2021: Black Friday / Holiday Deals

[Mahoney]

Kicking this back up for 2021, though I doubt the "deals" will be as good as last year.

Dear Santa,

  In my stocking I'd like a buncha ammo.  I'm even willing to pay for it.

 

I've been a VERY good boy.

Bose QuietComfort 35 II for $199 (only time of the year it goes on sale)

 

 

 

I was considering them a few weeks back at this price on Walmart.   Pulled the trigger last night.  Will see if they're better than the knock offs on Amazon.

I'm curious to hear the report.

Their stock changes pretty frequently, so if what you need isn't there at the moment, it might be the next day. They even ship ammo to you (at least they did to me, not sure about the rules where you are.) Bought a case of .22 long rifle from them earlier this year.

Just got a food saver at BJs

We (that is the royal "we" as I cannot foodsaver no matter how many times my husband has shown me how) started with a food saver, got a second (better) food saver, then a few years ago I got him a Cabela's commercial grade one which is pretty darned nice (I looked, it does not seem to be the same one they are currently selling).  He'd love a nice chamber-style vacuum sealer but we do not have a dedicated area in the kitchen for it (they are large), and there is no way he is hauling it up and down from the basement.

For the foodsaver bags, he was getting them on fleabay for a while.  I got him a giant off-brand order a few years back, and those worked well, too.  He got the rolls once, and while a lot cheaper they were a big PITA. For my gardening vegetables, we have use the steamer bags for the last few years, and those were worth the upcharge.

I bought one last year and it's still going strong after heavy use. I even accidentally refrigerated it overnight (don't ask).

LG 34" ultrawide monitor ... $249

 

Bought one earlier in the week and it's already here. I had the 29" version, which I loved. I forgot about it in about two seconds. This thing is awesome.

After learning that my 18” monitor is woefully inadequate yesterday, I’m thinking of an upgrade.   The monitor is actually at the perfectly frustrating distance on my desk that I can’t wear my glasses OR take them off without getting annoyed.

Exactly. Sadly, my eyesight isn't what it used to be. This helps a ton!

For years I've been on a mission to find the best pair of sub-$60 bluetooth active noise cancelling headphones.  Needless to say, I've spent enough on crap to buy at least two sets of Bose QuietComforts. 

Bose's customer service was the best (or laziest) I've ever experienced. Back when I had the QuietComfort II, it broke a LOT. The first time I sat on it and it split right down the middle. I took it to the Bose store and asked if they could sell me the top part. The employee took a new pair out of a new box and gave it to me. I thought it was a joke and said, "No, I just need the top part. It was my fault, you don't need to do that." He said that Bose had a policy of replacing broken headsets without question. A few months later, my (then) puppy chewed them up. I thought, "Nah, lightning doesn't strike twice, does it?" I went to the same store, and a different employee did the same thing. A year later the black coating from the headset started to flake off. Once again, I got a new headset. No questions asked.

A few years later, while shopping for a new speaker system, I asked the sales guy about that policy, and if it would apply to my new purchase. He said, "Oh, Bose did away with that policy. Too many customers abused it." 😄
