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.
Nothing because I don't care :)
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).
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.
Thanks! We're trying to be smart about. We are also fortunate enough to have friends nearby who also recently had kids, so we've been able to borrow some clothes they've grown out of too.
Paid my water bill.
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.
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.
Hmm... I think I ate blood sausage with lingonberry jam, potatoes and sauerkraut.
So that's about all I bought. No 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?

An excellent sausage and cheese toasted sandwich.
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.

Some soup ingredients at the grocery store that we didn't have quite enough of.
Gas
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.
Bunch of lumber and stuff I was already planning on buying as I finish my basement, like a laser level.
Groceries
I got another ps5 controller, some coffee, some snacks, and a new bike headlight. most sales of stuff i wanted was like 10-20 bucks off, nothing significant. the coffee was the best deal, 30% off which saved me like $50.
I got paid from a freelancing job so I bought my dad and sister heated vests for Christmas since they both are outside a lot and it snows here.
I my defense, I didn't even know it was black Friday. I just happened to have gotten paid that day
Had a video game gift card and decided to use it yesterday to maximize what I could get. As someone who used to be crazy into video games I haven't purchased anything in a long time. I brought 1 game at the beginning of the year and that has been it. So the plan was to try and get a few things that ive missed for cheap. In the end I got 3 games which were all around $30 each with a buy 2 get 1 free. With the membership extra $5 off and $50 card i spent $8 bucks on them. Sadly this morning when I went to pop one in the idiot store clerk never put the dam games in the case! I now have to go back today and argue... I really hate stores these days.
I have an event next week that I needed new dress pants for. I went to the store not even thinking about black Friday sales. Saw that I could get a suit jacket + pants for a bit more than what I expected to spend on just pants. Ended up buying two suits (I didn't own a suit beforehand and I'm at the age where I probably should have at least one) and some shirts.
@pineapplelover@lemmy.dbzer0.com A charging/data cable for my Sony NWZ-s639f mp3 player.
