  This is the year I can buy a good TV (any other things) for the first time in my life. Been on long term sick leave for 15 years but recently got increased economical support, including a big retroative payment from may till this month. Just ordered a Steam Deck, something I’ve been dreaming of having for years, some nice headphones and waiting till black friday to get a nice TV. Groceries here in Sweden haven’t increased that much, my monthly cost is about the same as before but I’ve just had to replace some products for the few things that have gotten noticeably more expensive, really no difference to complain about.

  Reninder to check with price history before falling for black friday “sales”. Companies ramp up the price just one month before to offset the reduction.

    Companies even produce special black Friday models of things where they cheap out on everything to reduce costs and not have to discount their regular wares

    Keepa browser extension for Amazon is quite handy, even if you don’t order from Amazon and just want to compare prices

  Groceries can’t be subsidized by stealing your data.

  Not like black Friday sales have been worth shit since COVID anyway.

    Or ever. I’ve never seen anything but chaos on Black Friday. It’s crafted to push impulse purchases for the sake of a “crazy deal”

      Eh, I do remember them being very worthwhile back in ye olden days. I remember my parents getting an amazing looking plasma TV back in maybe 2009-2010 era for south of $150 on a black friday deal, back when flat screens were still exorbitantly expensive in most cases. Same for computers and a lot of toys too.

      Now it’s all like "we just raised our prices last week, now there’s 5% off WOWWEEE!

  I don’t have a big TV. Never felt like I needed one. Never had space for it. Now that they’re all spying on people, I never want to be even near one.

    I bought a big tv recently, it sucks. Old movies and my Nintendo switch games looks awful on it. Do not recommend.
