Americans aren’t getting Black Friday deals this year.
All the increased prices of tariffs and uncertainty, nobody is going to run a sale worth jack.
Only on Trump Brands and the price tags will say:
REDUCED!
$45.47$55.45$48*
86
I mean, no one runs many sales worth jack shit anyhow. They offer the “door busters” which like 20 people per store get and then everything else is either barely reduced or some cheaply made shit that won’t last until the next black friday. I participated in that dog and pony show like twice and that was my experience. So yeah, this year it’ll be even more laughable.
Red Friday for everybody!!!
Joke is Black Friday deals are more expensive than other times of the year.
You ain’t even getting cheap TVs. 100 people might get one (as a loss leader), the thousands others overpay or are getting shite they’re trying to get rid of.
That’s one of the things I felt Honey did well is show you how much something cost for the last 6 months when you’re on the product page. You could see that they whacked the price up a week before black Friday to show you a “50% Off!” banner.
In the EU, the 30 day price history is required to be included by law
There are other services that do that, Pricerunner for example
pricerunner is owned by Klarna, use pricespy or camelcamelcamel
What exactly is wrong with Klarna (besides the fact it’s a fintech company)? It started popping up as an option recently whenever I buy something online.
Conflict of interest.
Which has a different view of this in the UK:

You should have laws against that
Michael Hill advertised a “Member Event 25% off Sitewide” sale on its website, implying that all products sitewide were discounted by 25% for members, when some products were not discounted.
MyHouse promoted their sale with ads stating “Up to 60% OFF RRP EVERYTHING ON SALE“, followed by “+EXTRA 20% OFF”. The ACCC considered this misleading as the additional 20% off did not apply to all products.
Hairhouse Online’s “SAVE 20% to 50% SITEWIDE” promotion was misleading because more than a quarter of the products available on its website were excluded from the sale offer.
Ensure discount claims are genuine: Only advertise discounts where products have been genuinely offered at the higher price for a meaningful period. Avoid creating artificially inflated “was” prices solely to support discount claims. This also applies to displaying the RRP price next to a discounted price – if the product has not recently been sold at the RRP price, this could be misleading.
Document pricing decisions: Maintain records of previous pricing to support any discount claims and demonstrate compliance with ACL requirements.
