Black Friday looks like a rain out.

I bought an iPad 7 for my dad at Walmart on Thursday night. $250.
I also got 2 Roku Ultra for $49 each for my furnished rentals. Now for the new rentals, I only buy Roku TVs. for ease of use (don’t want stupid older tenants asking questions). TCL TVs from China are very good. No need to buy expensive Samsung smart TVs that are complicated to use.

i didn’t buy a computer yet…. didn’t seem cheap and I don’t have time to set it up and delete all the junk software off of it.

I don’t buy appliances at the regular stores or online anymore. The best place is the Best Buy Outlet in Moreno Valley, but it’s a long drive if you don’t have any other reason to drive up there.

I need an IT consultant. So many crapware installed by companies who want to hijack your computer

Sort of related…AMD Ryzen 3950x just launched and sold out in japan even at $900.

Can’t find them anywhere in US too.

If I can get one, I can probably fle-ebay it for around $1300

Flu – I get where you’re coming from with CV. But I’m in the market for a used Wii (ours “broke” ) and I know a lot of people around here who love Walmart – for certain things. Cereal. Soup. Synthetic motor oil. Bacon! I got an early Christmas gift there last weekend – Eschwinn bike marked *way* down (a little less than 40%).
Hoping it will pay for itself over time (avoiding car trips to local places) while also giving me some exercise.
I think there is a big confirmation bias when it comes to places like CV.

I would agree not everyone is a spoiled entitled brat here. Some, not all. But the way some of the stores are setup, they are delusional thinking it’s like Rodeo Drive.

Searsucker closed down. Good riddance.

But not only that, a lot of places are closing down because the rent is too high.
