Yesterday for the United States was a special day and I hope all of you had a lovely Thanksgiving. Today in many countries is Black Friday. A day of deals and steals but IRL and online. I'll be sticking to the internet kind with Amazon. It will be the first time in two years where I won't be buying a physical book around Black Friday period. But I have already found multiple deals already and considering possibly taking up deals for digital movies as well. Two I thought rentals at best (have not bought digital before but planned to) are now half off between $7-$9. Way better than $15-$19 bucks a pop. Netflix will still be a big part of my online television and movie viewing of course. However I can finally start getting a few videos of my own to keep and digital is much more convenient than shipping DVDs. Plus the last time I went to the DVD section in Jamaica was years ago and when I saw those prices...I walked away. NO.
So all of you have a great day. I will be sitting by my computer in between freelance work and my own writing, snagging up deals. Especially since they're all from gift cards I won taking part in Facebook events. So no out of pocket. God is good. Take care everyone and God Bless.
Black Friday has been appearing in some of our bigger shops here too, but since we don't really have real discounts nobody pays much attention to them :) Things here are twice more expensive than in USA even when on discount.
ReplyDeleteSimilar in Jamaica. I can find a few deals but mostly no. Skipping that this year and just getting some cool ebooks and digital movies on Amazon.
DeleteI actually did some shopping last night. Most began early. Not a chance I would go out shopping though. People are just insane. Half off is not worth my life.
ReplyDeleteI have seen the videos of American Black Friday's madness and 100% agree.
