Friday?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Many items are actually a little cheaper on Black Friday, but not everything is necessarily cheaper.The average saving in 2022 was just 4%.56% of the products were even cheaper on another day in November than on the campaign day itself!Some offers can be misleading, as prices have been increased in advance to simulate larger discounts.It is advisable to compare prices in advance and look out for real bargains.Also remember that &#8220;cheap&#8221; is not always good.On the one hand, because it is often at the expense of the environment, and on the other, because it tempts you to buy things that you don&#8217;t really need.So take note of the Green Friday shopping hack we shared with you in the previous part of the article.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Is Black Friday sustainable?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Black Friday is often not sustainable.\\nIt encourages excessive consumption and impulse buying.\\nMany products, especially cheap electronics and fashion, are manufactured under questionable conditions.\\nThe increase in packaging waste and transportation emissions is an additional burden on the environment.\\nHowever, there are sustainable alternatives, such as second-hand purchases or conscious shopping with environmentally friendly brands.\\nThis is also where Green Friday came from.\\nIf your favorite brand or the company you work for is not yet participating in Green Friday, share this article with them. Perhaps this will motivate them to take part in Green Friday in the future.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Why is it actually called Black Friday?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"The term &#8220;Black Friday&#8221; has several origins:1) A common explanation is that it originated in Philadelphia in the 1960s, where the police designated the day after Thanksgiving as &#8220;Black Friday&#8221; because of the heavy traffic and chaos in the city.It was as chaotic as Black Friday 1929, the stock market crash.2) Another explanation relates to accounting: many retailers make so much turnover on this day that their balance sheets change from &#8220;red&#8221; (loss) to &#8220;black&#8221; (profit).3) Meanwhile, this interpretation would also be possible: due to the gloomy black effects on the environment.So let&#8217;s turn Black Friday into Green Friday!\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What's so special about Black Friday?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Big discounts: On Black Friday, stores and online stores often offer considerable discounts on a wide range of products.The start of the Christmas shopping season: Black Friday traditionally marks the start of the Christmas shopping season.
