I bought a laptop for my wife online today. Pretty good deal.

17 shotguns
3 pistols
12 assault rifles
3 HD televisons
4 lbs of beef jerky
11 bibles
3 pairs of sweatpants
4 pairs of compression socks
1 deep fryer
12 cartons of cigarettes

it was a great way to spend the morning.

You forgot the ammunition, Bob.

Who the hell needs 17 shotguns? I can understand the assault rifles, I mean it is just too easy to burn the barrel out of those, but 17 shotguns - you don't need more than three.

I am really beginning to think you just don't understand home defense.

oh, I understand home defense, all right. Guns and bibles.. bibles and guns.

oh, and not only do I have an absolute arsenal of weapons, I hired someone to build a wall around my estate.

Then, as he was finishing up the last brick, I called ICE on him. It was pretty funny.

Bought the same one for my daughter earlier today.

This isn't really a black friday comment, but I bought something online last week. The UPS tracking says it arrived at the UPS center less than 5 miles from my house last night. Scheduled delivery is Wednesday. WTF? Are they going to just let that sit around in their warehouse until they HAVE to deliver it? "Well, we told them it would get delivered by Wednesday, but it was only coming from Jacksonville to Miami, so it got in town 2 days early. But nah, let's not deliver it and let it take up space in our building because they didn't pay for 2 day shipping, even though it doesn't cost us anything to deliver it now."

We'll see, maybe we'll get it tomorrow or something. I've seen them sit on stuff for a couple of days before. Makes no sense to me.

It will sit there until they have to deliver it. I ordered some golf clubs a few years ago. I think they were sent ground with 7-10 business days to deliver. They made it to Hialeah in 3 days, and then sat there for about 5 days, before moving to another post office and delivering on the 10th day.

Not a deal per se, but amazon has blue fingerlings in stock - the hottest toy this year (limit one).

I would rather pay more money, than go out shopping for Black Friday. Or any other crazy shopping days.

Thinking about buying one of those instant pot pressure cookers.

Anyone have one? I was going to get a rice cooker but those claim they can cook rice and then some.

I think we have one. I've used it a time or two, but it scares me a little when I'm trying to depressurize it and take the lid off.. ya know, after what that dude did with it at that marathon.

this.

I didn't go to college to stand outside at 4:00 in the morning with a bunch of mouthbreathers to save 12 dollars on something I don't even need.

I’m sure you’re being funny, but I wouldn’t call them mouthbreathers. Many people need to save those few dollars, but it’s just not worth it to me.

I hope I never need a television that bad.

Same.

I also the other reason why I don’t care is that I loathe shopping. Many people get a “high” from shopping and it doesn’t do anything like that for me. I see it as cleaning the bathroom. And I would much rather clean the bathroom than go shopping.

You know how out of the loop I am on things? I had to look up what a Doc Marten was that Ghost posted.

yep - right there with ya. I don't know what the heck is being discussed here probably around 56.7% of the time.

of course, I don't let that stop me from having an opinion on it, though.

Just bought one. I mainly bought it for making rice, and beans but people swear by them. Looks like it’s good for making Indian food as well. will have to try to make my own vindaloo after I get my septic tank pumped.

Fortunately you dont need to leave your couch for a lot of deals. Seems like most Black Friday deals were available online. Best Buy had tons of their BF deals available online a couple of weeks ago on the day their specials were released. Then again on Thanksgiving Day. Walmart, Office Depot, and a lot of other places also made most of their deals available online all day Thanksgiving.

I am liking that better to do Christmas shopping. If only my damn family would tell me what they want for Christmas when that rolls around. Never happens though.

You can buy the Docs for Life shoes/boots for like $200 and they have a lifetime warranty. I have a bunch of pairs of shoes and added the Chelsea boot and the wingtips to my collection this week.

sweet.

I have these:



and these:

went out tonight for a couple things

I haven't found a damned thing to get excited about this year.

Belle Tire has sets of 4 tires for I think $220 off tomorrow and Saturday. I guess I need new tires because the ones I paid $900 for 2.5 years ago are bald as fuck. Don't buy Pirelli's. Also maybe I drive like a crazy person, not sure.

I need 3 (maybe 4) new phones and the deals are pretty meh this year.

Sorry it has been such a down year for you. I hope 2019 brings some joy and happiness to your life.

Solid time to get smart home devices. Picked up a couple more echo dots. Been traveling a decent amount for work so also got some noise canceling headphones since they rarely go on sale

Hate that most phone deals are generally tied to activating new lines

Looking to buy a mattress tomorrow. Merry Christmas, Mrs. GreenWay, let’s break this baby in.

It's a Goodyear credit card I believe, and I used it to buy my Pirelli's 2.5 years ago so prob will use it again tomorrow. 0% interest for a year.

I'm going to Discount Tire tomorrow morning. Should be fun.

We went last night shopping.

-Dunham's - not busy at all, got some fire kicks and a Yeti Colster


-Macy's/Crossroads Mall - Macy's was flooded because there are lots of products that are "free" after a mail-in rebate. Mall was dead.

-Best Buy - long-ass lines but the crowds were really well managed. Got Madden NFL 19 and some gifts.

-Walmart - ruthless people. I told my wife it's not the time to let people through and be nice, as they are pricks. Some lady heard me and gave me a mean look, then I explained I am a former retail manager and know how people are. We agreed. Walked out with nothing, I am in the market for a new computer though.

-Target - not too bad... lines were huge but once again well managed.

Ask them what the mileage warranty was. Many Pirelli's are warranted to 60,000.

I'm thinking of getting a set of Blizzaks, I should probably check with them and see what their prices are like.
