I already ordered 1kg hyper pla white from creality ($8). What else I can buy during black Friday? I'm not sure what I'll be printing other than trinkets and household items. These are the ones I currently have in my cart. Please let me know your thoughts and advice.

White petg 1kg from creality $6

Anycubic: petg texture gray, pla+ black, Pla strawberry pink - $26

Please let me know if I should get something else instead.

Long time I haven't ordered any creality filament but they were not great few years ago, hopefully they are better now. Filament is sensitive to humidity, store in a dry place especially open spools. If you pinch filament in half and it breaks, that means it is really humid and you will have some printing issues, if so you need to dry filament. Another advice unrelated to filament is to watch some videos to learn how to operate, maintain,... The more you watch, the better. Get in some discord forum for ender 3 or creality printers so you can get some help from people who owns same printer.
