Thread: Helping the economy, the what you bought black friday/cyber monday thread

Well most of the deals will probably be gone but I figure since we don't have hockey some of us might be excited about whatever it is they've found for purchase over the holiday weekend or coming up. Myself I'm not a very good shopper. Only thing I managed to get that I thought was funny since it was the first time I stepped in a store since last year was a Sheldon Bobblehead

only $12 with free shipping through prime.
My wife was all excited about a new camera, it's point and click Panasonic Lumix ZS15 12.1 MP High Sensitivity MOS Digital Camera with 16x Optical Zoom (Silver) for $175 which seems like a decent price anyway. Hopefully we did well there.
Anyone else find anything of interest?

Just bought some things for myself...

- Xbox Live 12 month renewal on Newegg for $35 bucks. Regular price is normally $60 for a year.
- Amazon Lightning Deal. Snagged NBA2K13 for $25. (Wanted this during release date but bought too many other games at the time like Pokemon Black 2 and White 2, WWE13, and BlackOps 2.)

I picked up a few video games myself.....

-NHL 2003 for the Gamecube. $1 plus $1.99 shipping. This was a great deal considering the original price was $60....

dammit now I've been suckered into looking for nhl 94 again....

haven't managed to get anything i really want via the amazon lightning deals. just a safe for my jewels, but i'm not as pumped about that purchase as i would've been for gifts for the kids. still looking and wait listing stuff!

Nothing too exciting or mind blowing.

-A pair of earrings for my friend who finally pierced her ears in her 30s.
- Some Legos for said friend who has taken up Lego building.
- Instead of giving gifts with my aunts/uncles this year, we're going to donate toys to charity so I picked up some toys when out today.

Did some Small Business Saturday shopping and bought some yarn and knitting/crochet hooks for me. Looks like I'm going to be having surgery soon and want some things to keep me occupied. Stupid cancer.

I dumped > $100 on the $4 DVD's at Amazon for my kids/Wife/Mom/Nephew.

I'd already mostly prepped the Xmas wishlists for the kids, and just went through and grabbed everything that was a decent discount today. Best was a the bundle copy of Rockband for the Xbox for less than $100, and the giant Lego Star Wars Malevolence for half price.

Wife grabbed my Monster a Kick Scooter on Black Friday. I had already ordered my Daughter a new iPad for her Birthday (12/20) last week in fear that it wouldn't get here in time, and it shipped today. She's getting a Bike upgrade from the local Bike Shop for Xmas. What size do you get for an 11 year old?

For the most part, I think I'm mostly done.

A 6 pack of beer.

I bought my son a new wetsuit with a Cyber Monday 10% discount plus free shipping. Nice deal on a new model O'Neill.
