Got a new controller I have been wanting for a while at the price of my old one, except this new one has way more features than the previous one.

For a moment, I was confused why you would buy your wife pregnant clothing before you knew she was pregnant with a girl.

Absolutely NOTHING!

[–] theuniqueone@lemmy.dbzer0.com 33 points 5 days ago

Nothing fuck consumerism.

[–] Nemo@slrpnk.net 29 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I didn't even pay for bus fare. I biked to work, biked home, and ate leftovers. Suck it, fake corporate holiday!

Well it was a regular work day for me, so I bought lunch

[–] CentipedeFarrier@piefed.social 25 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Nothing, and I don’t plan to buy anything except normal stuff through January, either. I’m not doing Xmas this year, so very easy to avoid the spend.

I must admit I was a big spender. I was on the second last day of my cruise, so I went a little wild. I spent $2.55 on the Guitar Hero cabinet in the arcade. No regrets.

Milk, trash bags, and lube.

Oh and I bought my ex a pack of smokes because she sent me a couple nudes.

[–] zlatiah@lemmy.world 8 points 4 days ago

Nothing, I don't exactly need anything at the moment. In fact I almost forgot Black Friday existed...

[–] FistingEnthusiast@lemmynsfw.com 15 points 5 days ago

Not a single thing

I didn't need anything so I didn't buy anything. 🤷

[–] hexagonwin@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 4 days ago

I got a second hand ThinkPad W520 for about $30USD. I already have one, but this was too good of a deal to pass.

[–] spittingimage@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Burger buns. Salad greens. Tinned pineapple.

[–] pineapplelover@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)
[–] spittingimage@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Yeah, pineapple pieces in tins.

[–] pineapplelover@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 4 days ago (4 children)

As you already know, I love pineapples, but unsure about this so-called 'tinned pineapple'. You're not a fan of fresh pineapples?

A box of 5x50 (metric) wood screws. Not because of black friday, but because I had ran out.

[–] Libb@piefed.social 12 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

Nothing I would not have bought any other time.

[–] davidagain@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago

A sausage roll.

Goodness gracious, the way everybody on Lemmy claims to be anti-capitalist, the majority of answers better be "nothing".

Edit: ITT: people offended at being lumped in with the rabble.

I bought a rock climb membership on sale. The next day, it was on sale for a cheaper price so I refunded and bought it again

Nothing.

We're supposed to be holding a boycott until Dec 2nd.

Y'all are fucking pathetic who broke the line.

[–] pineapplelover@lemmy.dbzer0.com 14 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I never heard of this boycott. If it makes it any better, I didn't buy anything from a big business

[–] Cheems@lemmy.world 5 points 5 days ago

First I've heard of one too. But too be fair I'm too poor to buy anything anyway

I made no purchases. I don't need much more than groceries and I have leftovers still for a few days.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 10 points 5 days ago
[–] 0ops@piefed.zip 9 points 5 days ago

I didn't buy anything

[–] thirteene@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I've been riding my euc and escooter a lot; especially for quick food runs. I picked up a cambro go (insulated pizza carrier) and a wide low profile steel tumbler in an attempt to address integral slurpee collapse. I've been trying to look for some elastic canvas bags but might need to go custom.

Was that yesterday? Didn't go shopping yesterday.

[–] howl2@lemmy.zip 2 points 4 days ago

Dog food and not a damn thing otherwise

[–] slazer2au@lemmy.world 8 points 5 days ago

Nothing related to black friday as I only did groceries.

[–] chosensilence@pawb.social 7 points 5 days ago

nothing and fuck all of you for participating in this scam.

[–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 3 points 4 days ago

Hmm... I think I ate blood sausage with lingonberry jam, potatoes and sauerkraut.

So that's about all I bought. No sale or anything.
