Black Friday Sales have begun and so has the madness. Every year, the post-Thanksgiving weekend on the calendar is marked as a shopper's delight, what with heavy discounts, crazy price drops and reasonable offers crowding the market. A primarily American tradition, the popularity of Black Friday - which this year falls on November 26 - now extends beyond into other countries across the world as well.
Digital stores and e-commerce establishments have greatly bolstered the global culture of intercontinental festival celebrations, an upcoming example of which is Black Friday. From Africa to India to Australia, businesses are taking slices out of the pie to encourage sales around what is the busiest shopping time of the year in the United States.
Home appliances, technology and clothes have remained among the top popular sale items during Black Friday sales. Shoppers find savings are most profitable when investing in enduring objects of use. It's not as 'adult' as that though. Netizens flocking to social media to relay ideas of what they plan on buying this time around show that hoarding up on indulgences like scented candles that will probably never be lit and hauls of heels that will never be worn are still consumer favourite choices.
Here Are Some Things Women Have An Eye On, This Black Friday Sales Season

5. Makeup and beauty products, just for hoarding thrills
I've lived in pajamas for 2 years. I gotta take advantage of Black Friday sales and get some "going into the office clothes." Instead I'm buying more makeup.

6. Workout clothes are big in demand; (Has living for months in pyjamas left anyone with any gym motivation though?)

7. Dishwashers, among other appliances. This is good investment at lowered costs
Anyone see any Black Friday deals on appliances? I need a new dishwasher.

Many online are simultaneously drawing attention to the fact that small business owners may feel undue pressure to offer Black Friday sales, even without the capacity to do so. Netizens are showing solidarity with that section of sellers, telling them it is okay not to participate in massive price drops.
Dear small business owner,

Do not be pressured into offering Black Friday sales. If your business can’t afford it, it is okay.
