Congrats!
Thank you!
For a moment, I was confused why you would buy your wife pregnant clothing before you knew she was pregnant with a girl.
... Almost like he had something to do with it

Nothing
Nothing fuck consumerism.
I didn't even pay for bus fare. I biked to work, biked home, and ate leftovers. Suck it, fake corporate holiday!

Well it was a regular work day for me, so I bought lunch
STEM toys for my neices and nephews. Especially the ones with religious parents.

Nothing, and I don’t plan to buy anything except normal stuff through January, either. I’m not doing Xmas this year, so very easy to avoid the spend.

Not goddamn thing. Best Black Friday ever.
I didn't need anything so I didn't buy anything. 🤷
Not a single thing
A box of 5x50 (metric) wood screws. Not because of black friday, but because I had ran out.
Nothing I would not have bought any other time.
I must admit I was a big spender. I was on the second last day of my cruise, so I went a little wild. I spent $2.55 on the Guitar Hero cabinet in the arcade. No regrets.

Goodness gracious, the way everybody on Lemmy claims to be anti-capitalist, the majority of answers better be "nothing".
Edit: ITT: people offended at being lumped in with the rabble.
Even communists have to buy supplies
In my defense, I actually did have to get my prescription medications, but I didn't buy anything else.

I bought a rock climb membership on sale. The next day, it was on sale for a cheaper price so I refunded and bought it again

Nothing
I made no purchases. I don't need much more than groceries and I have leftovers still for a few days.
I didn't buy anything
Was that yesterday? Didn't go shopping yesterday.
Nothing related to black friday as I only did groceries.
Nothing.
We're supposed to be holding a boycott until Dec 2nd.
Y'all are fucking pathetic who broke the line.
I never heard of this boycott. If it makes it any better, I didn't buy anything from a big business
First I've heard of one too. But too be fair I'm too poor to buy anything anyway

Not a god damn thing
Nothing, I don't exactly need anything at the moment. In fact I almost forgot Black Friday existed...
I was going to buy the Lego Star Trek enterprise, but it was sold out before I got there. Oh well, they saved me from myself with artificial supply restrictions.
Instead, I didn't buy anything.
nothing and fuck all of you for participating in this scam.
VPN.
(2-year subscription for Proton came to $71.76) I wasn’t planning on buying anything anyway but during these dark times, VPN is a necessity IMO.
Is this actually a specific day somewhere?
All the online shops I know are having "black Friday" for some weeks and I don't know (and don't care) when it ends.
Traditionally, Black Friday only meant that Friday after Thanksgiving, but as things started being more online-centric, I guess stores extend those sales
I bought a single €2 snack while walking through a Christmas market. Other than that, it was a day of riding public transit (monthly pass), walking through parks, and eating a packed lunch.
Out of pocket total: €2.
Sounds like a lovely day
Stayed home. (Except a regular walk around the neighborhood.)
I got some Channa Masala at a local indian place but it wasn't on sale or anything
I got a second hand ThinkPad W520 for about $30USD. I already have one, but this was too good of a deal to pass.
I keep a wishlist of things I want/need with their regular prices marked. On Black Friday, I check that list to see if anything got discounted. More than likely, nothing is, because discounted products are usually cheaper variants, or already-expensive items marked up in advance, then dropped to regular price for Black Friday.
Nothing on my list was discounted this year. So I bought some games through the Steam Black Friday sale and called it a day.
Some degreaser and penetrating oil for a small engine one of my kids is trying to repair.
Friday night, so I got some treats to eat while we watched TV at home. Milk, cheese, crackers, chocolate chip cookies, and ice cream.
