Milk, trash bags, and lube.
Oh and I bought my ex a pack of smokes because she sent me a couple nudes.
Good luck.
Goodness gracious, the way everybody on Lemmy claims to be anti-capitalist, the majority of answers better be "nothing".
Edit: ITT: people offended at being lumped in with the rabble.
Even communists have to buy supplies
In my defense, I actually did have to get my prescription medications, but I didn't buy anything else.
Well, my answer is nothing, and as anyone who follows me knows, seeing me not buy any random novelty cutlery trash from China has certainly got to count for something.
I didn't need anything so I didn't buy anything. 🤷
A box of 5x50 (metric) wood screws. Not because of black friday, but because I had ran out.
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
Nothing I would not have bought any other time.
I made no purchases. I don't need much more than groceries and I have leftovers still for a few days.
I didn't buy anything
nothing and fuck all of you for participating in this scam.
Was that yesterday? Didn't go shopping yesterday.
VPN.
(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.
Nothing related to black friday as I only did groceries.
Nothing
Stayed home. (Except a regular walk around the neighborhood.)
Is this actually a specific day somewhere?
All the online shops I know are having "black Friday" for some weeks and I don't know (and don't care) when it ends.
Traditionally, Black Friday only meant that Friday after Thanksgiving, but as things started being more online-centric, I guess stores extend those sales
I got some Channa Masala at a local indian place but it wasn't on sale or anything
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 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.
Friday night, so I got some treats to eat while we watched TV at home. Milk, cheese, crackers, chocolate chip cookies, and ice cream.
An m8 and m10 bolt from ace hardware with corresponding washers. Big spender
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.
Sounds like a lovely day
Some degreaser and penetrating oil for a small engine one of my kids is trying to repair.
Nice try, FBI
Groceries
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.
Nothing because I don't care :)
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.
Pizza for pizza Friday.
Bunch of lumber and stuff I was already planning on buying as I finish my basement, like a laser level.
Several beers and some snacks with my spouse at a local brewery
A chef salad and a calzone
Some soup ingredients at the grocery store that we didn't have quite enough of.
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.
A few beers at a brewery.
@pineapplelover@lemmy.dbzer0.com A charging/data cable for my Sony NWZ-s639f mp3 player.
*it wasn't in a sale or anything, I just needed one and it was coincidentally black friday
