Black Friday is coming up!
Amazon and other online websites usually do a bunch of sales and such then, right? :think:
Do any of you guys have some sort of system to learn about deals you’d be interested in, without having to trawl through everything?

I go to the deals sections in the search box then type in the items I am looking for. There are search box headings like gold box, lightening, and last year had a black friday header. Those are located in the left end of the search box

Yeah, I’ve been browsing the deals section. :tu:
But there’s a lot of stuff that I’d only remember to search for if I see it by accident at a too-good-to-pass-up price. :rofl:

No such thing here.
Although...
These last 2 years some online and physical stores did "black friday deals"
Which usualy means 10-20% off :facepalm:

Lol!

Top tip:
Eat half an hour before shopping. Shopping hungry makes you buy crap that you later wish you hadn't.

If I hadn´t eaten I´d buy snacks instead of SAKs :D

Shopping itself makes me buy crap that later I wish I hadn't!

I know that works for grocery shopping. Never tried to apply it to black Friday shopping :D

It translates to all forms of shopping. It's quite similar to what is a large part of smoking addictions. Confused needs. You might feel a little hungry or thirsty for example, but that mistranslates to wanting a cigarette. Then soon after, you get the "need" again because you didn't eat/drink the first time, so you have another cigarette. :D it's only when the need gets severe, that it's clear that it's not a cigarette you need. I'm an occasional light smoker now, but kicking the habit initially was aided greatly by trying to retune my "cravings", and attempt to understand what my body really needed at the time. As it turned out, only 4 or 5 of the 40 I was smoking were cigarette urges, and the rest was oxygen (deep breaths), fluids, food, sleep, or something else entirely, like needing a life problem resolved. Once I recalibrated that side, quitting 5 cigs a day was relatively easy.
Likewise, if shopping hungry, your brain knows you have a need, and you end up trying to satisfy the need (incorrectly) by putting stuff into your (real or virtual) shopping trolley. It's only after you satisfy the real need, that you look at what you bought before, and think "what the smurf did I buy that for?"
:facepalm:
Try it. It works.

Turn off my alarm?

My sistem for dealing with sales: I ignore them. I refuse to participate in anything which is basically mind games.
Once in a hardware store there was a sale where you had to press a big red button to randomly assign a discount percentage. I refused to do it. Lets just say that people behind me in the queue got quite angry with me. The clerk didn't know how to proceed without that action. In the end a person behind me pressed the button instead of me.
Yeah, yeah, I know. I can be a real smurf at times...
:D
Edit: I don't appear to english all that well... :facepalm:

We joke that there are places so remote in Namibia that it received 10mm of rain during the biblical great flood......
Well, last year some idiot decided Namibia will have a Black Friday, and now this sickening event is a thing..... :facepalm:
:puke:
-
I keep a list of things I'd like but am not prepared to pay full price on (and don't NEED immediately), when I see them on sale, buy it then.

Pretty much this. There's a store I buy stuff from. Sometimes, they have a full day without shipping costs or with articles with 40% discount. If any of those are on my want list, I buy them.
