Black Friday 2024 deals

[old tex]

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 this thread! 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.

Well last night I found 2 of the deals that I was looking for in a Kohl's add. I ordered both another B&D vacuum (mostly for the battery) & a Keurig Duo coffee makes. The whole thing went smooth right up until I saw where I had to pick them up at......Dallas. In other words, I screwed up. I spent this morning canceling one of the items, can't cancel the other one until it arrives, then I have to call & cancel it. I then ordered "correctly" & those will be shipped to me. And yes, I saved more than a pretty penny.

PS: The keurig coffee pot I see problems with & would have rather had the other Duo which was cheaper. The wife picked the one that I bought. Happy wife, happy life.

I could tell. Maybe I need to edit what I said.

I don't know what the black Friday stuff is all about. We go shopping when we need something, and on Tuesday's if possible. The farm/ranch store down south has 10% off for old timers on Tuesday. So we'll be going shopping tomorrow.
