Ho ho ho, 
merry early November—because apparently Black Friday STILL can't wait until after we've stuffed our faces with turkey, am I right? Is Black friday even still a "Thing" in 2025 ?? Last year, some sneaky deal-hunter beat me to starting this thread, but not this time—I'm claiming my spot early in 2025 and not having any of that!
What a bunch of yawn-inducing "deals" we've got so far, folks. The retailers are stretching this *** out like a bad one-night stand, and the savings? About as satisfying as a limp handshake—or worse, if you catch my drift.
The "best" ones I've spotted? Target's got 40% off pajamas for the whole family—wow, because nothing screams doorbuster like discounted flannel that'll see more action on the couch than in the bedroom. Or how about 40% off select holiday décor? Groundbreaking! Deck the halls with overpriced plastic that's barely marked down enough to justify the hangover from holiday shopping. And 40% off LEGO? Sure, build something exciting while the real deals stay hidden like a bad secret. Don't forget their up to 50% off select toys like Barbie or Hot Wheels—because nothing says "savings" like half off the stuff your kids will break in a week, if you can even find the good ones in stock.
Over at Walmart, the previews are dropping like a lukewarm hot chocolate. Their Black Friday Event 1 kicks off November 14-16 with gems like a Dewalt ATOMIC 20V MAX Cordless Brushless 1/2 in. drill—ooh, get your power tools revved up for... what, exactly? Or the Eddie Bauer Heavyweight Full Zip Hoodie for $14.99, which is basically the same as saying "stay warm while regretting not holding out for better." And don't forget the Super7 Super Cyborg Batman figure—because who doesn't need more plastic heroes when the savings feel villainous? How about that KONG Classic Stuffable Dog Chew Toy down from $13.99 to $11.96? My furry friend is howling with indifference—two bucks off, groundbreaking! The Philips Norelco 7200 Electric Razor at $79.96? Apparently the same price it's been on Amazon for weeks—thanks for the "exclusive" Black Friday magic, you teases!
Sure, there's a 98" TCL QLED TV for $998 (down from $1,798), but let's be real, that's probably the only thing not disguised as a regular Tuesday sale, and even then, the Google TV platform has folks bitching about it being a letdown. Oh, and a Keurig Iced Essentials for $44.97 (was $79)? Brew your own disappointment at home for slightly less—because who needs real coffee when you can pod your way to mediocrity? Or the Dyson V12 Detect Slim Vacuum at $399.99 (from $729)? Still highway robbery for something that just sucks... dirt, that is. And a Barbie Malibu Travel Playset for $12 (was $21.88)? Nine bucks off more plastic that'll end up underfoot—parental joy!
Sam's Club isn't faring much better with their month-long "savings" tease from November 7 to December 1. A $50 Panera Bread eGift card for $39.98? Damn, $10 off on carbs—call the kink club, we've got a hot deal here! Membership required, of course, because why not add a little exclusivity to your underwhelming sandwich savings? And a 40" Vizio TV for $128, which slickdealers are already pointing out is beat by Best Buy's $99 doorbuster—talk about getting screwed on pixels.
Will we see hordes trampling each other in stores again, or has everyone wised up and stayed home for these half-markdowns? There'll never be a better Black Friday than that 2010 Lowe's Facebook frenzy—90% off coupons, double-dipping on water heaters, and salty commenters losing their minds over our hauls. Ah, the good ol' days before "Black November" turned everything into a diluted drip-feed of disappointments.
Anyway, spill the tea—tell us how awful this BF is shaping up in 2025! What's the lamest "deal" you've seen so far?
