Black Friday has become an all-out event for deal-hunters looking to snag the biggest savings of the year, but sometimes the “deals” aren’t what they’re cracked up to be.
While some shoppers walk away with discounts on tech, appliances, and must-have items, others end up with purchases that make them question their life choices.
We’ve rounded up funny and slightly tragic Black Friday fails that capture the unexpected side of bargain hunting.
From items that didn’t live up to the hype to discounts that barely counted as “savings” and adults having public temper tantrums, these fails might make you think twice about getting up at dawn to hit the sales.
So, if you’re considering diving into the Black Friday madness, check out these cautionary tales for a laugh—and maybe a little bit of a reality check.
