Black Friday Fallout

The Frenzy has begun

It’s the holiday season once again. And with the season comes holiday shopping. Black Friday 2022 started off with its usual bang as stores opened up at 6 a.m. for shoppers eager to score the best deals. Online retailers offered discounts as a prelude to Cyber Monday.

I spent a lion’s share of moola on a variety of goodies — clothing, jewelry, and shoes. I also started purchasing gifts for my friends and family. In the past couple of Christmas, I’ve made gifts for people. But my gift-making skills are still developing, so I’ve decided to focus on small gifts that are easy to create.

In the Coach store at the Burlington Mall, I found my dream bag. It was a Coach tote, large size, painted front and back with abstract graffiti. It's another artist collab by Coach. The first was with the Basquiat estate.

The bag cost $1,295.00 and after-tax it's 1.375.00 I want the bag. I tried Klarna but that didn’t work. So I tried to charge the bag to a card. I don't think it will go through. Maybe the bag just isn’t meant for me. I need to live within my wage.

I will dream of the bag til something more affordable comes along.
