Black Friday buys
Did you guys venture out in the madness? I did not, but bought stuff on Amazon.
I've been on a roll buying new Husky tool carts from Home Depot. Saw a 3 tier cart with a single drawer on Amazon and bought that. Also bought a no name 18" cordless chainsaw to accompany my 16" corded one. Looked for spare batteries for the no name and found a 450 ft/lb 1/2" impact gun from the same no name company with 2 batteries and charger. Cost for the impact gun/batteries/charger was $70, extra batteries would be $40+, so the impact gun was sort of free. lol

I did not buy anything specifically because it was black Friday, but ordered off Amazon a few things I needed for work.

I melted the interior of my Ridgid shop vac yesterday so I had to go to Lowes for a new DeWalt vac.
 A word of advice. When you're cleaning the ash out of your pellet stove don't suck up any of the glowing bits!

Might have been a nice place to be when my mom was growing up there, and I loved the restaurants when visiting my grandparents for a weekend, but you couldn't pay me a million dollars a year to live there.

Shop neighbor bought two Makita batteries with a charger for $200. Normally high $300's. An "extra" came with the package. Another tool or a third battery. He took the 3rd battery. All 5AH.
A 6AH was available but if I understand what he said for the deal the 6AH eliminates the 2nd 5AH battery and the extra item. In his case give up two 5AH's for a 6AH.

Nope, no way in hell am I going out into the insanity unless I have to. I'm not going to deal-with/fight crowds for crap. I'm sure that there are deals out there. I suspect the number of actual deals are minimal and designed to work people into a spending frenzy where they then buy a bunch of crap that's not a deal. If I hear about something that I wanted that is actually on sale, then I may order it online, but I'm very unlikely to go out and deal with the public.

I bought some cold weather overbooties for my cycling shoes. (online)
55 bucks instead of 77. The cycling industry is incorrigible when it comes to pricing; it's getting as bad as skiing ever was.

Nothing on Friday as I was driving from Ohio back to Chicago. I-80 was empty, so I enjoyed the drive. I did but some power tools at HD on Monday as they had several deals.

I was in two stores yesterday...Menards and Meijer. For a Friday mid-morning, neither seemed any busier than normal.
I think on-line shopping is most of the reason why.
