Did you take advantage of any deals today?

I went to McDonald’s for 2 free meals this morning because I was told December 1st or 4th is the last day you can use your monopoly piece food vouchers for free stuff. I do not know if this rule applies to the raffle draws, or if it applies to food prize claims as well. I then purchased more items so every one in my family could have McDonald’s for breakfast.

It's been shown that Black Friday deals are few and far between. Many companies have the same sale price for weeks before Black Friday, while others raise their prices in the months before Black Friday so that Black Friday looks like a deal, when it's really the price the company would normally sell the item for. And some label their normal price as a SALE price.

From a news item on Morning Brew ...

"The Washington Post’s Geoffrey A. Fowler compared the prices of 50 items he previously purchased on Amazon (like toys, printer toner, clothes, etc.) in the six months leading up to Prime Big Deal Days in October with their prices during the sale on Oct. 8. He found that if he had waited to buy those items during Prime Big Deal Days, he would have saved just 0.6%. Some items were even more expensive during the sale.

Similarly, Consumers’ Checkbook tracked popular sale items from 25 major retailers, and 12 of those retailers (including Bass Pro Shops, Gap, Michaels, and Wayfair) listed half of their items on sale for nearly 25 weeks straight."

I've seen the tv commercial about those deals, but I didn't go.

They'll have even more deals in December, because of the holidays.

That sounds like a clever way to enjoy breakfast with your family! Using those Monopoly vouchers is a smart move. I remember a time when I stumbled upon a deal at a local dim sum place. They had an early bird special, so we indulged in delicious dumplings and buns at a fraction of the price. It's always satisfying to make the most of such opportunities. Keep an eye out for more, as every culinary adventure brings its unique taste and flair. 🍔🍟
