Black Friday 2018 (1 Viewer)

[Unicron]

It is upon us. What are we after? Thomann don't seem to have anything up about it.

Reverb are doing it.
I think Music Maker are doing Black Saturday.

I had my eye on some plugins but the one(s) I've had my eye on aren't on sale. The fuck do I want 3 different types of mix bus compressors for Steven Slate?

I am unusually broke this Black Friday, as I spent all my money on bread in Copenhagen, so I'm abstaining, though I'm not happy about it.

But in terms of clothes, I saw some horror stories about fast-fashion brands like Zara and so on jacking the prices of their clothes by like 20% about a month before BF, and then lowering them to the original price for an OMG BLACK FRIDAY SALE. Which made me think so much of this shit is a bullshit scam.

I'd be surprised if it was that obvious (although...) but i'm sure they factor the various sales into the price when doing their yearly budgets and stocktaking back in January or whenever.

I heard about that kind of thing, too. So unbelievably illegal. Still... BUY BUY BUY.

100% without a doubt they win out in the end, but if I can make a real ass saving, I'm on board.

I tried to find a capitalism meme to insert here to make us chuckle, but jesus it was a slog looking through them.

SELF CARE TIPS

I need to buy a new mattress. Pretty much the only time I could ever get one.

I need a bed. Have been sleeping on a mattress on the floor for ages now.

My old gym is doing a black friday offer. I'll probably buy that as I was going to get back into that anyway. Also we bought our son a reconditioned phone at a Black Friday sale price the other day. So, handy for things that you need anyway, that's it.

WOW.

Mindful shopping.

Just add two levels of side-eye irony and a final "but i really mean it, my life is so stressful" bit on top and you're good to tweet.

I made the mistake of having a look the MacBooks to see if I could ever afford one. Same price as my car. OK, won't be buying that SO.

There are a few tracker apps for amazon where you can track a product price over a few months. Loads of price changes over a year.

Anyone here ever bought one of those internet mattresses?

No, but I tell you what, RuPauls podcast has definitely sold me on my need for a Casper.
