Car Enthusiast Bankrupted by Black Friday Sales Insists, 'But if You Think About It, I Actually Saved a Ton of Money!"
November 27, 2023

"...These deals won't come around ever again! Well, until next year but that's like forever."

LOS ANGELES—This Black Friday, car enthusiast, Mark Thompson, found himself in an unexpected financial predicament after succumbing to irresistible sales. The aftermath of his shopping spree left his bank account teetering on the brink of bankruptcy, yet Thompson insists that his extravagant purchases were, in fact, a smart financial decision.


Thompson, who had nearly zero need for more car parts, started considering performance parts he had been eyeing for months because of all the sales. Little did he anticipate the irresistible allure of the discounts and deals that awaited him on his web browser. His initial intention to 'take a quick look' rapidly escalated into a full-blown shopping spree, encompassing everything from high-end detailing kits to state-of-the-art supercharger systems.


Thompson's shopping cart overflowed with automotive treasures with complete disregard for the dwindling zeros in his bank account. Despite the growing concern for his financial well-being, Thompson remained unfazed, confidently asserting, "Sure, my bank account might be hurting right now, but if you think about it, I actually saved a ton of money! These deals won't come around ever again! Well, until next year but that's like forever."


Financial experts may raise an eyebrow at Thompson's rationale, but he stands firm in his belief that the slashed prices and exclusive Black Friday discounts were too good to pass up. His now ex-wife quipped, "It's like he's playing some advanced game of financial chess that we can't comprehend. Where winning the game means losing everything? I don't know, I'm out."


While Thompson's bank account may tell a different story, his unyielding conviction in the savings garnered during this Black Friday escapade is a testament to the persuasive power of holiday sales. As the dust settles on his spending spree, one can't help but wonder if Thompson's unique perspective on savings will catch on or if he's simply a car enthusiast caught up in the excitement of Black Friday deals. Only time will tell if his extravagant purchases of things he absolutely didn't even need, prove to be a wise investment or a cautionary tale for future bargain hunters.
