I thought my post did a better job of virtue signaling. This one seemed to lack the venom and vigor of contrarian support for the opposing opinion.

I was just looking at NVME and RAM prices. Buying those things is a nightmare. I haven't found any larger storage NVME lately but I was given some nice 8gb hdds for media and backups. Also, haven't found ddr5 but found some free ddr4 for some servers.

Ery day is Buy Nothing Day

Hahaha. Yeah buddy. You sound like you are partaking in the grand old tradition of American Style Sarcasm! Fun. I enjoy the more refined Pisstake that the British so skillfully employ.

Yeah I agree. Planning what you need definitely helps. I usually make a list and discover I can either buy local, get the shit for free, or in six months I don't really need it.

Yeah true. I saved a ton by not buying anything

Same. I just enjoy rants against the machine.

Sounds like a great day. Sorry about the cold. Unless you enjoy cough syrup. No judgement.

This year I'm thankful for the detainment and deportation of my mother in law who crossed the US border to purchase Chinese manufactured products for Black Friday.

Um, this is a bad joke that is in poor taste...enjoy if you partake. I am aware of the seriousness of border detainments - hence joke.

If you live in a government or university (or tech industry) town the tech churn happens often. I don't always need the most modern stuff for gaming so ewaste supplies a lot of useful shit for me. Sport stuff can usually be bought from rich quitters for cheap. Same with work stuff (especially blue collar work stuff like workboots). Although, I definitely treat myself to quality sport stuff purchases from time to time.

I feel cleaner having shared the thought though! Now the day feels better somehow.

I was ranting more about having another day that gives corporations an excuse to promote consumption. I rarely buy things. Deals that save money on useful shit are awesome though. I won't be critical of you saving cash.
