To be honest, nobody had deals worth looking into.
15% off stuff that is too expensive to begin with isn't much of a savings. 🤷

There's so many pre and early "Black Friday" sales it really doesn't mean what it used too.

Plus add exchange rate, shipping, duties, HST (Canadian federal sales tax) and the customs handling fees ($9.95) sticker and sales just don't cut it anymore.

I'm patiently waiting for my last and final 4 kickstarters to deliver (3 of which I probably will never see), thus I am done spending any more money except with Litko for magnetic bases.

I buy stuff when needed, not 'cause of a sale….mostly <lol>

"Black Friday" apparently last for at least a month. I just switch off from the deluge of marketing.

That hardly rated the exclamation mark. I own more armies than I've played games in the past three years, and the "discounts" were derisory on stuff I didn't need.

Not much that I actually need, and a 10-15% discount doesn't move the needle for me unless it is on a product that I was planning to buy anyway.
