Maybe I’m crazy, but I remember Black Friday deals being so good that if you DIDNT buy it you’d feel like an idiot. As my wife so elegantly put “I expect a price so cheap I’m willing to stomp someone to death for it” | I guess it depends what you're looking for. My wife and I are expecting next month and we bought a few items for the baby that usually never go on sale. An Uppababy Cruz stroller regular $730, we got it for $584, a childrens playmat regular $140 and we got it for $112. Also saved $6-$10 on a few smaller items like bottles, pacifiers, butt cream (LOL). That's over $200 saved on items we need.

Anyone see a deal for an external hard drive?
Don't need anything fancy, whatever's a decent price will do.

Most of the stuff on sale right now is likely to never go back up in price, especially tech.

I caved in and bought a Pixel 3 :[
Switched to a cheaper cell phone plan with more data
Changed ISP, cheaper and faster
Disconnected my home phone number
Bought a bunch of random bluray movies and Pixel case/screen protector on Amazon
Going to avoid browsing the internet or checking emails today to avoid temptation :P

Picked up an iPhone 8 for $410 all in, including 3 months of service. Seems like they're still selling for $600+ on the used market.
Koodo's deals were nuts - S9 was all sold out at $0 medium tab, S8 was all sold out for $0 medium tab less $150 worth of PC points, iPhone 7 were all sold out at $0 medium tab with $250 worth of PC points (final cost of ~$110)

They’ve been out of stock at every location since yesterday morning, but today at the Broadway near Granville Street location, they had one. It was probably one that was on order and nobody picked it up.
If you didn’t get one, there’s alway Boxing Day.

Orab B 6000 - $200 down to $100 so 50% is pretty huge
PS4 - $260 (2nd cheapest price in it's entire history) so yea I'd say that's a deal
1000 Rounds of 223 bullets - $0.34 each. I usually buy these once a year in December during the year end sale and when we buy it then it's already a deal coming in around $0.44 a round so this was a steal
So for me I scored big.

re 'Smart' TV: the list of apps have gotten shorter and shorter from my Samsung that has a quad-core from the Note 3 era
Youtube suddenly disappeared on a slightly older Sony because it couldn't meet the new encryption criteria
just grabbed the Roku Ultra for it ($50 USD, probably just a new price) ,so yeah I much prefer a dumb TV if they still sell that

Thanks! | Have gotten multiple dash cameras (myself and family members) as well as other work done at BPG Autosound in Richmond with no issues and great service. They installed a back up camera for me and replaced it without me even having to request for it or go through the warranty process myself when it crapped out.

Not affiliated with this person in any way, but if u search on market place on FB, for the name "Areal Wong", they do dashcam install at $60 for 1CH and $130 for 2CH.
Not even sure if this is competitive market pricing, but thought I'd share.
