Real Life Adventures by Gary Wise and Lance Aldrich for November 29, 2013

Ironically, all their (increasingly) early sales are actually hurting their bottom lines. The retailers have turned one day of loss leaders into several days – and in some cases nearly a full month of deep price cuts to get people in the doors. Problem is, they’re selling at a loss.

I 100% REFUSE to set foot in any store on Black Friday. I do all my Christmas shopping the first two weeks of November so I don’t have to fight the crowds.

you have caught my wife in action!!!

I finished my holiday shopping a half-hour ago.

In my bathrobe, online.

Now for some breakfast pie.
