Black Friday 2019

[ElFenix]

This one is REALLY bad. I can usually find something that will make me go "meh" and order 1 or 2 items.

This year there is literally nothing.

I just got back from a Total Wine - there were about 50 people lined up before it opened for some exclusive barrel aged beers lol... I was one of them

if i was in town i'd have probably been at the new one around the corner from me. alas, i'm elsewhere.

missed an eos m100 with lens for $315 while i was driving yesterday. kinda want one with the 22mm lens as a pocket cam.

Online at Amazon this year. Saved some money on computer parts, including getting a Ryzen cpu at list price . Saved some decent money on a sit stand desk (my PT convinced me I need one because of my back problems).

No shave cream or Tide pods.

No shave cream or Tide pods.

Your co workers would appreciate it.




Tried an inversion table for the back?

Oh, saw a short video of Best Buy on the news this morning, decent amount of customers but no mob. 10 years ago it would be a mad house. ~15 years ago my brother and I lined up with coffee in hand at 5am to get in on a really good video card deal. There were already ~50 people in line before us, at least that many came after us - it was a mad rush to get the best deals.

Haven’t talked to the PT about that yet. Getting the feeling that I maybe heading to surgery . MRI looked pretty bad, same problems as my mom had. Boo on inherited genetic morphology.

Ordered a Ninja Foodie grill off amazon but no other shopping...

i did get some taco bell gift cards because i eat an embarrassing amount of taco bell.

Probably should also look for deals on some bulk Charmin Ultra Strong toilet paper as well then.

y'all weak-stomached SOBs can keep your taco johns.

I think weak assed SOBs would be more correct in this instance.

pretty sure the term is cloaca.

 

[Ajay]

pretty sure the term is cloaca.

Ew, no. Not in placental mammals which have 2-3 orifices for the evacuation of waste and sexual reproduction. So I guess it’s just weak anused SOBs. Thanks for making me learn something today %^)

Ordering prints to hang on a wall, and a sculpture. About it.

Raging deal on that one Olympus camera is very tempting ... oy vey ... lots of temptation out there.

Also an extra large tube of "Preparation H" !!!


And I had to stop by Walmart about 7:30 am this morning to snag a perscription ... was expecting the worst but the store was only slightly busier then any normal early Friday morning.

I'll be buying the Google Pixel 3a from the Google Store today. Besides that, I just went out to look around yesterday afternoon and ended up buying a new pair of Vans shoes and some socks.

Those $180 12TB WD drives at BestBuy are extremely tempting, though I can only assume that's the new "sale" price going forward. I could use a few of those pretty soon.

the em10 mark III plus 14-42 for 400$? that is a nice deal, i finally got my mark II when it got to that price a few years ago.

or are you looking at something more pro

 

[clamum]

Picked up a Lenovo Flex 14 for muh pappy. I actually braved it and went to Best Buy first cause I wanted to get my hands on a Surface Go after I happened to scan a review and they complained about the cramped keyboard.

Well yeah, the keyboard fucking blows on the Surface Go; I was making tons of mistakes typing and I even have the Surface Pro so I'm used to a bit smaller one. No way he'd like that.

Almost went with an HP Pavilion x360 but the Lenovo was $50 cheaper and had better hardware.

Also got a Trijicon RMR on Thanksgiving but I dunno if it was even on sale, lol. But it was a good price I think. Gonna put it on my P229 after I get the slide milled. Can't wait for that!

Looking at something more entry-level micro-4/3s ... the E-PL8 for $289, WITH 14-42 lens.
I already have that lens, and could sell it for $80 no doubt, slashing my cost further.

Might be happier with the EM10 you mentioned. I'm kind of worried of cost-cutting in upcoming camera releases, so ... feeling pressure to bite now, whether I have the money or not.

Don't really need a camera though. It would be an upgrade to my E-PL6. Maybe I could sell the EPL6 for $100 though ... hmm.

Report back if that thing is any good please!

 

[Exterous]

Just snagged some killer deals on dog food. A few $15 off $50 Chewy coupons arrived by snail mail today so I looked and my dog's food was on sale for 50% off on their website. Plus I was able to stack with the 50% off promo when you do autoship (max $25). So I got 34lbs of dog food for the same price I normally buy 10lbs for.

Finally got a smart lock for the front door.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0752XNC8M/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Auto-lock & unlock via proximity (bluetooth)... best convenience ever. Between that and keyless ignition, no more taking out keys period. I don't carry a wallet anymore either.

They're really nice...I got a Schlage with a keypad a few years ago & it's super nice because I can also do guest codes for when people visits to friends need to pop by to pick something up & I'm not home. I haven't had to use a key in ages! It's the small things

It’s legit! Used my cousins at his place before deciding to get rid of my stand alone air fryer and replace it with this. Love the fact I can grill ribs and single steaks without having to use my Weber...

how did these deals not set off my alerts?!? kinda want an em10mk3

did see an LX100 for $400, though that's a 5(!) year old camera at this point

Does it actually sear properly, and how's the smoke levels? I have a tiny, non-ventilated kitchen & my 10x10' concrete pad at my rental is all the way downstairs, which makes cooking outside a hassle. It would be nice to not smoke out the kitchen, haha!
