Apologies for the harsh response. It's not directed towards you. I went on walks around a suburb I live in for two years, and the number of garages PACKED FULL of absolute crap was astounding (usually while having two cars parked right in front of it, usually partially or entirely blocking the sidewalk). When I think of Black Friday, I think of that.
> I'm personally considering pulling the trigger on the 15' Macbook Air M2 to replace my current 15' Macbook Pro Intel I made this jump when the M2 MBA came out. It’s amazing. The only thing you’ll miss about the Intel MBP is the built-in white noise generator. This year, I bought some GaN bricks and USB-C cables. Prices were somewhat better than normal but not amazing. One trick for getting more out of Black Friday…
I bought the AirPods Pro but what I really wanted were updated AirPods Max

> Not necessarily, it’s common for people to wait for Black Friday for big purchases. That's my point though - if you can and do wait you don't actually need it. Like unless you're in some financial hardship or other edge case... E.g. would you wait 6 months without a TV so you can buy it on Black Friday? If you can do that you don't need it. It's a nice to have.
I see your point, but with your definition you never « need » anything except for food, water and healthcare, which is true to some extent but not a very useful definition for everyday use.
Some more Renogy solar panels, because I live off-grid in an RV. And then some Lectric e-bikes, to use up all that extra electricity.
Do you roof mount them? How do things go this time of the year, assuming you're in a winter hemisphere, regarding portable-tier solar? I did this maybe 12 years ago in a very small RV for 18 months. I found during winter I needed to be sure I drove around a bit more to charge up my batteries.

I probably could have kept the old machine working for a few more months so technically didn’t need a new washer, but if I’d waited until the old one actually died and then bought a replacement I’d likely have paid a lot more.
It seemed much more rational to just keep the old one until the next big sale and then replace it.
