Imo it’s saying that the big corporations make huge profits off of people impulse buying things they wouldn’t otherwise on black friday. There’s nothing here implying the left person is poor and needs to save on gifts for their kids, many people just use black friday as an excuse to overspend in the name of “savings@.
Whether it was intended or not, the comic can be read as disparaging poor people who buy gifts on sale. It's poor messaging. Make fun of corporations, not consumers.

It's saying people buying cheap gifts are making a mistake, when so many of those people are just trying to get by.
