Hi, friends!
That spastic US holiday shopping event is almost upon us.
Does anyone still go out for Black Friday shopping? Some years I’ll go to the mall on Saturday afternoon to get the Bath and Body Works big holiday bag, depending on what’s in it. Back when I wore makeup regularly, I’d go hit up Sephora or Ulta for some things.
This year, I guess I’ve hit curmudgeon status about it? I was hoping IKEA didn’t do anything for Black Friday because I need a few small kitchen items that normally I get there (and don’t want to deal with extra people volume), but alas, they do have offers so not a chance I’m going there.
I plan on a nice long walk for health (physical and mental) purposes, as long as the weather holds. Shopping can wait.
Nice! Friday is going to be super cold here so I will not be walking outside.
ive sharpened my nails for the occasion
i dont actually want to buy anything
you know…as ancient warcraft said..poke me again and youll pull back a stump
(alternatively…ill do my human call…im so wasted im so wasted)

That’s what I would need for Black Friday if I wanted to head out shopping. Instead, I’m actually going back to work because I couldn’t get that day off (probably because those folks wanted to take Black Friday off.)
I went once with Former Housemate because he was insistent… this was after it suddenly became a big deal here in Canada because of all those fucking cross border shoppers wanting it here in the 00s. After that I never did again. I hate holiday crowds (which is why I went Xmas shopping in Oct) at the mall so why would I be so fucking stupid when they’re 2X worse? Besides there were no good deals on the stuff I wanted/needed so it was just a waste of time for me.
The only good deals I’ve ever gotten was the InstaPot (MSRP of $200 for $90) and a pile of model kits that would have cost $300 total for $120. And that was online only.
no tok?
i mean…thats a vital part of you you are leaving out in favour of shins
My plan, fake right, go left & run until I reach the promised land.
I will buy nothing on Friday.
might not make it to friday….
just woke up to frozen pea soup
the fog with teeth
fuck i hate that shit
I am going to get a new TV. I have a Samsung, Vizio, and Insignia in my cart. Samsung has the best ratings on quality and tech nerd stuff, and the 0ther 2 are considered “budget brands” although the Samsung is actually cheaper than the Vizio atm (Insignia is $100 cheaper than both). Insignia is a Fire TV so I am familiar with the interface, which is a pull for a luddite like me.
It mostly just needs to have the same features as the one I have (smart tv, the usual hookups & plug holes) and not fucking restart itself every 45 min or pretend it can’t see the remote.
Any thoughts?
