    I'm about to go broke buying parts for my long-overdue new PC. A lot of good sales on pc components here and there. About the only thing I couldn't find in a good sale was my case, but no biggie. I need to get a monitor, but not sure if I want a 4k or stick with 1440, so I may wait a while for that.

    Really general question (lol), but... unless I really need something, I tend to overlook most of these "sales" - it's usually a good way to buy a lot of stuff you don't really need. Before the sales start, you may want to have a list of "these are things I need" and then go hunting.

    I look at my usual buys then grab it in bulk. Deodorants, lotions, bars, shampoo/conditioner, etc...

    Electronics are already the 1 thing inflation isn't really ****ing with. Paper towels have like 8x'd since 2018 but TVs are cheaper than ever. Lulz

    Going off on a tangent here, clothing is really plummeting lately too. Used cars are down but you'd think it would be by a lot more than it is to be honest.

    I am looking also but dam mattresses are so hard to buy based on laying on it for 3 minutes, last one I got from Mattress Firm was supposed to be a "decent" one but after a few months I cant stand it. I am afraid to buy one of those, "in the box" brands like Purple.

    Yeah, I guess I'll have to go to one of those mattress spots locally and pick something then order off Amazon if it's even on sale.

    Go visit Texas Mattress Makers. They're pretty good.

    Steel tariffs add $5K on average to all new cars, which pulls up the price of used cars.
