Nothing I would not have bought any other time.
Ham sandwich.
I bought some new games off Steam and some Magic the Gathering cards I wanted that were on sale.
Burger buns. Salad greens. Tinned pineapple.
Tinned pineapple?
Yeah, pineapple pieces in tins.
As you already know, I love pineapples, but unsure about this so-called 'tinned pineapple'. You're not a fan of fresh pineapples?
I don't need a whole pineapple to cook a hawaiian pizza.
Certainly not, but you can use the leftover pineapple to make a cake, some soup, pineapple juice, a smoothie, some cookies, eating it raw, etc. Just something to have in mind.
Pineapple soup?
The sky is the limit
Bought some handmade Christmas ornaments at a locally owned gift shop and some jewelry at a locally owned thrift shop. Some for me, some for gifts. Nothing was on sale, I was just showing some visiting family what a cute little town I live in.
Was that yesterday? Didn't go shopping yesterday.
Friday night, so I got some treats to eat while we watched TV at home. Milk, cheese, crackers, chocolate chip cookies, and ice cream.
Nothing related to black friday as I only did groceries.
I got a second hand ThinkPad W520 for about $30USD. I already have one, but this was too good of a deal to pass.
Paid my water bill.
Some degreaser and penetrating oil for a small engine one of my kids is trying to repair.
My router was flaking out so I bought some CAT6, I had forgotten it was Black Friday until I got to the store, but the place wasn’t noticeably crowded.
Also, though I have not paid for it yet, I dropped my jet skis off to be serviced and winterized.
VPN.
(2-year subscription for Proton came to $71.76) I wasn’t planning on buying anything anyway but during these dark times, VPN is a necessity IMO.
A sausage roll.
Is this actually a specific day somewhere?
All the online shops I know are having "black Friday" for some weeks and I don't know (and don't care) when it ends.
Traditionally, Black Friday only meant that Friday after Thanksgiving, but as things started being more online-centric, I guess stores extend those sales
An m8 and m10 bolt from ace hardware with corresponding washers. Big spender
Bunch of lumber and stuff I was already planning on buying as I finish my basement, like a laser level.
I was going to buy the Lego Star Trek enterprise, but it was sold out before I got there. Oh well, they saved me from myself with artificial supply restrictions.
Instead, I didn't buy anything.
A new shop vac because I happened to need it and it happened to be on sale.
I bought a single €2 snack while walking through a Christmas market. Other than that, it was a day of riding public transit (monthly pass), walking through parks, and eating a packed lunch.
Out of pocket total: €2.
Goodness gracious, the way everybody on Lemmy claims to be anti-capitalist, the majority of answers better be "nothing".
Edit: ITT: people offended at being lumped in with the rabble.
a ton of users don't claim to be anti-capitalist.
being anti-capitalist is performative outside of those who are living off grid or dumpster diving anyway.
