Ask Lemmy

I bought my wife pregnancy clothing, and found out I’m having a girl!

Nothing

Well it was a regular work day for me, so I bought lunch

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.

• Eggs
• Cheese (Grated Mozarella and "Pizza Cheese")
• Cream cheese
• Pizza Dough (pre-rolled-out)
• Tortelloni
• Swabian raviolis
• Tomato purée
• Tomato paste
• Sauce hollandaise
• Red wine (for cooking)

Nothing fuck consumerism.

STEM toys for my neices and nephews. Especially the ones with religious parents.

I am their sciencefather

Milk, trash bags, and lube.

Oh and I bought my ex a pack of smokes because she sent me a couple nudes.

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.

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.

I made no purchases. I don't need much more than groceries and I have leftovers still for a few days.

Was that yesterday? Didn't go shopping yesterday.

Nothing related to black friday as I only did groceries.

Nothing I would not have bought any other time.

nothing and fuck all of you for participating in this scam.

Not goddamn thing. Best Black Friday ever.

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.

Nothing

I didn't buy anything

Nice try, FBI

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.

Nothing.

We're supposed to be holding a boycott until Dec 2nd.

Y'all are fucking pathetic who broke the line.

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.

Some degreaser and penetrating oil for a small engine one of my kids is trying to repair.

An m8 and m10 bolt from ace hardware with corresponding washers. Big spender

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 because I don't care :)

Groceries

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.

Gas

Most notably a new pack of coffee filters.

Some soup ingredients at the grocery store that we didn't have quite enough of.
