What is there to be thankful on a Black Friday when the focus is on shopping? Sale. Sale, Sale. Signs on the windows displayed 20 to 70 percent mark down.
With the discounted prices still the sale is expensive since goods are 300% marked up. Besides, most of the items are made in China.
Thank goodness for “Made in China or PRC” tags, it deters me from further shopping.
Spending not a single cent makes me feel so rich.
Downtown scene is littered with people. I ended up people watching instead of shopping.
My eyes caught a sign “food for traveler, please” besides a woman.
She is clean-looking, reading a book at the corner of the building, braided hair and a nose ring. Her appearance is healthy and the type that does not eat anything that moves.
I asked: “Do you like rice crackers, all natural and no artificial flavoring?” showing her the whole package.
Beaming with a smile, she softly said thank you and gratefully accepted the rice cakes.
Another good day for an offer not turned down.
Thanks to the human heart by which we live,
Thanks to its tenderness, its joys, and fears.
To me the meanest flower that blows can give
Thoughts that do often lie too deep for tears
~ William Wordsworth
One of the reasons why I don’t do Black Friday shopping it is caos out there. I might even start a new tradition kind of what you did in this on Black Friday give food out to people who need it the most.
I like your offers much better than the shops’. 😀
If it wasn’t accepted , all for me. Yum😂
How Much Is That Doggie In The Window by Patti Page, early 1950’s
Oh, Yah. I’ll go play it in YouTube right now. Woof
That was fun! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2AkLE4X-bbU

What is the dog in the window about? Was he someone’s pet inside that shop?
I agree with you on the shopping thing, no way will you catch me out there on Black Friday. How people can trample each other for a bargain is pretty awful.
The dog, who knows. I did not go inside the shop. Black Friday stemmed from USA. It isn’t a big thing here in Canada. The news covered many injuries in this event.
I pray the dog was the shop owners or something. He looked well and he has tags on, so that is a good sign. Injuries, that’s awful! So, Canada is now doing Black Friday also every year?
Do pray. It does and it is no big deal.
