Oops I did it again (2024 Black Friday edition)

So, what did you buy that you didn’t intend to buy this year?

Now is the time to confess your sins!

(Repentance is optional.)

I can’t decide whether I should get a compact elliptical machine or a treadmill to store under my bed. :laughing:

I was so tempted by a few things. In the end I didn’t buy anything. Have 2 kids to sort for Christmas so trying to save money.

I would have probably liked to have got either a decent gaming PC. Or another asus rog ally for my partner.

No sadly my bed is a single size. I might just skip buying either and save cash! :sweat_smile:

I didn’t buy anything this year. I’m usually fairly specific about what I want and don’t really take advantage of Black Friday. But years ago I got a new ps4 for $300 during this time. It wasn’t so much impulse as I was in the market for one.

Damn I’m kinda wanting to sell my gaming setup. I’ll probably go Facebook market place if I do sell it.

I spent about $10usd on these.

So I can connect a usb drive to my android phone. I’m not even sure if I’m going to use them.

Marketplace is a good place to sell stuff. I’ve sold plenty on there. Sometimes you do get people messing you about though which is very annoying. Especially when you have put something for free on there and they don’t turn up for it or want you to deliver it for them as well.

So that’s like a back up generator that you can fill up at your house and take out on the road with you?

I haven’t bought anything yet this year for Black Friday. Car repair bill was $306, which is not bad since they installed a new engine block heater for free. The $306 was for a new battery and labor. At least the car works again…

The roof of the trailer is large enough for 6x200w solar panels. I’m also adding another 2000kwh of expansion battery to it later.

The absorbption fridge can run off of propane for a week easily and 4000kwh of power with solar top up through the day powers everything with lots of headroom including the flatscreen up in the bedroom. Haven’t decided if I am taking that out, though.

The power box is the first part of my electrical upgrade.

I replaced my 3 year old Instant Pot with a brand new one. I paid $110 for mine back in 2021 and this one was on sale for $69.
