Greedy consumerism instead of spending time with the important people in your life is obscene. Enjoy your cheap plastic trinkets a child built for you. Btw your grandma died while you saved 15 cents!

Also a good cordless will last a long time, even with heavy use. My old job involved drilling 3/8" holes in schedule 40 steel pipe, thousands of these holes a year. We would get maybe 2-4 years out of the Makita cordless guns we used.

We should just go the full the mile and start crucifying people as sacrifices to appease the various retail gods. Like just have a person nailed to the happy face at walmart above the front doors, so as people enter they are given a tiny sprinkle of blood.

As much as you should always wear safety goggles when using a grinder, you should really always wear safety goggles when using harbor freight discs, they seem to really like to explode.

On Black Friday, Target had a bunch of smart blu-ray players for $50. I didn't know what a typical smart blu-ray player costs, so I looked it up. Turns out a decent model is only $60-70, and the ones they had on sale were old models with bad ratings. And that is basically 75% of Black Friday "sales."

I prefer open box or display sales in the fall, you still get the warranty and poo poo.

Of course, since money rules my every action, I'm still a capitalist of pig-dog for it.

whenever i see something when I'm window shopping or just otherwise at a store that I'm tempted to get because it's on "sale" I just google it's price on amazon. Probably at least 75% of the time it's cheaper online without a sale, and 95% of the time I don't end up getting it once I've had more time to think about it than "well I could buy it now".

I once went to a target black friday to get a TV that was a then-good deal in like 2010. I had one goal in mind: buying the TV, and was like 5th in line. I was in and out while the rest were filing in, and when they saw me emerge with the TV, the teeming herd filtering in CHEERED. I was kind of stunned, if I have a few more moments to register what was happening I would have held it over my head like a slain foe or something.

I did it once, also for a tv, it was a good enough deal that it made my dorm room the movie watching room at school. I was back home for the week and waited in line and it turns out my friend from high school was working there, and proceeded to spend 25+ minutes of his busy-as-hell black friday shift bullshitting with me in line to pay.
