      I’m not sure if there is a “good time” to buy - not as a blanket timeframe for all things. If you want to save money, use camel camel camel and patience.

      However - it all depends on how much you’re talking about trying to save, how substantial that amount is to you, and how much your time is worth - because if you make $20/hour and you spend 16 hours in order to save $5, that’s not a great investment.

      Black Friday is almost always a scam. Maybe once upon a time it wasn’t, but, capitalists gotta capitalize.

      Whenever there’s a real sale on them and not just marking them up to MSRP then back down again. Aka any time before November or after December.

      Use websites like camel camel camel to track prices on something you want and see if it’s actually a good deal.
