    There are benefits for those that can avoid getting sucked into the consumerism.

    We usually look for things we need (for the house, the dogs, etc.) and compare to normal price and sales during the year. Anything on its deepest discount during Black Friday sales we buy, and in large quantities to stretch our money.

    For example, I just bought a bunch of 12”bully sticks for ~$3.50/each and which is better than any other time of the year.

    We also like to shop the post holiday clearance, especially the shelf stable food items.

    The best way to ‘celebrate’ in my opinion is to identify the loss leaders stores have to draw people in and only buy those. Take advantage of the corporations.
