Congrats!
Thank you!
For a moment, I was confused why you would buy your wife pregnant clothing before you knew she was pregnant with a girl.
... Almost like he had something to do with it
That's great man, what an adventure you're starting!
Thanks! I am so excited about it

- Red wine (for cooking)
STEM toys for my neices and nephews. Especially the ones with religious parents.

Nothing, and I don’t plan to buy anything except normal stuff through January, either. I’m not doing Xmas this year, so very easy to avoid the spend.
Nothing fuck consumerism.
Milk, trash bags, and lube.
Oh and I bought my ex a pack of smokes because she sent me a couple nudes.
Good luck.
I didn't even pay for bus fare. I biked to work, biked home, and ate leftovers. Suck it, fake corporate holiday!
I didn't need anything so I didn't buy anything. 🤷
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'm not anti-capitalist, I'm just content with the things I have.

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

A box of 5x50 (metric) wood screws. Not because of black friday, but because I had ran out.
Was that yesterday? Didn't go shopping yesterday.
I made no purchases. I don't need much more than groceries and I have leftovers still for a few days.
Nothing related to black friday as I only did groceries.
Nothing I would not have bought any other time.
Stayed home. (Except a regular walk around the neighborhood.)
nothing and fuck all of you for participating in this scam.
I didn't buy anything
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
Nothing
Nice try, FBI
Not goddamn thing. Best Black Friday ever.
Friday night, so I got some treats to eat while we watched TV at home. Milk, cheese, crackers, chocolate chip cookies, and ice cream.
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.
Some degreaser and penetrating oil for a small engine one of my kids is trying to repair.
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.
An m8 and m10 bolt from ace hardware with corresponding washers. Big spender
Nothing because I don't care :)
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.
Nothing.
We're supposed to be holding a boycott until Dec 2nd.
Y'all are fucking pathetic who broke the line.
Most notably a new pack of coffee filters.
An excellent sausage and cheese toasted sandwich.
Had a video game gift card and decided to use it yesterday to maximize what I could get. As someone who used to be crazy into video games I haven't purchased anything in a long time. I brought 1 game at the beginning of the year and that has been it. So the plan was to try and get a few things that ive missed for cheap. In the end I got 3 games which were all around $30 each with a buy 2 get 1 free. With the membership extra $5 off and $50 card i spent $8 bucks on them. Sadly this morning when I went to pop one in the idiot store clerk never put the dam games in the case! I now have to go back today and argue... I really hate stores these days.
Gas
I got another ps5 controller, some coffee, some snacks, and a new bike headlight. most sales of stuff i wanted was like 10-20 bucks off, nothing significant. the coffee was the best deal, 30% off which saved me like $50.
