Additionally, it has garnered more than 3.Three million likes and attracted 58,900 feedback from fellow TikTokers expressing their opinion that Black Friday is a complete rip-off (and we could not agree extra).

"That's why I didn’t go shopping anywhere," one individual mentioned. "It's been a gimmick for years!"

A 2d TikTok user agreed, stating, "Black Friday deals used to be SO GOOD. Now, I don't even bother. Even online, they raise the price to 'drop it.'"

"I've noticed everything was cheaper like two weeks ago [than] it was Black Friday," a 3rd TikToker penned, while another person quipped, "I found one where the regular price was lower [than the] Black Friday deal."

Someone else shared, "I got my mom a Coach purse for Christmas last week for $145. They marked it up to almost $200 for Black Friday." OK, our minds are officially blown... has it always been this way?! If so, we will't believe it is taken us this long to uncover these retail shenanigans!

"I worked at Target back in 2015 [through] 2020, and it was always like that things are on sale a month before Black Friday," a former retail worker commented.

Another person defined, "At Walmart, a week before black Friday, Keurigs were $35, and on Black Friday, it was $49 and marked as a Black Friday deal."

"I've been saying this for years," a 3rd TikTok consumer replied. "If you really pay attention, you'll notice they raise the price in October to lower it in November."

Distractify reached out to Target for remark, and a spokesperson spoke back with the following statement:

"A recent TikTok video showed a guest questioning if there was a sale on three Samsung TVs that had both a Black Friday sale sign, as well as a sale sign behind it indicating the same price.

In fact, the TVs were on sale before Black Friday as part of our early Black Friday sales. We continued to offer those items at the same discount during Black Friday, but updated the signage to reflect the extended timing.

In both instances, guests would have saved the same amount, between $20-$80 depending on which TV they purchased. Those discounted prices compared to the regular prices are clearly shown in both sale signs in the video.

We know our guests are looking for flexibility when they shop holiday deals, which is why we began Black Friday deals in late October and will continue offering great discounts throughout the holiday season. We also offer a Price Match Guarantee, and will match the price of any item purchased by a guest that is offered at a lower price later in the season."
