Congrats!
Thank you!
For a moment, I was confused why you would buy your wife pregnant clothing before you knew she was pregnant with a girl.
... Almost like he had something to do with it

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
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.

Absolutely NOTHING!
Not goddamn thing. Best Black Friday ever.
- Eggs
- Cheese (Grated Mozarella and "Pizza Cheese")
- Cream cheese
- Pizza Dough (pre-rolled-out)
- Tortelloni
- Swabian raviolis
- Tomato purée
- Tomato paste
- Sauce hollandaise
- Red wine (for cooking)
Milk, trash bags, and lube.
Oh and I bought my ex a pack of smokes because she sent me a couple nudes.
Good luck.
I didn't need anything so I didn't buy anything. 🤷
A box of 5x50 (metric) wood screws. Not because of black friday, but because I had ran out.
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

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.
Even communists have to buy supplies
In my defense, I actually did have to get my prescription medications, but I didn't buy anything else.
Well, my answer is nothing, and as anyone who follows me knows, seeing me not buy any random novelty cutlery trash from China has certainly got to count for something.

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.

Nothing I would not have bought any other time.
I made no purchases. I don't need much more than groceries and I have leftovers still for a few days.
Nothing.
We're supposed to be holding a boycott until Dec 2nd.
Y'all are fucking pathetic who broke the line.
I never heard of this boycott. If it makes it any better, I didn't buy anything from a big business
First I've heard of one too. But too be fair I'm too poor to buy anything anyway

Nothing, I don't exactly need anything at the moment. In fact I almost forgot Black Friday existed...
Was that yesterday? Didn't go shopping yesterday.
I didn't buy anything
Not a god damn thing
Nothing
VPN.
(2-year subscription for Proton came to $71.76) I wasn’t planning on buying anything anyway but during these dark times, VPN is a necessity IMO.
Nothing related to black friday as I only did groceries.
nothing and fuck all of you for participating in this scam.
Stayed home. (Except a regular walk around the neighborhood.)
Is this actually a specific day somewhere?
All the online shops I know are having "black Friday" for some weeks and I don't know (and don't care) when it ends.
Traditionally, Black Friday only meant that Friday after Thanksgiving, but as things started being more online-centric, I guess stores extend those sales
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 was going to buy the Lego Star Trek enterprise, but it was sold out before I got there. Oh well, they saved me from myself with artificial supply restrictions.
Instead, I didn't buy anything.
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.
An m8 and m10 bolt from ace hardware with corresponding washers. Big spender
Nice try, FBI
Some degreaser and penetrating oil for a small engine one of my kids is trying to repair.
Friday night, so I got some treats to eat while we watched TV at home. Milk, cheese, crackers, chocolate chip cookies, and ice cream.
