what have you bought this Black Friday? 🛍️,🏷️🛒

A bag of oatmeal, $4.47.

Because I'm worth it.

[quote] Because I'm worth it. is it organic, rolled oats, steel cut or those quick oatmeal with hot water ?

A new iPhone

Haha, OP, I'm broke this year, so I just go to my favorite sites and daydream... But seeing friends' online hauls posted on Instagram actually is kind of a cool secondhand thrill.

I bought me an electric toothbrush at €29.99 retails for €59.99

Hoping to score clothing and leather goods but the deals aren't that WoW. Will wait till after xmast maybe there will be better deals then

An engine belt for my car. On sale at O’Reilly’s!

[quote] But seeing friends' online hauls posted on Instagram

how tacky!

fettuccine and stevia

I was going to say nothing but I got a charger cable for my iPhone — the old one is wearing out.

I renewed my VPN subscription for a year since it was half off - I know, how exciting. Other than that, I just took a trip to the liquor store to stock up on booze.

I've noticed many brick and mortar stores weren't even offering "door buster" deals, perhaps due to the pandemic but also people opting to shop online these days instead.

I bought a $100 Apple gift card from Target's website and it came with a free $15 Target gift card.

Apple gift card? the card for music, tv, apps or the card you can purchase apple hardware?

You can use it for any of those things, R12.

A bottle of fragrance (25% off), two pairs of pants (one was 50%, the other was 35% off).

Slippers for $10 or 1/2 off.

Need a blender that can make chopped potatoes into an almost smooth consistency for potato cakes. NEED SUGGESTIONS.

Buying more turkeys to stick in my neighbor's empty freezers. They loved the one I cooked for Thanksgiving but it wasn't large enough for many leftovers. Also stuffed it and made all of the sides. Anyway is Butterball really better than Jennie-O? Promised a 2nd turkey dinner before Christmas.

one of those Ninja blenders should work for your potato needs, check their reviews on youtube, the ones with with food demos.

Nothing. I already have shopping done, & don't need anything. But I've never been a Black Friday person, anyway.

I bought a new cell phone for my mother, good wool socks for myself.

Nothing. My spouse and I bought Cheristmas gifts and delivered them to a school that caters to "housing insecure" kids. We did it last year too, there were very few kids that returned for a second year. I hope it means they all found permanent housing. I bought a lot of the stuff during Amazon Prime day.

Some C-IN2 underwear.

2 bongs

another vacuum

a vintage cape coat

a bunch of dog toys and salmon oil

new sheets

make up and hair stuff

A book ,a sea shell,and a hoodie

[quote] "A book, a sea shell, and a hoodie"

Damn. Now I wish I had answered "A bell, a book, and a candle."

[quote] Need a blender that can make chopped potatoes into an almost smooth consistency for potato cakes. NEED SUGGESTIONS.

Blender or food processor? What do you mean by smooth consistency? Like applesauce?

R21, I'm looking for a new vacuum. Which one did you go with?

Some new cameras for my home security system.

r25, I got this for $140 because I won't be upset if I have to replace it in a year like I have had to with every expensive vacuum I have bought in the past 10 years. it's unfortunately out of stock at that price now

Not R21, but I got this Dirt Devil compact upright vacuum cleaner recently from Target (not on Black Friday). It works well for my needs. I paid about $40.

wtf? I got it at jc penney. I have no idea how I wound up with that link.

A chauffer, cook and upstairs maid.

I haven’t bought anything. And my family (everyone is grown and no one needs more crap) has decided to do a white elephant gift card exchange. Everyone buys a $30 gift card at a store of their choice, and then we exchange white elephant style at Christmas.

I’m debating buying myself a Roomba (although I already have two vacuums), but damn even on sale Roombas are fucking expensive.

I don't like my rooma r31, if that helps.

R21, that is the same one I looked at from Kohls, but it was out of stock by the time I tried to order it. Also the same justification...I have 2 dogs and 4 cats, and no matter how much I spend, I feel like they all lose suction around the one year mark.

R28, do you think that one would work well for pets? If I got 6 months out of it, I'd consider it a win.

R33, I think that the Dirt Devil compact would be worth a try. I don't have pets but I do have thick hair (on my head) that sheds in my house.

I do make it a point to empty out that canister often, so I'm sure that helps. I also do check the roller (underneath). So far, no tangled hair in there. My old vacuum had a lot of hair caught in the roller.

Here's one for you r33, different model but similar

All of my purchases were on line.

I bought a Yaxell sandwich knife, a wet stone and an 8qt oval Le Creuset Dutch oven in deep teal with a copper knob.

Two 1950s Argentine film noirs on Blu-Ray.

R36, how is that sandwich knife different from a regular serrated knife?

2x tubs of organic miso paste, 2x Mac concealer, 1x Mac eyeliner pencil, oyster knife.

Skincare products.

a cock, an ass and a lot fresh cums!

r14, which fragrance?

r39, are you cis male?

This

I know this isn't allowed and now my rotten cunt is going to stink the joint up, R42 (my apologies for that), but I'm a female human.

[quote] Two 1950s Argentine film noirs on Blu-Ray.

How coincidental! .. I've been thinking about buying two 1995 Argentine bottoms with blue eyes!

R35, thank you, rescue-chick! That looks like a great deal (since I can't get the one you got.)

R38 To be honest it is not that different other than the thick blade that allows for quick spreading of condiments on bread before cutting the sandwich. I have read several good reviews regarding this style and it’s a multi use knife for cutting through veggies, herbs and meat cleanly due to the serrations.

I had my eye on this knife and missed out on a great sale a few months ago so I was glad to find this on sale again.

I own a few serrated knives, I think my favorite is my Wusthof classic Ikon bread knife, the handle is cream and it has a nice weight and feel, it is a traditional looking bread knife with a long thin blade which has held its edge for several years.

I also have a Wusthof Classic deli knife which looks a little weird because it has an offset looking blade which lets you put pressure on the top when cutting through something thick.

A Hulu subscription.

A new tablet. Got the Samsung Galaxy S6 Lite for $249 to replace my 8-year old tablet.

Nothing. Zip. I'm trying to not buy things unless I need them. I did buy a book today though but a digital version. Black Friday is pretty pants anyway, especially this year with the shortages.

Set of sheets, a decent chef's knife, filters for the air purifiers, and some loccitane and kiehls supplies for winter.

I bought 2 boxes of printer ink.

R24, Yes I'd like to put chopped up potatoes in the device and have it come out like applesauce. Do I need a food processor or a blender? My mother used to use an Osterizer blender years ago.

Don't know what's worth the money, and I'd like it to take up a minimal amount of space in my kitchen cupboard. My older Black & Decker (or is it Hamilton Beach?) blender doesn't do the job.

Where did you get the sheets and what kind? I was going to ask about sheets (I really need some) but thought I'd wait until January white sales. If there is a good deal I want in on it!

[quote] Need a blender that can make chopped potatoes into an almost smooth consistency for potato cakes.

What's a potato?

[quote] [R14], which fragrance?

Tabac Vert from Rogue Perfumery.

All Rogue Perfumery fragrances are 25% off this weekend on Etsy.

Nothing yet but I am still shopping

r54, I am not as fancy as the rest of you guys but I also have no shame. Attached is ine set I ordered

A Le Creuset sauteuse in Deep Teal. Love LC!

I bought a king sized set on sale at Sams this year and it’s really good quality, for $36 it’s just as good as my Italian linens.

R53, I'm assuming you're using *raw* potatoes in a stand blender. I wouldn't yet abandon what you have (Black and Decker / Hamilton Beach). Try this method on this YouTube video. Starts at around the 5:30 mark. (Involves adding some water and then straining.)

I'm guessing you're having problems getting the raw potatoes to move around in the blender. Water should help.

Oatmeal and TP. I had a coupon for the TP. I wanted to buy cashews, but they weren't on sale. I went to a record store and was going to buy a record, but I put it back. Maybe later. That concluded my Black Friday adventures.

The brick and mortar stores were surprisingly empty. I ended up buying a lot of foods, pasta, etc.

R58, I love jersey sheets. Unfortunately (fortunately?) they hold up so well the are the only kind I have left!

R60, do you remember the brand/material?

R25, if you want a new vacuum, I recommend getting a cordless. I got a Shark Vertex. I absolutely love it, it's light unlike a cumbersome corded vacuum and it's perfect for hardwood floors. I found myself sweeping my floors a lot but not getting rid of the dust effectively like this does. It cleans rugs well although I use my regular vacuum for my shag rugs.

I bought mine 3 months ago for $329 but now they're on sale at Amazon, Walmart and JCPenney for $100 less -- $199 and $249. I can just shoot myself for not waiting.

r65, do you have pets? I killed my cordless dyson in months, now I have a several hundred dollars dust buster. I don't recommend them if you have pets.

A new phone plus a 99 cents/month for 2 months subscription to BritBox.

I'm glad you mentioned the pets, r66. Kohls had the vacuum you bought and a Shark Vortex for Black Friday at a really great price. The regular vacuum was of course out of stock, so I thought about the Vortex, but couldn't pull the trigger. It's probably best I didn't.

R64 It was the organic cotton brushed parcel cool sheets, no pilling and they stay cool so you don’t feel hot at night. They are not expensive even at regular price of $40 for the king. Look out for the shocking values for good deals.

R60, I am almost 50 years old ad cannot figure out what sheets I like. I have finally realized thread count is meaningless. I hate microfiber sheets; my husband hates flannel. I have also realized i don't care about wrinkles. I JUST WANT SOFT SHEETS. I bought a set at TJ Maxx in 2005, but by the time I realized I loved them, the tag was faded. I bought a set a few years ago at JCP Home 300 count all cotton "super" or "extra" (?) soft that I love, but I think they have been discontinued. I get all turned around when they advertise sheets at $200, and they are always on sale, so they are actually $39.99 sheets and feel like sandpaper.

R61, Thanks for your tip. I'll try all of them and watch the YouTube video.

Definitely buying the $20 sheet set, thanks. As long as they're cotton and don't wrinkle easily they'll be fine for my Queen.

R70 I sleep hot so cool sheets are a must for me and I have found that cotton percale sheets keep me cool. I don’t like sheets with a rough texture and thread count is misleading so immediately avoid anything that highlights the thread count first. The better quality linens are made from long staple cotton.

I have had good luck with Bellino sheets, sometimes you can score them at home goods or Marshalls.

[quote] I hate microfiber sheets; my husband hates flannel. I have also realized i don't care about wrinkles. I JUST WANT SOFT SHEETS.

R70 Same here and all accounts. I finally settled on Portuguese Cotton sheets. Love them.

[quote]As long as they're cotton and don't wrinkle easily they'll be fine for my Queen.

I hope that's the size of your bed and not how you refer to your husband.

A Nestle’s Crunch Bar, an enema bag, and condoms, condoms, condoms Rose!!!!!!

I doubled down and bought some clothes at the Ralp Lauren website, all in all I guess almost 60% discount

I knew better and blew my wad last year believing COVID would somehow fuck things up. So yippee, I bought zero. I thought to maybe subscribe to Criterion Channel but that thing is eye-popping expensive!

Philips light bulbs. Polish organic toiletries and candles. A series of old fashioned lamp shade metal frames (no fabric on them) - all the same style but different sizes.

[R79], what kind/brand of Polish organic toiletries?

An LG OLED 65" tv

A 4K Blu-ray player with HDR and Dolby Vision along with the Addams Family 4K disc.

Vis Plantis, Bophaera, and Bolsius for Polish and Botavikos for Russian. All Black Friday specials super cheap by Swiss prices. I don't know the brands, aside from Bolsius, but they had some good reviews. Bolsius candles are great they have vegetable and paraffin lines. They are marked up 3x or more outside Poland.

What's the best NATURAL room spray to cover up kitchen smells?

Used to buy cinnamon scented pine cones but the scent doesn't last very long. NATURAL pumpkin spice scent must be on sale somewhere now that it's winter, right?

I've been on this planet for a long time and this was the first I ever heard the term sandwich knife.

I was hoping I'd see some good deals on iPads (mini or otherwise). I use my current one specifically to play games, watch a few movies and surf the web for porn. It's slowly dying. Sadly, I didn't see any phenomenal deals on new iPads. Wonder if I'm not looking in the right places. Also, any good alternatives to the "i" family?

Nothing!

[quote]NATURAL pumpkin spice scent

That would be ginger, clove, cinnamon and nutmeg. So maybe just make your own?

R88 he's wants NATURAL pumpkin spice scent, you know the organic essential oil. Not some fake concoction like whatever you are talking about.

The purest NATURAL pumpkin spice scent is produced by virgin nuns in Carpathian Mountain monasteries.

[quote] What's the best NATURAL room spray to cover up kitchen smells? Used to buy cinnamon scented pine cones but the scent doesn't last very long. NATURAL pumpkin spice scent must be on sale somewhere now that it's winter, right?

R84, I hear you on the cooking smells, but I would say just open a window for a little while. Even if you don't open a window, the smell will dissipate. Those scented things you're describing smell worse than the cooking smells, IMO.

FDS

Try this if you can find one

Better Homes and Gardens Essential Oil Infused Aromatherapy Room Spray with Gemstones

comes in scents of Lavender and Chamomile, Lemon and Mandarin, Peppermint, Lime and Eucalyptus...

When I think fresh, I think gemstone powder mist inhaled deep into my lungs.

I use Mrs Myers stuff

r58 Thanks, rescue-chick. I just ordered a pair of those sheets, also in green.

excellent r97!

i bought my parents a new vacuum cleaner on amazon. it was 100 bucks. It's a hoover. My dad wanted one with all the attachments included. I got my sister a set of card prompts for photography.

I bought some things online from Macy's. A sheet set for my bed, Calvin Klein Defy cologne for a relative, it was the gift set. A weighted blanket and new shoes for my partner.

Sven

Would you mind posting a link of the vacuum, r99? TIA

here you go, R101. Sorry i did not post the link in my earlier post.

A whole bunch of presents for my friends and my mom.

A whole bunch of peasants for my friends and my mom.

I bought nothing. I’m at the point in my life that I pretty much have everything I need. My family is the same way—we all made a pact not to give xmas presents to each other because we all have too much stuff.

A new pussy?

A wood chip and a dead weed.

None of what I want is on sale:

Faber-Castell Polychromo color pencils $270 : (

Posca Markers $98 : (

Watercolor sets $100 : (

Ipad Pro 256GB $1,399+ : (

I guess quality is not on sale...

r108, the 120s?

120 are about 200 in Europe.

R108 I paint with watercolor as well, which set are you looking at? I got a nice small set of Schmincke watercolors on ebay for around 70 USD.

[Quote]I bought a Yaxell sandwich knife,

A guy in southern Tunisia threatened to kill me with a knife like that after calling me a filthy German. Joke was on him. I'm SWISS. ThanKs for the memories.

Wait ! Are those "real" Polychromo color pencil sets because the 120 sets are very expensive @ Jerry's Artarama and Blick. I no longer buy them at Amazon since I got a damaged set (those that don't pass quality control) a year ago. It was a pain to get Amazon to refund me. I don't know if to trust Ebay sellers.

R111, I use Daniel Smith (among others) I wanted a tube set but since this is for illustration I wonder if I should forget about it and just use Gouache. In the age of Photoshop and Procreate even cheap brands look good. Still, I wanted a good set of colors.

they say they are and the seller has good ratings. I would chance it if I loved them because ebay doesn't fuck around, they do money back if it's fakein my experience.

Ugghh Rescue-Chick it sounds too good to be true. I'm tempted.

[quote]120 are about 200 in Europe.

Yeah but I'm not in Europe R110. Here in the States they go for $270-$400.

I am a risk taker r115, do what you think works for you 😁 I have no problem going batshit on ebay if something is a scam. I have never had that happen though and I have bought some pretty random, weird yet normally expensive shit off ebay.

No. If it's on eBay, it's a known high-end brand and it's suspiciously cheap, it's a counterfeit.

Fucksake.

This is about $145 USD...

I couldn't sleep and just bought a 77" TV.

I haven't had a TV in 20 years! I quickly read about the right size nowadays and this seems good for movie watching. I watch a lot of old black and whites and this might give the screen effect?

R56 have you tried the sample pack? Thinking of getting it but they are rollers so I assume it's oil and not a spray. Would prefer a spray. I also can't make out which ones are for men or women.

A sling blade

A new Roku (cyber deal)

A new Refurbished 8th gen iPad w4 yr warranty

SSDs were big this BF and I bought several from Amazon. I also bought a laptop from Target, underwear from 2xist, and pillows from Macy’s. I got a subscription to Men.com and ChaosMen to get some of their older stuff.

I didn’t see any good deal on men’s clothes at the usual places I buy from. I assume it’s the Buttigieg supply chain problem that has kept stores from having excess stock that would go on clearance. However, I did find some shirt and pants deals on Amazon and I bought a robe from Kohl’s.

I normally use this time to make larger purchases such as luxury bedding or speakers, but this year my spending funds do not allow it, so I just bought some new glass ornaments for my tree.

A couple of Yankee candles, five pairs of chinos to wear to work, duct tape, a bottle of ether, a length of rope, a large vat of lard, heavy-duty chain and a package of blindfolds.

Did you forget the lye, r124?

R112 You can’t just post that without giving the back story, what prompted the Tunisian man to call you names and threaten you with an expensive Japanese sandwich knife?

ughh, they canceled half of my order at the coachoutlet webiste, apologies given but no code or something to redeem towards a new purchase.

No. R125. I blew the rest of my wad on 100 tablets of Seconal.

^^ does your source have quaaludes?

My iPad died. I ordered a new one & a new case from local geek shop. It came in the day before thanksgiving. If I’d waited 2 days I would’ve got at least a $100 apple gift card. But the shop didn’t tell me apple was going to do that & I’m pretty pissed about it.

R130 1) that sucks. 2) did they know. 3) many people think 100 bucks is chump change.

Good job 77" TV guy! After 20 years with no TV you will be unstoppable

Anyone know of a slim, lightweight emergency phone battery charger that is reliable? I ought 2 chargers a few years ago. Both were heavy as hell, each charged my phones twice a piece & then never recharged themselves again. They were not disposable chargers. When reading reviews, it seems like chargers that are not sold as disposable chargers seem to be under the impression that they are, in fact, disposable.

R134, I have a variety of portable phone chargers, but my favorite is the small and lightweight iWalk.

I use the model compatible with my Android Samsung Galaxy.

Amazon. About $30--$35.

Which iWalk? There are a few different kinds.

lume. deodorant for your pussy, pits and feet.
