Sale season

In Australia, we don't celebrate Thanksgiving (unless you have American connections) but we do Black Friday in a major, major way. It starts with Singles Day (a sale on the 11/11 which I think came from some of the countries in Asia), then we have 3 weeks of Black Friday sales for some reason, then actual Black Friday sale and then 3 days of Cyber Monday sales and then apparently, this year, on the Tuesday following Cyber Monday is Cyber Week Sales!

Even with our cost of living crisis, apparently Australians have been saving up to spend in the sales and it is forecast we will spend $6.7 billion in four days from actual black Friday to close of Cyber Monday.

I am beginning to this November is the weirdest month in Australia.


#Allseasons linky runs from Thursday to Wednesday each week.

Link one post that shows something seasonal. Traditional weather wise, a seasonal nature marker or a seasonal celebration.

    1. oh, sorry. Odd. It wasn't there at first. My blogger is getting weirder and weirder (sometimes it shows back end but not on the page. I've not been looking at the back end of late...)

  5. I'm all saled out. I don't want to hear about another sale whatever its name and whatever its colour! It's funny how the one holiday I really enjoyed when visiting the USA, Thanksgiving, has not travelled to many other places around the world. Not a holiday that is very commercial - hence the Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales... Thanks for hosting, Lydia. Enjoy the week
