Have you bought anything on Black Friday?

Yes, and I used a promotional code or coupon, or took advantage of a Black Friday deal
16 (31.4%)

Yes, but only because I needed essential supplies, like coffee, tea and/or milk.
21 (41.2%)

No, I have stayed indoors, locked my wallet in a filing cabinet, and entirely avoided the internet. Someone else is answering this poll for me. Really.

I was going to make an inessential purchase (a couple of pints of ice cream, ginger and I hadn't decided) but when I got there this evening the shop had a sign that they had run out of ice cream and are therefore closed for the season, see you in February or March. (The website had said this store would be open until the 25th; it's a tiny branch of a larger store out in the suburbs.) Ah, well, I do have some chocolate fudge brownie ice cream.

(Bananas and chicken broth and milk are basic supplies; ice cream when I already have some feels less so.)

I would argue that ice cream is essential, any time.
