Yeah true. I saved a ton by not buying anything
Comment on Black Friday, more like buy stupid shit day.

I found the bitching about prices going up to present bigger discounts to be mostly not true unless you are just mindlessly buying small cheap shit.
I’ve definitely saved some money shopping today.

Yeah, it does happen, but it’s mostly shitty companies that do that.

Yeah, I know I’m in the minority in the fediverse on this but for the last few months (for some of what I wanted, about 10 months) I’ve kept glancing at a few things that weren’t urgent but would be needed soonish, and now the prices have all come down a good chunk for Black Friday.
I get if you’re randomly scrolling amazon looking for deals, yeah, that’s garbage. But if you’ve been patient, with actual specific ideas…

Bingo. I basically think about what I"m going to buy in the next six months and list it up and then buy it on black friday if it’s below the normal price. And usually it is.
I just bought 6 bags of $25 coffee for $15 each. Bought a bunch of summer stuff that I will use next year. Saved 60 bucks on what I was going to buy anyway.

Yeah I agree. Planning what you need definitely helps. I usually make a list and discover I can either buy local, get the shit for free, or in six months I don’t really need it.
