Phew, the madness is over.
While we don’t live in the US and we don’t celebrate Thanksgiving (hope you had a great time with your families), we did have the dreaded Black Friday. Since it wasn’t enough to just ‘import’ the even from the US, many Romanian stores organized it on the 22th and then, seeing it was successful, again on the regular date.
For more than a week it was madness, as if we moved thousands of miles to the left, smack bang on the East Coast at least.
We both decided to ignore the event and save some money these days, especially since we couldn’t find any real need for us to buy discounted stuff. Anyway, we’ve been bombarded with countless articles and links, both on blogs and our Facebook accounts, to really annoy us to no end. Anyway .. happy it’s all over now and we can resume our normal lives.
In the personal finance blogosphere things were a tad quiet these days, with many bloggers enjoying quality time with their loved ones, but we can still find at least few articles you shouldn’t miss:
