       | I'll wait for after Black Friday and after layoffs and catch some
       | good stuff on craigslist. Plus this time it is different, 1st
       | most deals went online, long before and after into December and
       | January so no rush, 2nd due to inflation deals are worse so
       | better deals might come months after, 3rd post-covid even
       | Halloween is almost no-more so everything is changing

         | Indeed. Also, the ultimate discount is 100% off things you
         | don't need to buy.

       | Withings is having some decent sales, so I was thinking about one

       | thermometer because I need a reliable one and I'd spend about the
       | same on one at the local pharmacy anyway.
       | 
       | That's about it for me I think. Still waiting for the new
       | Mikrotik hap ax3 to be available somewhere, but don't expect
       | there to be any sales in that regard.
