Ep. 549: A Never-Ending Black Friday — The Best Life Podcast

Is it just us, or is Black Friday out of control now? Less than 10 years ago, Black Friday was a one-day event where you’d slap a bitch at Walmart for taking the last flat-screen TV you wanted. Now, the entire month of November (and even into December!) we’re getting inundated with emails and texts and ads about every little thing you could ever dream of being on sale. We love buying things as much as the next person, but didn’t Black Friday start as a way to buy gifts for other people, and not ourselves? And aren’t you starting to feel suffocated by all this shit we keep buying?
