Black Friday spending surged this year to new highs, fueled by record-breaking online spending that reached $11.8 billion on Black Friday alone, according to market data.

Online sales made on Black Friday made up about 10% of total sales for the month of November, more than $111 billion dollars, according to Adobe Analytics’s report on holiday shopping trends. This represents a 9.1% increase in online sales compared to last year. Adobe tracks over 1 trillion U.S. retail site visits.   

Adobe predicts that the 2025 holiday season, which continues through Christmas, is poised to become the first quarter trillion dollar season online in U.S. history. The firm forecasts that a record $253.4 billion will be spent on online purchases this year.

Adobe Analytics said that Artificial Intelligence played a role in boosting traffic to online retail sites. AI traffic referrals increased massively–805% compared to last year.

Well, obviously the economy is doing fine.
Live in  harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all.

Our side hustle bidness did fantastic today.  We did better than pre-covid numbers.  People were out and spending.  Surprising thing was sales were 60% cash vs 40% on the credit cards. 

You don’t become cooler with age but you do care progressively less about being cool, which is the only true way to actually be cool.

Meh.

I am hard up against this season this year, looking for a TV for my bedroom. Ok, fifty bucks off of retail is something, I guess... But fifty bucks off of a 250 dollar machine (it's a 43"). well that ain't exactly burning a hole in my pocket.

Especially when that very same tv was 200 bucks 2 months ago.

I KNOW. The reason I am getting a new one for the bedroom is because I got a new one for the livingroom - a 55", as posted, which was in that range. I was thinking 100 bucks or so... Maybe a hunnert and a quarter.... It ain't that.  :shrug:

So like I said... I ain't likely to haul out my cash at that price.
