+25 Deal Score

Looking through the prices this morning is an inspiration to this post.

A 700+ dollar Apple watch and people think that's an amazing deal?? (that'scrazy.jpg)

Car chargers for phones at 30+ dollars?

No actual cellular phone deals other than a piece of garbage TCL phone with 4 gb ram?

A 300 dollar printer on the front page??

Retailers messing up black Friday sales so much that we as a whole aren't sure if Black Friday happened on the 21st or not??

Gone are the days of finding Amazon price mistakes (I still have 4 or 5 boat tubes that were 90% off) and having them honor the prices... getting paid to buy blank CD's... Storming compusa to buy their junky door busters..

Oh well, it wouldn't be BF without this thread.. here's to another year of not even luke warm deals!!

LMAO

I missed legendary deal: Order sennheiser hd 600 for $99 on Amazon.

There are some good deals for me but yeah this Black Friday is decent because of inflation?

I don't even think I am going to purchase anything on Black Friday. I was looking at some deals and laughing at the prices.

I'm pretty much done with SD. Is there an alternative site that is member run and not overly advertiser controlled?

Fatwallet was my happy place. Definitely my preferred site. It was sad to see them go. 😢

I posted a deal a week or two ago and it got over 20+ thumbs up but never went FP. Someone that was a pro poster, possibly staff just posted the same deal a couple days ago. It's got like 3 thumbs up. I reported it as a repost then they kept it up and marked my post expired. 🙄

I think there's some really great deals especially when you factor in inflation, logistics issues. Idk if there's still a huge premium on shipping containers or not but there's some things that are just crazy like $49 for all in one inkjet printers. I was getting those on BF in like 2005 for $19.99.

Other things are FP and they made FP multiple times this year so it doesn't seem like a BF deal and some are a little more than they've been. The other day BB had a $119.99 laptop that was $99.99 multiple times this summer. Amazon fire TVs are a huge disappointment. I was hoping they'd do the $110 Omni 55" again because I missed it for prime day 2.
