10) I can’t wait for Black Friday deals

Your excitement for Black Friday deals is palpable, but your bank account’s reaction? Not so much. This meme plays on the inner dialogue we all have: the joy of deals and the guilt of spending money we don’t have.

11) Working Black Friday instead of shopping be like…

It’s a sad reality that not everyone gets to shop on Black Friday. For those who are stuck working, this meme provides a relatable glimpse into the struggle of having to choose between basic needs and the desire to splurge on sales.
