Setting aside all the consumerism comments I’m sure my fellow Lemmy users will fill us in about - you don’t want any black Friday deals. I worked electronics retail for almost a decade and saw it.
Black Friday “deals” aren’t percentages off products you want. For the most part they are shittier models with a letter different from their normal model number. These special black Friday models are made with parts that failed qa or just all around are cheaper. The companies don’t just magically take 20% off, they plan for it.
That $100 dollar 48" flat screen? Yeah it’s worth $100. Hope it was worth giving up time in your holidays to buy, because there’s a decent chance you’ll be returning it when it breaks.
(Tip for those buying tvs. Super bowl is the best time of year to buy a TV. They’re the actual good models and it’s the best sales of the year. Stores are in the post holiday slump and eager to move them.)
