Great video! For Black Friday, I only get things that are expensive and have been on my wishlist for a while (like an e-reader or a robot vaccuum), or I get things I already use and love but want some extra stock of (like skincare/bodycare)
We've even got it here in Australia and it goes for 2 weeks! It's extra weird because Black Friday is also the name of one of the worst bushfires that many many people died in
2 whole weeks?! That's crazy! Also wow, I didn’t know that about the connection to the bushfires-thank you for sharing. That does make the term feel quite heavy in Australia 😢😢
First it was only one day. Then Cyber Monday was added. Then it was a week. Now it is a month. I rarely see any real price reductions, just 10-20 % which I see all year round anyway. All the adverts and spamming is irrelevant for me anyway since I choose items specifically, for Christmas, and to the ability of my economy. Of course I "drool" over expensive fountain pens but I can't afford them so I've learned to enjoy looking at them but I know I don't really need them. I accidentally offended one YT creator by saying a certain pen wasn't worth buying but she took it like a personal attack, which it wasn't meant to be, just a point of view from my wallet. I didn't explain it well enough to her. Of course you can buy whatever you want if you have the money for it. We all have different hobbies and interests that we invest in. I agree with your sentiments in this video and the comments. It's a good reminder. 😇❤️🙏🙌

I think that's a great way to take advantage of Black Friday deals! Thanks for sharing 🥰
I only buy things that I already needed or were on my wish list. 😃
That's a great idea! Thanks for sharing Brittany 😄💝
Great tips! I'm broke this week so... LOL
Oh my gosh, hopefully not from too much Black Friday shopping 🤣💓💓
@lillabjornco nope just groceries and meds 😂
I usually buy only what’s on my list but this year I’m feeling especially susceptible to the ads for some reason.
I totally relate! I feel like they’ve been pushing ads more this year than others 🤔

You are so right! These “discounts” are not real discounts at all. That’s awesome that you choose your items mindfully 🥰
😆 Intentionally NOT looking at any community until this passes. But I will get a few items on zon jpn like my 2025 planner and notebooks.
No for real I’m like averting me eyes 🤣🤣 sounds like you’re being very responsible, can’t say the same for myself 😉💞
QOTD: Which Black Friday deal has you the most tempted? 🥲
The imperfect planner covers 😭😭
@@bujowithsarah I hear youuu, they're on such good discount too 😩
The door busters at Atlas Stationers!! The pens that I had no interest in are all of a sudden gorgeous!😊
Okay, tell me WHY I just went to Atlas Stationers website 🫠🫠 why did I do that? 😭
