TikTok investigator DJ Downey Girl went shopping over the weekend and discovered, in certain cases, that those Black Friday deals that Target was advertising were actually the same prices Target was charging for those items before Black Friday.

Take the case of 75″ Samsung class CU7000 UHD 4K Smart TVs that were sitting out in the middle of the store just begging for deal-thirsty shoppers to snap up. “Black Friday Deals,” a Target placard declared.

And then DJ Downey Girl pulled out a placard behind the Black Friday Deal to reveal it was the same price as Target had been selling the TV before the big shopping day.

[I wonder what the FTC thinks about this advertising. I wonder how many complaints about it that will be necessary to find out the answer to that question. — Ed]
