I always start craving Black Friday about this time of year. I don't know if it's because I'm looking forward to fall temps or because companies have started talking about Christmas in July :).

Going through the files on this old laptop and finding spreadsheets from the BF charts years ago, 2011 maybe along with my shopping excel sheets 🤣Fun times. Hopefully I'll have a new laptop before black friday otherwise that'll be on my to do list. This brick weighs double as much as my soon to disappear work laptops, runs Windows 7 awfully and is super slow. I'd say its probably double the size too. Crazy how technology keep improving. Thankful my phone does most things, a laptop would just be a convenience mostly

I got banned from buying too much for the grandbabies this year 😞  They have too many people spoiling them.  So this year is going to be pretty light.  Actually looking at less "things" and more experiences for them...it would be nice if zoos, museums did black friday deals on their memberships (but I know they are non profit and need all they get).

Our zoo has a family membership which could be an idea for them. Not sure I've seen a BF deal but we do get mailers every so often with discount options and I there's a (summer?) program that includes entry over so many weeks, again may not be available locally to you.
