Fair comment.

Let's face it - why would it be in any business's interest to offer anything at a reduced price - unless they're unable to sell enough of the things at the price they usually charge?

After all, they're running a business - and the most important objective of any business is likely to be generating a profit.

As for me, I've only knowingly bought one item in a "Black Friday sale" - something which I would have needed to buy even if this sale had never happened. I probably managed to avoid spending something like a few pence I otherwise wouldn't have spent - and I count myself lucky.

I did too - I didn't buy anything.
