Black Friday 2023 deals

If you find any good Black Friday deals that you'd like to share, you can post them here for others to see.

A few of my finds (I had researched these things weeks ago and decided to purchase them back then, so I was ready to search for Black Friday sales on them):

Portable tire inflator:
https://www.homedepot.com/p/RIDGID-18V-Cordless-Portable-Inflator-Tool-Only-R87044/313257505If you buy this inflator at Home Depot and register it within 90 days, you get free lifetime repair (parts and labor). It comes with a plug to power it from your car's cigarette lighter socket, but you can (optional, extra cost) buy a lithium battery and charger for it. But those two things cost way more than the charger itself. And what is the chance that you'll have a flat tire AND a dead car battery at the same time anyway?

I like those spice jars. I want some. Only problem is, I don't know what I'd do with them. But they would be absolutely fantastic if you grow or mix your own spices!

(me trying to think up a reason why I need to buy them)

If you're an amateur radio operator or are planning to become one, this is an excellent deal: Xiegu G90 HF Radio | SDR | QRP | Auto Antenna Tuner | 20W | Remote Head

I have a G90 and it is a great radio. And $399 is an excellent price. Radioddity is a good company - I'd do business with them again.

My secondary computer monitor started flickering and powering itself down yesterday. Perfect timing if something is going to fail. So I started searching Black Friday deals for the cheapest replacement monitor I could find. My secondary monitor is not used much - I have it in vertical orientation for when I need to work on a very tall spreadsheet, document or list. I don't care about color accuracy, speed, five million inputs, etc. - I just want a monitor that works (and has a VESA mount so I can attach it to my stand a put it into vertical orientation). I can fit a max of a 24" monitor where it goes on my desk. My main horizontal monitor is larger.

Cheapest 24" monitor that I could find:

https://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/dell-24-monitor-se2422h/apd/210-ayxt/monitors-monitor-accessories
Dell brand. $69 with free shipping. They also have a 27" version of the same monitor for $99 direct from Dell, or $89 at OfficeMax/OfficeDepot. But I can't quite squeeze a 27" vertically where I need it to go. Plus, a vertical monitor this size sitting right next to your elbow is kind of like sitting in the front row of a movie theater. It's rather big and intimidating.

I have a 32" curved monitor at work as my primary. But when the techs were setting it up, I made them leave a 24" vertical. I use it constantly for spreadsheets and such. Very handy indeed.

While I HATE shopping in stores, I don't mind doing some comparison shopping or just looking for deals on line. So that's what I have been doing for the past few days. I'm thinking that I wouldn't mind having another B&D battery vacuum for "just in case" because I like the one we have so much & I'd have a spare battery. And my wife suggested replacing our regular coffee maker & K cup maker with a single unit that does both.

The coffee maker search has turned up some interesting results (on Amazon btw). It seems that the one I'm looking for, no matter what I put in the search line, doesn't come up. Somehow I feel like I'm being manipulated by Amazon. Just thought that I would point it out to others.

Thanks for bringing this thread back up! I was thinking that we needed to see some recommendations.

Black friday here lasts for about a week, but really is a bit of a scam. For instance, two weeks back my son bought a desk from Amazon for 30 straight price- this week its 47 before any deal.
However I managed to get a decent online deal on a laptop for son in college by combining a 'deal' and my own student card for extra discount. Got 250 off- He can have it for Christmas. Planning on also combining student card with BF deals and points card in large chemist here, (drugstore) to stock up on cod liver oil and over the counter anti inflammatory and cold/flu tabs. They've doubled in price since covid- a pack of twelve is now 13quid.

Weedygarden I've found that people are fully or maybe I'm just strange. I love to hear about product that do a good job & don't cost a lot of money. Mostly though I read about people praising expensive items. To me that's like saying look at me I can afford something like this. I just want the best "thing" that I can get for the money. My great example on that was the handheld Dyson vac we bought. No doubt about it, it was a great little vacuum, but I paid $400 for it on sale. It randomly stopped up, you never knew when it would stop or why it would stop & it totally died after 2 years. That's paying $200 per year just to vacuum your floors & I find that insane. Hell I can pay someone to vacuum my house for about that much. So I replaced it with my little cheapie vacuum from B&D (a company that gets a bad rap because they are compared to much higher cost items). I think that if I go over an area twice, it does just as good of a job as a Dyson. And the battery lasts so much longer that it has the juice to let me do that & then some. I'll never buy another Dyson but I'm going to pick up another B&D vac just to have a spare & to get another battery (which is half the price of the whole unit).

I guess my motto is save money when you can so that you will have extra money so you don't have to cheap out when you want to buy better.
