What are we looking for on Black Friday, 2024

Thanks. I ordered (per their request) the ninja5200 on Black Friday from Amazon. Delivery window is like 2 weeks long!

I did on Black Friday - for the style/model I ordered they did not beat the price. I will check again in store and return to Target if needed but as of Friday online the answer was no and I wanted to not miss getting it!

D wanted a laptop and amazon was offering a 200$ gift card if you got the amazon visa card. So, we did that…got a great deal on her Macbook air. S wanted a new iphone and was able to do the same amazon credit card/gift card deal.

I got my husband slippers from Eddie Bauer - 50% off, and I had a coupon for $10 or $15 extra, so they were a great deal, AND I got free shipping.
Took advantage of a couple of iTunes buy 100 get 15 credit offers.
I was able to get 20% off Shokz openrun pro 2 mini headphones (not on sale anywhere) by calling REI and asking to re-use 20% off coupon I purchased wrong thing with.
I HOPE I am completely done, other than a couple of gift cards that can be done at any point.

I had to get a new keurig a few weeks ago when mine died, and now it’s $10 less. I thought about ordering a new one and then returning to under the original order (Amazon) but not worth the hassle for $10

I got all my things early BF in the week or so before. Best was Shokz Open Run Mini headphones for $89 reg. $129 from Amazon. I got the Open Move version last BF and I like them but they don’t fit securely. I later saw and tried on the Open Run mini (no mini in Open Move) at Sam’s Club and they fit much better. I’ve been not so patiently waiting for a good sale. I also got 3 pairs of pants that actually fit! and have pockets! for $17 each at Belk’s. And got a washing machine that was on “early BF” sale and an extra 10% off for buying by Nov. 20.

All but one of my Black Friday purchases have arrived. Most were practical, like vitamins, a second memory card for my new camera, and a small flat plug power strip. For fun, I got a replacement inflatable zebra, and a coverlet for the guest room. I set up to combine deliveries, as they asked, for six of the seven items to arrive today. But they sent me one Saturday, two Sunday,and three today. The last is not quick shipping so won’t arrive until next week ( hard case for new camera).

This is the coverlet: https://a.co/d/iQQRPf5

Our first zebra, who I named Zelda, lost her-glow-at night powers due to heavy winds blowing her out of the pool. And developed a leak from bouncing around. Since she only cost me $16 and I enjoyed her, I ordered a new one for $20. I shall call her Zoe. Or Zooey.

Also got a local restaurant group $100 gift card, which included a $20 extra gift card. And six frozen Lou Malnati pizzas at 25% off.

Okay friends. I can’t find the link to the power banks that you all have raved about the plug into the phones. Help please! (and I searched but not sure which thread - Stocking stuffers, Good buy, black friday…we all do too much shopping!)

BTW, DH’s new kiziks arrived. They are the same size he got last time but are a bit too tight so we are returning for an exchange (next half size up).Its a super easy return process- bring the box to the nearby UPS (no shipping label or anything ) and they will send it back and the exchange process starts as soon as they scan the shoes into their system.

I figured I’d check supply again after Christmas

I think you mean this charger?

Ooh, that’s awesome! I just ordered one.

When we were in Europe, I used my phone so much (mainly taking photos) that the battery wouldn’t last all day. I kept it plugged into a small external charger, but that was a pain with the cord. This charger looks much better.

Have the cylinder one (lipstick style) as above, but use this one more on trips

It’s about the size of an iPhone mini

If you are looking for something more substantial:

If you decide to order the Anker power bank, make sure you order the right one. The one Marilyn linked has a lightning connector, but newer phones would need the one with the USB-C connector.

Correct, I have a 12 mini. This would be the one with the C connector.

Anker iPhone 16 Portable Charger, Nano Power Bank with Built-in USB C Connector, 5,000mAh Portable Charger 22.5W, for iPhone 16/15 Series, Samsung S22/23 Series, iPad Pro/Air, AirPods, and More

Thanks @Marilyn I think (hope) that’s the right one (asked about plug style, got nothing)

And I bought the second one, with a USB C connector, because I have Samsung. I was going to get them for the SILs too, but we’ll see how the girls like theirs.

For those with a Costco nearby, they have a two pack of Anker wall chargers on sale for $23. The website says that the sale ended on 12/2/24, but they are still available in the warehouses at that price (limit 5).

Does anyone gave the Anker charger discussed above that plugs right into the phone? I’d like to put it on my list, but I’m concerned that it won’t work if phone is in a case. Amazon says that it’s a frequently returned item so I might look for a different one.
