Who blew their Black Friday / cyber Monday budgets?

I was in a whiskey bar in Manhattan and they were charging over two grand for two fingers worth.

Glenfiddich 12-yr?  I buy in the same Total Wine, a bit over $40 for a bottle.  Bar is a different ballgame.

All things aside, I'm surprised the sales weren't better. So many retailers have so much extra inventory right now. 15-20% off is typical percentages that you can find all through the year with most retailers.

 

There were some decent ones though. G2 triggers were $13 hahah awesome. Croatian ak mags at $7 were a steal. I wanted a chest rig but the discounts were nothing special of other sales through the year so i bought an expensive handguard that I got 40% off of from a company that rarely has more than 10% sales on.

I think it depended on what you were looking for. ALG sale was good on triggers and hand guards. I bought a barrel from blackhole weaponry for 30% off. PSA premium BCG for 69 bucks I think. A few other items that were ok.

 

I bought some AK parts at brownells on sale plus some discounts and free shipping. That bit I was buying anyway but 40 bucks off 300 and no shipping made it better.

As a college student who works a minimum wage job and has been saving up, I did buy a used Stevens 311 for $135 and 20 rounds of 00 Buckshot at the Hertiage Guild in Rahway. It kind of burned a hole in my wallet.

 

Good for you, dude.  I know your pain.  When I was in school, I was taking 16-20 credits a semester (all on campus), while working 40 hours a week, and commuting.  Just keep your head down and get it done.  Fight tooth and nail to keep your GPA as high as possible.  And most importantly, don't get sucked into the bullshit of college (partying and jerking around).  Be a machine, and it will pay huge dividends.
