Seems like black friday is more of an excuse to raise price in September to slightly lower it in Oct/Nov.

I thought thats just me, but I noticed that Black Friday is not as it used to be anymore. Thanks to various services like camel camel and honey I can see that those “discounts” are the actual prices, and that the price bumped few weeks ago to just get back down now for Black Friday.
With these tools and others, that game is just about over. So many consumers are just done with all the BS, and I think a larger shift is coming.
That is very true. My personal Black Friday is whenever I get notified by one of those extensions about the discounts on the products I’m following.
That's exactly the case in recent years, but I think there can be some exceptions, hopefully someone will share something interesting
100% this. Had some hard drive upgrades I was going to get and at the end of the day their price was only like 10-15$ different than they were when I was looking a month ago despite being "over 40% off for Black Friday!"
I’ve been tracking multiple deals on this page.
Hot ones are the WD Red hard drive for $335 - 22 TB storage. They have 10 TB NAS grade hard drive.
Costco has a 14 TB Seagate for $150.
The mini PC with N10 is also on sale for about $109. 8 GB RAM, 256 SSD, and has a USB-C port.
Too bad my build is all about SFF 2.5 inch drives
Oh, I saw crucial 2TB SSD for 88, got excited, however the price is back to 150s
I’m sorry pal, I’ll be on the look out for you. Feel free to sign up to the newsletter if you want emails. I’ll reply to your comment if I find anything comparable for similar price.
KASA HS300 $39.99 for 6 port smart strip with energy monitoring.
Duplicacy have their lifetime license available. $65 and worth it if you want the GUI.

Nice try
You guys need to grow up. Companies give out coupons to consumers all of the time via email and via the mail for consumers to save money
Sharing the company's name and product without sharing their current offers is insane.
You may want to pay full price for items and constantly ignore deals but I'm a consumer that utilize resources especially if the company is offering a discount and cash back on everyday purchases but each their own
It started well ahead of actual BF, but Best Buy has 18TB Easystore drives for $200.
I did some online shopping and my experience is 50/50.
50 % of goods I was looking for were at their normal price with discount sticker slapped onto it and 50% had actual meaningful discounts.
Since I was buying the discounted stuff I added a few things that I knew I will need but was in no rush to try and bundle some shopping costs.
