I just tried to visit Costco.com. The website is hammered with a message posted on it, We’re busy today. That’s an understatement as you can’t get into the site and accomplish anything. 😬
Got a tip for us?

I’m joining the boycott BF/CM movement I read about earlier today.
I don’t need anything.
I don’t need anything.
I don't really need anything, either.
But I enjoy buying gifts for my family. The only thing better than that is paying less for those gifts than I might otherwise pay.
Did my black Friday shopping online today. Successfully, too!
Signed up the for the online Nature Journaling and Drawing class at Cornell University's bird lab on Thursday and received a good discount. Once I get a refund from Amazon, I'll buy the supplies and start the class.
Two digital movies for mom.
I am good.

I could care less, with one exception...
This is the time to renew your app subscriptions! So many apps and renewals are at discounts of 20-50%!
I just realized this by accident, as I had an SSD fail on my 2012 Mac Mini. I wanted to do a "clean install" of Catalina anyway, as I've never done so since 2012!
So, been re-installing apps, and in the process noticing the deep discounts. (As I visit sites to deal with installation quirks, get in-app notices about the discounts, etc.)
Makes sense, since the last thing many of us are thinking of right now are subscription renewals, and it's got to be a lean period for many apps of a professional or utility nature.

Don’t wanna be one of those people which go to the stores or mall to watch all the idiots stampede each other for a low cost imported not very expensive television set?

They raise the price than lower it for the after thanksgiving sale, this actually shows that stores can sell the item for that same price the whole year.
My idea of a good time is probably the exact opposite of that. Somewhere out in the sticks with no people around and a camera in my hand is more my thing.
Yea, people still fall for this gambit.
I missed the semi-annual Grocery Outlet 20% off Wine Sale, one of which typically comes a couple weeks before Thanksgiving.
No worry, since the prices came down dramatically after the sale...
Don't be such a cynic. I had the item (a Keurig coffee brewer for my father-in-law) in my saved list for a few weeks and let the Honey browser extension monitor the price for me. After weeks at $79.99, it came down to $44.99. Score!
I had about $70 in BestBuy certificates, and combined with their extended Black Friday sale, I got a bunch of stocking stuffers. And, blew another $100. Still, this was all stuff on my families lists.
