Black Friday Disgust

[Klayton]

New form of class warfare. We buy it (on sale if lucky)they steal it(when they want to). So much for working hard an saving money to get those things to have fun or get by with. I'm with MB time to start doubling down on pep money an goods.

Didn't you hear Hussein? "It's better if we spread YOUR money around for everybody."

I did go out, wife wanted that TV in Wally's flyer, got to store, THEY ONLY HAD 4 PER STORE and my store one lady bought 2 of them. LMAO the saleman said all 4 were sold in 30 seconds after the sale started. I couldn't stop laughing at how "underhanded" wally is to have only 4 of the biggest sale item at each store. Anyways, picked up new hard case for wife's new AR. Bought 750rds of bulk 9mm (for wife), 250rds of 45 (for me), and 300rds of 12ga 7 1/2 shot. All and all I still went home with a smile on my face. Even though I didnt get the mrs her new tv.

One person was shot and robbed after purchasing the items just as when this last video game was released recently. So even if you win the battle in the store your fight may just have begun when it comes to a bag of rice or whatever.
It's a sad senerio that is deeds supposed to be done in the name of CHRIST!

It is disgusting MB. My wife and I were on the verge of going out, she wanted to get a couple items for the boys and I wanted to video tape idiots. But we found out there will be waaaay better deals online over the next month.

In the town I used to live in, a lot of my friends went out to the wally world and target and kohls and toys r us and didnt see much mayhem. Everyone was respectful to say the least. But, at the Wally World a fist fight did break out over some coffee makers. Now imagine in the PAW, over a bag of rice. When I broke this scenario down for my wife and the few people that I am getting on the prepping bandwagon, they realized how bad it could get.

People have lost it and I dont think they are ever going to find it.

Anyone watching the new in the last 24 hours can't help but have heard about the violence, rioting, and general mayhem surrounding the sales. I remember going to these sales 20 years ago and having fun, now it would take something very serious to get me out of the house on Black Friday.

Just watching the surge of people trying to buy a TV or an XBox is beyond my understanding. You take you life in your hands.

While watching this I couldn't help but imagine my local grocery store, or Sams, or Costcos if the SHTF. Fighting such a crowd would be almost impossible.

This is a lesson for stocking up NOW! For planning and implementing a food storage program that includes buying something every single month to put away.

Economically, things are really very very scary. American's may not be in the mood to hear it, but terrible times are coming. Watching the stock market and the European situation, anyone who isn't worried is a fool.

I plan on seriously doubling my monthly prepping budget. I can certainly do without a fancy lunch, or dinner out, or movie tickets now so that those I love can eat later.

Food for thought.
