Did you get any good deals for Black Friday/Cyber Monday?

I'm on a very tight budget, but I still managed to snag a few good deals between Friday and yesterday. I enjoyed free shipping for a few items I purchased, and the lower prices were nice, as well. I didn't leave the house for Black Friday, since the stores and roads around here are way too crowded/dangerous during those times, but I did shop online. I got a free Roku yesterday by signing up to try out SlingTV, which I've been wanting to try anyway for quite a while.

Getting a free Roku is great. Here in the UK the deals aren't always great, but I got a few deals, mainly beauty items that never go on sale. I bought a microwave for my elderly neighbor which was 70% off. I think more people are shopping online, but I did see some good deals in stores too, but mainly gift sets for Christmas.

I did get a $0.88 deal for hosting for a new website I'm working on, so I'm happy with that. The site crashed a few times trying to buy it, but it was worth it as it will save me a lot of money.

I was looking to buy a monitor for around $100-150 but couldn't find a Full HD one with decent viewing angles. Bought a bunch of pheripherals such as mouse, keyboard and usb cables for pretty cheap. Also, a new stand for my guitar (last one left on Cyber Monday, got lucky :D).

Awww, that was nice @Alex, I'm sure your neighbor appreciated that. I might be in the market for one myself soon, although the issue seems to have cleared up for now. I know you know which beauty items to watch for, which are good deals, etc., so that sounds as if it worked out for you.

I'm also going to be looking for a monitor at some point in the future @fuzyon, now that I finally got my new (refurbished) computer. This one works fine, but some of the sites I work on want higher resolution, and if I don't want to get locked out of them, I'll have to upgrade somehow. Too bad you couldn't find the one you wanted, but there's still time. If the stores didn't meet their sales quotas for Black Friday and Cyber Monday, there will be other sales, and even if they did, hopefully you'll find something good soon. It sounds as if you got some nice accessories, and no doubt you're happy about the guitar stand.

I'm still getting lots of emails about deals, and some are calling this Cyber Week, so the Cyber Monday deals still apply. Many of the sites are also still offering the free shipping from Black Friday and Cyber Monday, although not the one I was shopping on earlier, unfortunately.

Since I'm in the UK it's not as big as the US so it's difficult to find a good bargain. However I did manage to get myself some shoes from adidas for cheap and Battlefield One on the PS4 for £32 which was £14 cheaper than it was before. Other than that didn't really get much for Black Friday unfortunately, was looking forward to it as well :(

I shopped online during Black Friday and I was able to purchase 100.00 dollars worth of groceries for only 55.00 dollars! They were having huge sales on food items. A large pizza even cost me 2.50 dollars along with a .60 cent Coca-Cola and a cup full of fries for only .65 cents! I would have spent a bit more but that's all I had.

I snagged some free shipping on household and personal items I had been needing, as well as a few grocery items. That sounds as if you got a great deal on your groceries @TheKnight. I'm holding off on making a follow up order at a few sites, hoping they will offer free shipping again. It's amazing how much of a difference free shipping can make, especially if the items are heavier and cost more to ship.

Also, keep in mind that most stores do the majority of their sales during this time, so if their Christmas campaigns aren't as successful as they'd anticipated, there could be some sell offs in January. That would be a nice way to start off the new year :happy:. @kingcool52 I didn't realize Black Friday wasn't as big of a thing in the UK, but it still sounds as if you were able to pick up some nice items.

@DDNatureLover The shipping doesn't matter much to me because the shipping is always 2.50 dollars for all shipping. Of course, that's only if I order nearby my home. For the most part, though, I order online and choose the store pick up option. They always have everything ready for me at the store.

I'm waiting for some good Christmas deals since here in Romania some products get discounted by quite a lot then. If not, I think I will just splash the full price for a monitor, I need it for my programming purposes so I don't mind spending a bit. :D
