Sometimes dreams do come true
My dream since childhood has been the Week of a Million Deals. I remember how, in fourth grade, my mind would drift away during social studies and start imagining each offering, one by one, the low price and the high satisfaction.
I got very excited as holiday season approached in 1995 when the first internet-driven boomlet of deals exploded the number from just hundreds (maybe a thousand, at most) at the beginning of the decade to almost ten thousand. “We’re getting there!” I thought. It was just an order of magnitude or two until Dream Come True.
If, this year, Amazon alone will be listing tens of thousands (forty? fifty??), I assume the full panoply of all retail deals will exceed 100,000. Beyond that are the wholesalers and barter outlets. I’m going to try to track them all.
I’ve started eating better and getting more exercise, motivated by the determination to see the year when my dream becomes reality.
“Starting Friday, November 20 through Black Friday on November 27, Amazon will release tens of thousands of deals with deep discounts.”
I’ll check them out (though, a little short on money this year, I might only be able to take advantage of two or three).
