I bought my wife pregnancy clothing, and found out I’m having a girl!

    Actually, technically she's having the girl. You get to be the pet dad. At least that's how it works with mine.

    I got many tikits today from her. I got a sitting down tikit, a standing up tikit, a moving tikit, a tikit just for being daddy. Once I corrected her spelling I started getting tickets for other imaginary violations. And then she was done.

    I didn't even pay for bus fare. I biked to work, biked home, and ate leftovers. Suck it, fake corporate holiday!

    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.

    A box of 5x50 (metric) wood screws. Not because of black friday, but because I had ran out.

    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 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.

    And how much did you spend on that cruise?

    About $10! I was lucky enough to be brought by my aunt, so I only had to cover the room charges (taxes on a few drinks at port, and of course, Guitar Hero)

    Congrats on your vacation, I go on them also.

    But you must realize bragging about not consuming when going on an environmentally disastrous cruise vacation is ironic, even if your aunt did the spending...

    I bought a single €2 snack while walking through a Christmas market. Other than that, it was a day of riding public transit (monthly pass), walking through parks, and eating a packed lunch.

    Out of pocket total: €2.

    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

    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.

    Some degreaser and penetrating oil for a small engine one of my kids is trying to repair.

    (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.

    As you already know, I love pineapples, but unsure about this so-called 'tinned pineapple'. You're not a fan of fresh pineapples?

    Certainly not, but you can use the leftover pineapple to make a cake, some soup, pineapple juice, a smoothie, some cookies, eating it raw, etc. Just something to have in mind.

    An m8 and m10 bolt from ace hardware with corresponding washers. Big spender

    Hmm... I think I ate blood sausage with lingonberry jam, potatoes and sauerkraut.

    So that's about all I bought. No sale or anything.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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).

    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.

    It's far more pathetic to set a deadline for your boycott than to buy something on black friday. You think your boycott has a meaning if you're that sad about it?

    I've been boycotting all big companies for a year nonstop and your group can barely do it for a week before crying and just buying anyways

    Hey dumbfuck

    Its a general community boycott meant to specifically boycott black Friday and cyber Monday. Its part of larger boycotts, but specifically meant to boycott these events in particular.

    And its a national boycott, not "my boycott".

    Go fuck yourself.

    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.

    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'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.

    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.
