Black Friday Marketing Frenzy

Black Friday used to be such a major event that peaked everyone's FOMO and caused mass chaos to ensure you got 'the deal'.  Then Cyber Monday Came.  Then Prime Day came.  Now there's pre-Black Friday deals.  What was once a great marketing scheme is leading to many customers being desensitized.  Yes, everyone wants a good deal, but as a customer looking for a big purchase, such as TV, when is the best time to by?  Will Black Friday give me the best price?  Memorial Day Sales?  Or possible the weekend of the Super Bowl?  I don't have the answer, but I do know that whenever I'm in the market for a big item now, I know if I wait less than a month, some holiday or sale will pop up so I can take advantage of some deal.
