I keep a wishlist of things I want/need with their regular prices marked. On Black Friday, I check that list to see if anything got discounted. More than likely, nothing is, because discounted products are usually cheaper variants, or already-expensive items marked up in advance, then dropped to regular price for Black Friday.
Nothing on my list was discounted this year. So I bought some games through the Steam Black Friday sale and called it a day.
Some degreaser and penetrating oil for a small engine one of my kids is trying to repair.
I got a second hand ThinkPad W520 for about $30USD. I already have one, but this was too good of a deal to pass.
I got some Channa Masala at a local indian place but it wasn't on sale or anything
Burger buns. Salad greens. Tinned pineapple.
Tinned pineapple?
Yeah, pineapple pieces in tins.
As you already know, I love pineapples, but unsure about this so-called 'tinned pineapple'. You're not a fan of fresh pineapples?
Friday night, so I got some treats to eat while we watched TV at home. Milk, cheese, crackers, chocolate chip cookies, and ice cream.
Pizza for pizza Friday.
An m8 and m10 bolt from ace hardware with corresponding washers. Big spender
Nothing because I don't care :)
Nice try, FBI
A sausage roll.
My router was flaking out so I bought some CAT6, I had forgotten it was Black Friday until I got to the store, but the place wasn’t noticeably crowded.
Also, though I have not paid for it yet, I dropped my jet skis off to be serviced and winterized.
We're prepping for a baby who is coming soon. Had a list of baby stuff we were keeping an eye on to see if any actual lower prices came around. Found a handful of things at decent discount actually, but there's still plenty left on the list. Baby stuff is expensive...
find a baby or kids reuse store near you. often times you can find clothes, shoes, toys, etc still new in box or tagged for a couple $2-5 when new they sold for $15-30.
bonus, when you're done you can sell it back if it's still in decent condition.
kids go through clothes like crazy. no reason to spend $1000 a year on new when you can spend $100-200.
just don't buy reused car seats, stay away from anyone trying to sell you one too.
Some soup ingredients at the grocery store that we didn't have quite enough of.
A drink and food at a local spot. Wasn't a black Friday sale or anything, but we stopped in.
Didn't chase any sales or buy anything of note. Don't need much.
Paid my water bill.
Local store had 20% off video games, which isn't up to par with past Black Fridays, but eh, meh.
One cheap Christmas present and what will likely be my last Xbox game. (Halo Infinite, bookending Halo as my first Xbox game).
I picked up about 20 books — a mix of novels and manga.
I also bought a BenQ GP520 projector,
and a few Anker items: a Nano USB-C hub, a Charging Station, and a PowerLine III cable.
Most notably a new pack of coffee filters.
Hmm... I think I ate blood sausage with lingonberry jam, potatoes and sauerkraut.
So that's about all I bought. No sale or anything.
Bought some handmade Christmas ornaments at a locally owned gift shop and some jewelry at a locally owned thrift shop. Some for me, some for gifts. Nothing was on sale, I was just showing some visiting family what a cute little town I live in.
Oh, and we bought brunch at a locally owned brunch place. The protesters on the freeway overpass have been telling me to Boycott Big Business and Buy Local for about a week now, so I did as I was told.
waffle.
A new shop vac because I happened to need it and it happened to be on sale.
$24 of gas for my car
@pineapplelover@lemmy.dbzer0.com A charging/data cable for my Sony NWZ-s639f mp3 player.
*it wasn't in a sale or anything, I just needed one and it was coincidentally black friday
Several beers and some snacks with my spouse at a local brewery
A chef salad and a calzone
Groceries
Bunch of lumber and stuff I was already planning on buying as I finish my basement, like a laser level.
