Recommended Videos
Merry Thanksgiving, everyone! (And by “everyone,” I mean those in the US; happy Thursday to everyone else.) It’s on this, the holiest of days, that we remember the Pilgrims that selflessly died so that we may pursue our god-given right to frenzied capitalism and cheap electronics (sort of).
We’ve posted a lot of Black Friday deals over the past few weeks, and it’s tough to remember what each one entailed. Why don’t we go ahead and recap with the highlights of each ad from the major retailers? If nothing else, it’ll get you a few minutes away from your great-aunt Sally and that awful conversation about sweaters or whatever it is she’s droning on about.
