There are a lot of fake and misleading deals out there, so what are some of the legitimate deals that are worth getting?
For example:
- Things for which the advice through the year was ‘wait for Black Friday’.
- Good brands that you recommend (ethical, good quality, or some other reason)

Most deals aren’t up yet so I think you’re a bit early.
However my number 1 recommendation would be the Serif Affinity products. They will probably be on sale for something like half price. 35 euros for a lifetime purchase of something that really gives Photoshop/Illustrator/InDesign a run for its money.
My number two would be ProtonMail. Though you shouldn’t buy this before using a free account for a while.
I’ve been using the free version of protonmail for years, and I’ve thought about paying but it’s just so expensive! Even with the current deal it’s still €40 a year for the lowest tier, budget email subscription. The next step up is €104. Then after 12 months it goes back to full price.
Convincing myself to pay that for something I’ve never paid for before is a huge ladder to climb for me
What country are you in? That’s like more than an 100 freedom units.
Almost the whole of black Friday is a nonsense. The only things worth buying are things you would have bought anyway but know are on discount.
Many items prices go up for a period before black Friday so they can then be discounted, and manufacturers even have cheaper versions of models of their products that they supply to discount chains and companies like Amazon for black Friday.
The only things I’d buy on sale are items I’m watching via camelcamelcamel which have hit discount, or software on discount. There are a few specific items I need to buy that I might buy if they’re genuinely on discount but most of the stuff thrust in your face during the sales is cheap tat or lies.
To add to the point of cheaper versions. Best buy does this and those items will have a different SKU. They also don’t bother to take the regular version off their website, so you can check it against that. From what I remember when my ex worked there, it was a combination of removing features/ports, and lower quality control.
