Ask HN: What do you plan to get this Black Friday/Cyber Monday?

3 points by siddharthgoel88 1 year ago | 6 comments
I maintain a list of items that I plan in advance to buy on Black Friday/Cyber Monday/Thanksgiving. I am interested to know what are the other popular valuable stuff people get at good price during these yearly sales. Also do you follow any page for it?

Example this time I plan to buy these things.

1. Software Licenses

  * Alfred5 Powerpack
  * TablePlus License
  * Beyond Compare License
2. Items

  * Herman Miller Aeron (This is a chair for my office space)
  * Robot Cleaner

    Didn't buy anything but daily necessities since the economy's in the toilet.

      Flash and RAM IC prices are still very low, but probably bottomed out. If y'all are considering an SSD or a memory upgrade, between now and cyber monday is the time.

          Keep an eye on Slickdeals: https://slickdeals.net/computer-deals/

          And use PCPart picker to sort categories you want by price, price/GB or whatever: https://pcpartpicker.com/

          This goes double if you are building the desktop piece by piece. And if thats the case, I just finished a 3090 ITX build I extensively researched, so I can maybe point you to a case and stuff that will fit inside.
