been thinking about treating myself to a hoe, but i havent done that in over ten years so i would probably end up getting busted. maybe i will buy a smart tv or something. do smart TVs get broadcast stations?

Depends by model. Some I think have OTA antennas built in. If not they cost $13 on Amazon for 25 mile radius pickup.
Loving my Direct TV switch few weeks back but I get no networks. Made me miss watching my Macy's going out of business parade today.
I thought about upgrading my TV to a smart one but it is a 42" over the pc monitors LG and I use the blu-ray for the smart capability. No reason to throw out a perfectly fine working good lcd though.

45 and I don't think I've ever bought anything on black Friday.

Wife goes to target down the street, there's almost never anyone there for black friday. She plans to go around 8pm, get in, get out, and that's it. Other than that no big shopping this year for her.

Target has saved me so much money this year, more than any BF deal ever could.
Their S&S deals have been nuts up until about a month ago.
Things like 6x35lb tidycat litter buys at $5 each after giftcards and stuff included in the deal. That is normally $11-15 per in stores.
Tide HE pods 90 packs, tissue/paper towels and more. All less than half price and they delivered it in like 2 days.
Still feel bad the day the Fed Ex guy brought 210lbs of litter in oversized worthless boxes that I paid $33 shipped for.

These days when you hunt slickdeals daily you find deals as good/better than most BF deals if you are patient.
This is about the only thing I've considered buying outside normal grocery stuff this week.

Yeah, we got such an amazing deal at target. With coupons, and a special deal they had on formula, coincidentally a few weeks after our daughter was born, we were able to buy her all the similac formula she ever needed (a little over a year worth) for about $200. It was nuts.

I spent decades wishing I had tons of free money for Black Friday to only find out last year when I had a $24k surplus that when I had the cash on hand there was nothing I actually needed or wanted.
This year for the first time ever I haven't even checked the deals.

Yeah, as my wife and I have gotten older and our careers are finally maturing, we've come to the realization that we don't actually want for much.

In fact, last year when there was that billion dollar lottery we were trying to come up with things we'd buy. There...wasn't much. I'd like a couple new pairs of jeans so I can rotate them more often (finally went and did it this year), we'd like new counters in the kitchen (budgeted for 2017 already), and probably a longer vacation that what we currently take. For a billion dollars, there wasn't much. We'd more than likely gift a ton of it and keep maybe $10-20 million.

Black Friday has become more prevalent here, mainly online but shops as well.

Just pulled the trigger on this to replace the nasty swing lid bin in my kitchen, fuck it. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01BPDY5HO/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I've been thinking about an open case/wall mounted PC for my next build, whenever I get around to it. Something along the lines of this. Probably still another year or two before I bother with another computer though.

An open case? Are you kidding me? What you want to do is hermetically sealed case with close system heat exchangers or at least some hepa filters !

Best I could ever come up with was an island, beach mansion or a nice yacht. Everything else was like $100k tops including the new car and stuff.

I'm more baffled people still do Black Friday now that you can get almost everything just as cheap online. I'll be at home dropping the gas tank in my 86, hopefully shit doesn't go full retard.

There's something different about this year's Black Friday and I'd really like everyone to consider just staying home rather than running out to for their six o'clock deals. I'm not good at explaining things but I think a bunch of bad shit is going to go down. I don't know where or when exactly but the part of me that can sometimes see the future says to avoid Walmart, Target, and standing in long lines outside. There's madness afoot and I don't want anyone to get hurt.

Know something we don't there, Akeem?

Man, you guys have no imagination. With a billion dollars, you could fund the construction of some badass doomsday vault or fund the movie of your dreams ;p

That's the most beautiful thing I ever heard.

I would fund the remake of all the classic yet broken games of our childhood than spend the rest of my life binging on nostalgia overload, in high definition!

You can save so much money having to pay them only 77c on a dollar!

I know right if I was a billionaire I'd hire protestors on Craigslist to carry out my communist agenda by creating division in our fellow man.

Oh and I'd have a pool that came with sharks that have frickin laser beams attached to their head.
