There are too many Black Friday deals that I want to buy. And I have no idea which ones to choose.

Had some trouble too. I did buy some painting supplies earlier this week to get into a new hobby (acrylic painting specifically) but when I searched for stuff for my other hobbies I suddenly was overwhelmed with offers.

If any are essential, pretty difficult.
Anything else: Put it in the basket.
If you still remember it by tomorrow, think about it before you buy.
