What Are You Planning of Buying during This Black Friday Coming up in about 1 Week?

What are you planning of buying during this Black Friday coming up in about 1 week?

I need some ideas. I am thinking of looking at yearly costs and see if I can get any subscription at cheaper values. tbh, have not found any so far. Will keep on looking.

This is part of Black Friday / Cyber Monday deals for 2024

  • A good fitness tracker. Looking at the fitbit charge 6. Missed out on the Garmin vivoactive 5. Max budget is 250.

    Black Friday is mostly bullshit, majority of deals can be found several times a year. If you really want or need something by all means save some dollarydoos but why are you looking for shit to buy?

      why are you looking for shit to buy?

      I (need to) ask myself this every single day.

    • +6

      why are you looking for shit to buy?

      You need to spend money to save money 🤔

    • +4

      I make a wishlist of things I would like but don't immediately need, and monitor them for price drops

      If a deal is good during the year I buy, if a deal is good during black friday i buy.

  • 4TB SSDs and an iPhone if they are a reasonable price. Also likely buy some crap I don't really need if it seems cheap.

  • +3

    I am looking for an electric lawnmower for my very small lawn. Currently have a push one and it's a pain and my grass is overgrown…

    • Do post a deal I'm looking for one as well

  • New tyres for the car, hoping Jax has 15% off that I can stack with the Bridgestone 4 for the price of 3.
    Also Shoks headphones and new bike helmet.

  • +1

    32GB DDR4 RGB RAM (if cheap), and maybe a NAS + some HDD's.

  • Q990D - even if it doesn’t go on sale I still intend on getting it in a few weeks. I’ll probably end up buying a bunch of movies and albums from Amazon too

  • +1

    I'm looking at noise cancelling headphones, for daily use.
    Still deciding on whether I want over-ear or ear buds. I'm leaning towards ear buds but worried about comfort/pain.

    • +1

      For daily use - I much prefer the size and portability of my Jabra active buds vs my over-ear Sony's WH1000XM3. Getting the right sized buds to sit in your ear is ideal.

      Depends on the quality you're going for too. If you want better sound for music then my sony's are better. I just like general podcasts and basic sounding tunes so buds are fine. I like the ease to switch from full NC to ANC for when I need to listen to announcements or general environmental noise.

      • I have been favouring buds lately although I have been an over ear ANC guy for all my life.

        I find buds work well, and I can still wear sunnies, whereas ear cups conflict with sunnies.

      • I'm the opposite. I really can't stand buds. Although I can appreciate how portable they are and how they don't mess your hair up, it always feels like they're going to fall off. It's no wonder plenty report them going missing.

  • maybe a new phone or laptop, it really depends on the deals.

  • galaxy watch, don need the newest

  • GTX 4060 machine for less than $700 including delivery, Cmon Nebula you can do it, we have faith in you ;)

  • Can't afford nothing at the moment and I'm already stocked on essentials.

  • Switch lite. That’s about it.

  • Food dehydrator to make pemican

  • +1

    Been getting into Lego lately, so hopefully some decent discounts on the larger car sets.

  • I was researching a lot for the BF sales looking at 4070 laptops. Ended up jagging a 14.5" Lenovo Legion 4060/32gb for $1650 on marketplace earlier this week. So happy with my first dedicated GPU since my Crysis rig back in 2007.

    Need a 1440p 27" monitor this BF sale. <$400 budget.

    Little brother who wants to play some older games will get my old 2020 Vega 8 Ideapad and 24" G24F Monitor.

  • A commuter ebike, a Nintendo switch, a dishwasher.

  • +1

    Potentially some Xmas presents for the kids and maybe a new phone for the wife.

  • VPN subscription. PIA want 50 US bucks for my 12mth renewal. Has been 30 US for the last 3 yrs. Time for someone new.
    Recomendations please?

    • +2

      https://iprovpn.com/pricing 91% off and save another $6USD using promo code IPRO20 ;)

      • Thank you. Ill give this a go

    • Not the cheapest but a big fan of Mullvad

      • ? mullvad says 8.01AUD a month. mines like $44 for 3 years.
        so with mullvad you would have to pay like $300. how is it cheaper

        • I didn't say it was cheaper, I said it was not the cheapest. Hope that clears things up!

  • Contact lenses.

  • +3

    AminoZ WPI (Hoping they do another deal, I'm running low)

    • +1

      Deal is up now

  • +1

    I need some ideas.

    Save your money and don’t engage in pointless consumerism?

  • +1

    Nuclear weapons

  • +1

    Do ISPs usually have black Friday sales? Looking to join the churn ISP every 6 months for better pricing train.

    • Yes some do. Aussie Broadband does and I believe has already started some discounts.

    • TPG have 3 months discounted, router included for $10 delivery if you stay for 6 months, and (from my experience) they'll coordinate the NBN FTTP install at no extra cost

      So far so good on FTTP, all inside the property is sorted and ready for fibre, just need to wait on a team to dig up between the existing street-side pit and where it enters my property (two sharp 90 degree bends that the fish tape can't get through)

      https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/874198

      Edit because I've read some reports about poor customer service from TPG - Mine has been good, got call backs when requested, they gave a general timeline of when things will be done, let me reschedule my appointment easily through an online form, and a case manager should call me a week after the fibre install on the roadside was first attempted to give a more detailed information.

  • +1

    Bose or Sony noise cancelling headphones.

    Have a $200 JB hi-fi voucher, so hoping to use that and pay an additional $50-100, so up to $300.

    • Or Momentum 4 :)

  • i just lost my garmin fenix6s so getting a new 1. 8 are pretty expensive so unless they have a monster deal most likely will grab a deal on the 7pro

  • Is there a list of merchants that has already started the Black Friday sale?

  • Wireless charger for my pixel 8 and pixel watch. Any I should be keeping my eye on?

  • +1

    drugs

    • +1

      Paracetamol?

      • +1

        nope, that's bad for your liver

  • Dyson v8 if < $300

  • I'm after a sub-$700 TV for the kids in the spare room. Can anyone recommend Hisense Q6NAU 55" for $695 at JB? Or are better deals expected once Black Friday starts?

  • Planning on buying 9700x3d or 7700x3d next black Friday, if that counts.

  • Amazon's early Black Friday dropped the price for the FireStick devices so I've pulled the trigger on that one.

    Might be on the lookout for a few more things

  • +1

    New pair of glasses + sunnies from eyebuydirect (every black friday they have BOGO +25% discount+ free shipping)

    And with any luck.

    Laptop for workmate.

    Induction Cooktop.

    New Fancy Rangehood.

  • robotic vacuum cleaner, possibly a Narwal.

    • not a roborock?

      • I read somewhere in reviews that I higher end of Roborock are reporting issues with mapping and cannot be used for mapping two levels of a house, not great in avoiding obstacles. Narwal also separates wet and dry rubish. Narwal is available at Costco, so possibly better warranty access. I am still not 100% thought, just some thoughts.

  • Ps5 disc version under well sub 600 or sub 650 with FFVII rebirth

  • +2

    I want

    PSVR2 if it's under $500

    Insta360 x4 under $650

    Pixel Tablet under $300

    ROG Ally under $700

  • A phone for my sister. Brand new S23 for $600 would be nice.

  • Don't see anything worth buying atm

  • Pokemon cards (I'm also VERY addicted, please help)

  • After a budget 98 inches tv , just to fill up the gigantic wall in the new house

    And a french door fridge

  • New iPads for the kids for Christmas. Missed the last sale on the 10th gen, so happy with the $487 from Officeworks that just kicked off. Old iPads 7-8 years old and hardware not keeping up with the demands.

  • Pixel 9 Pro

    Genmitsu ProverXL 4030 v2 CNC router 🤞

  • I’ve been tracking prices for a few purchases I made throughout the year so that I can claim them through the 28 degrees price protection!

  • Waiting to see if there any Pixel Watch 3 deals.

    Want the 45mm, but not at RRP.

    Otherwise, will grab a 2 at half price from JB/OW.

  • I've got a ripcurl gift voucher and a $20 member voucher and points I want to use for a new wetsuit, so hoping they'll do another 50% off and get myself a nice new unpee'd E-Bomb 3/2 zip free number.

    • Dashcam for my car
    • Contemplating a stand mixer
    • Christmas presents if something looks good!
  • Nobody posted the deal of 2 years free doordash pass with Amazon Prime

  • I need a kitchen stand mixer. Don't want to spend more than $150.
    What should I do?

  • I've been itching for an iWatch Ultra ever since that JB Hifi deal a few months back.

  • I need a new couch badly. Just waiting for those couch deals to appear on here… really hoping not from Fantastic Furniture as their delivery fees are insane.

  • I'm been wanting to get into VR, as I've barely experienced it and I've been inching to play Half-Life: Alyx since it came out.

    Doing my research, feels like the Quest 3 is the best all rounder at the moment. I do have some issues with Meta, but I think I can look pass that.

  • Already put in order for two Amazon Echo Spot Smart alarm clocks for grandkids.

  • Anyone finding these sales underwhelming? Only a very select number of products are on sale. Not that great either.

  • Dyson Vacuum V8 Original/Plus/Extra
    Eufy Security Spotlight Outdoor Camera
    Nutribullet

  • Samsung Galaxy Fold 6

  • When is black friday this year - Nov 21 or Nov29?

  • Mycar didn’t have the usual 50% off Pirelli tyre this year.

  • +2

    New vibrator for my mum, she is lonely ;)

    • +1

      how old is she ill give it to her. im lonely

  • Any good deals this year?

  • Is there anything thats 90% off RRP? Real OZB style :))

  • Looking at this https://www.jbhifi.com.au/pages/black-friday-sale

    Do you think that these are really that much discounted than other days where they have specials/sales besides from Black friday, maybe they just to get rid of surplus and make stock for new tech crap… what u guys/gals think?

  • Any1 seen any specials on bench water filters/system? cheers

  • Is Cashrewards officially dead since their rep left OzBargain and ANZ took over? Not a single deal from them this entire BFCM period. That's all I took from this period so far.

    TopCashrewards with TA is killing it at the moment.
