Did you buy anything for Black Friday this weekend?
I bought a new office chair because my current one is falling apart, and I've been threatening to replace it all year but couldn't justify the cost. I got a really good price at Incredible Connection (I use a gaming chair because of the nice high back and the lumbar support 🙂), so I ordered it.
I wouldn't buy something I didn't *need* just because it was on a Black Friday sale, though. The old adage rings true:
"But if we buy it now, we can save 50%!"
"If we don't buy it at all, we can save 100%"
