Is It Just Me Or Were The Deals Terrible This Other Than TV Shopping?

Just ranting I guess, but it just seemed that way. Clothes, laptops, tools, appliances etc...all overpriced. TVs and gaming seemed to have sweet deals, but other than that, WTF???

Your on SD where everything is always on sale if you have the time to invest. This is tons better than this made up,hyped up, holiday sale, that really isn't a sale.
You can't make sense of it? Really? He is obviously saying that the deals sucked other than the TV deals. Of course all the the grammar Nazis are too stupid to understand on purpose because that's how they feel better about themselves. Did I get that right?

honestly, the deals that I got from Black Friday were price mistake, coupon glitch.

From last Wednesday through yesterday, I only got a Hydro Flask, a pair of shoes, four notNeutral coffee mugs, and a couple shirts. They weren't some crazy 80%+ off BF of years past, but they were all good 20%+ off deals on stuff I've specifically been looking to pick up for a while. And all but one was online, so they cost me almost nothing from a time perspective.
I refuse to pay more for something than it should be just because the retail gods decide they're going to push the pricing envelope to see if we accept it. I for one don't. And from my perspective, if more consumers didn't either they wouldn't be able to.gouge as much as they have been in recent years.
Remember from a few years back when the federal government busted and fined major tech manufacturers for the LCD panel price fixing? I do. And it's not just the price elevation that's irking me, It's also the cheapening of the quality while simultaneously raising prices. That's the part that really boils my blood.
In all honesty, yeah, I do without sometimes rather than give in. I do! I'm THAT guy. I've needed a laptop replacement for at least 3 years and have passed on the "deals" I saw here and elsewhere all year round AND black Friday because I refuse to bend over to take it in the finances. Besides my spiteful, cantankerous, indignation, I simply can't afford to. But that's my right. That's my power as a consumer.
But I digress.
I suppose I wouldn't have had to post my original question as a sanity check if more consumers were more like minded to my perspective...
