Craft stuff does legitimately go on sale. Fabric always gets deep discounts, and sewing/craft machines and tools also get a decent discount. It’s a great time to pick up stuff for a hobby you’ve kind of been interested in but weren’t sure you wanted to drop the money on it.

Where are these magical 50% off sales? I haven’t seen any discounts on stuff worth buying this year (or last).

My tinfoil hat theory is stores don’t have the staff to run the classic large Black Friday exclusive sales so they’ve done weeklong deals.

Reality is covid changed the way they did it, that and many stores closing on Thanksgiving. Then they realized they could still make a similar amount of money with less risk to people and property. And with digital retail becoming more popular they'll lose less product to theft and damages if you ship from a warehouse or have a personal shopper get it for you and bring it to your car instead of going into an overcrowded store.
Employees are less stressed, everyone is safer, and sales numbers are the same or better.
