sales are starting at 6PM this year.
Way to ruin Thanksgiving guys!
After looking up random statistics I found online, Black Friday is the fourth biggest
shopping day of the year.
That's right, the fourth.
Black Friday falls behind the three days before Christmas but what makes Black Friday so amazing
is that people go crazy about it.
And in order to protect yourself from those crazy people I'm gonna give you some tips
on how to prepare for Black Friday.
Number 1, create a plan and plot your route of attack.
Treat Black Friday like it's the apocalypse.
As if everyone's lining up in the stores to grab the last of the supplies to survive or
else they'll be vanquished off this earth.
Make sure to get there early, even if that means bringing your own grill and turkey to
wait outside of Best Buy just so you can be first in line to get that big screen tv that
you don't really need.
It's fine if you want to wait till Black Friday to get certain deals on different things,
I'm cool with that, but lets not overlook the fact that Black Friday shopping is very
similar to an apocalypse.
During an apocalypse, and we're talking about the end of the world here it makes sense that
people would trample all over each other just to preserve their well being.
On Black Friday, I'm not so sure about that.
Number two, prepare your battle gear.
Come equipped with everything you need tents, sleeping bags, lawn chairs, batons, rifles,
tasers, and anything else you need to protect yourself from this zombie invasion.
Listen, only the first ten people are gonna have access to that big screen tv.
And if that means you gotta have sex with a random stranger just to cut in line, do
what you gotta do man.
I ain't judging you, nothing wrong with having sex with a random stranger.
Number three, plan for buyers remorse.
If you end up getting there late you might force yourself to buy something just because
you're there.
And there's nothing worse than showing up late and being the 100th person in line just
so you can buy A Cinderella Story and Blankman for 2 dollars each.
I mean, you're not stupid for missing that chance to get $400 off that washing machine,
you're just a loser.
And even if you get to the store late and miss the sale, don't worry about it.
These evil corporations are going to offer the same exact deals in less than 20 days.
But the most important tip is to pursue the safest route which is online shopping.
Didn't get what you want?
That's ok, because when you come home after waiting five days in the freezing cold to
go shopping Amazon and NewEgg will have the exact same deal.
Ain't that the truth, I went to Best Buy a few years ago to wait online to go buy a 2TB
hard drive and when I got home I saw it on NewEgg for a cheaper price.
I hope my Black Friday tips will motivate you on your journey to spend money on things
that you don't need.
That last comment was a bit sarcastic, but if you want to see my thoughts on consumerism
in general check out this video right here.
I talk about buying things and why YOU'RE the problem.
But before I go, I want to know what has been your best or worst Black Friday shopping experience.
If you had any horror stories leave it in the comment section below.
Black Friday in general is great for business but bad for people.
It makes us so focused on the consumerism in this world that it takes us away from the
true meaning of life.
As always guys, love and peace.
