30% off at Joe Fresh this weekend.  Got a nice cardigan for the mid $20 range.

The best bargains usually mean buying used stuff in great condition.  Even though i can be annoying & more work.

Agreed.  Lately I have been updating my wardrobe by donating stuff I don't wear anymore to Value Village, then going inside and buying other stuff to replace it.  Also my Pathfinder. Was probably a $40,000 vehicle when new.... still looks and drives like a $40,000 vehicle.

I often buy little gizmos and gadgets from China.   If you do as well, you can save money by cutting out the middleman.

The only downside is this stuff takes weeks to arrive. 

No the only downside is it might explode and kill you, or set your house on fire or poison you...

Ok - we can admit that this guy went over the line.  ( Right ?  :D )  But what are your bargain hacks ?

This is a strange topic for me. I went from being too poor to buy stuff, bargain or not, to having enough money to not care what **** costs unless it's something like a car.

Psychologically, I think I don't bother caring about bargains or sales because it puts me back into that time when I had to worry constantly about money, and not doing so is still a luxury I am enjoying.

You got a Pathfinder at Value Village??

Not at Value Village, but we found a 2010 Mercedes B200, 12,000 kms, pristine condition,  basically a new car for less than half price.  Former owners bought two near identical vehicles, rarely drove them for seven years and then dumped them before returning to their country of origin.

Black Friday came and went, but I still feel as white as ever.  ???


Did anybody attempt to "Black Friday" this year? Does anybody plan to "Cyber Week" this year?

I did find a few online deals.  50% off some performance athletic wear that will keep the kim-bobbles in place when I'm jogging, a few accessories, and a new keyboard. But for the most part I think the "Black Friday" shopping was more hype than hit this year.

I bought a sous vide cooker but that was really the only worthwhile deal that I came across.

Buying cheap goods made by foreign slave labour with money most of you most likely don't have.
