Seriously, Fuck Black Friday. Fuck the weeks before raising prices. Fuck the pretend 75% off of a piece of shit item that costs 5 bucks to make. Fuck making that item and marking it up 500%. Fuck not paying the person making that item a living wage. Fuck making a trinket that leverages a desperate person’s full day of labour away from their families.
There is no Thanks I’m giving here…And specifically a big fucking middle finger to the Amazon that takes lives and makes this world a shittier place.
Save the real Amazon by killing off the namesake corporation.
Fuck you Bezos, I hope your yacht fucking sinks while you and your plastic wife are aboard having botched elective surgeries.
I’ve found the bitching about prices going up to present bigger discounts to be mostly not true unless you are just mindlessly buying small cheap shit.
I’ve definitely saved some money shopping today.
Yeah, it does happen, but it’s mostly shitty companies that do that.
Yeah, I know I’m in the minority in the fediverse on this but for the last few months (for some of what I wanted, about 10 months) I’ve kept glancing at a few things that weren’t urgent but would be needed soonish, and now the prices have all come down a good chunk for Black Friday.
I get if you’re randomly scrolling amazon looking for deals, yeah, that’s garbage. But if you’ve been patient, with actual specific ideas…
Bingo. I basically think about what I"m going to buy in the next six months and list it up and then buy it on black friday if it’s below the normal price. And usually it is.
I just bought 6 bags of $25 coffee for $15 each. Bought a bunch of summer stuff that I will use next year. Saved 60 bucks on what I was going to buy anyway. Didn’t buy any games this year because nothing I wanted was more than $10 off and it will be cheaper after the holidays, but most years I buy all my gaming stuff for the year on black friday.
