If You’re Eargerly Thinking About Black Friday But Just Don’t Want to Wait

Impatience is an oft-neglected virtue that deserves attention when Black Friday is on the imminent horizon.

What tends to happen across the month of November is a string of vows in the direction of fiscal saving. Call it the shopping equivalent of food deprivation wherein, say, a cupcake lover will swear off frosting-festooned delicacies for x amount of time only to find herself having maniacally relapsed several weeks later.

I’m not projecting.

While just before sale season, the supposition is that the spending-strike goes into effect with the intention of coming out on top like a lion eager to burn holes through its pockets, there is the question of what happens to the impatiently virtuous shoppers in the interim. Do they lose it? Make poor decisions as a result of the self-inflicted blockade? Break their vows several days too early only to find that when discount day finally comes, the load has already been blown?

Amuze (as in, the artist formerly known as the Internet’s best kept sale secret) has seemingly been able to quell that gaping-though-prematurely burning fire for the unwilling-to-wait with its selection of deals so good, they could conceivably put Howie Mandel out of a job. Case in point: a pair of grey suede Saint Laurent sneakers that went up this morning, down to $185 from $680. A white cropped Tibi sweatshirt, down to $95 from its original $365 and, of course, one should not forget any of the presently photographed spoils: a polka-dot Valentino Va Va Voom bag (a shoe sale for the brand is currently in effect, too), Judith Lieber’s ambitiously encrusted flower pot, one gold Lanvin blazer and enough Balenciaga footwear to give you whiplash.

Of course, there is a chance that you do not suffer from the symptoms of overeagerness. Maybe you come from the school of thought that is built on the very tenant that good things come to those who wait. And maybe, too, you’re right. So if you do plan to wait until Friday, you can rest assured that all discounted merchandise on Amuze will be further reduced and offered with free shipping (but only through Monday).

Ka ching! Happy birthday! Tofurkey!
