Title says it all, in the last couple years Black Friday hasn’t been as exciting in terms of deals, that’s why this post, if you stumble upon anything interesting and you think it’s worth it, you can share it with the community here.

Seems like black friday is more of an excuse to raise price in September to slightly lower it in Oct/Nov.
100% this. Had some hard drive upgrades I was going to get and at the end of the day their price was only like 10-15$ different than they were when I was looking a month ago despite being “over 40% off for Black Friday!”
That’s exactly the case in recent years, but I think there can be some exceptions, hopefully someone will share something interesting
I thought thats just me, but I noticed that Black Friday is not as it used to be anymore. Thanks to various services like camel camel and honey I can see that those “discounts” are the actual prices, and that the price bumped few weeks ago to just get back down now for Black Friday.
With these tools and others, that game is just about over. So many consumers are just done with all the BS, and I think a larger shift is coming.
That is very true. My personal Black Friday is whenever I get notified by one of those extensions about the discounts on the products I’m following.
Duplicacy have their lifetime license available. $65 and worth it if you want the GUI.

Can I use it to backup a Onedrive account to local storage?
Hmmmm not sure on that one, you can backup from Local to OneDrive though.
It has a 30 day free trial, give it a go.
Open Media Vault can backup a Onedrive to Local storage.
Do you use it? Is it just a backup tool to back up to cloud services? Im interested. Sorry for asking you and not researching- in a food coma lol
I don’t backup to Cloud but yes you can. It has a 30 day free trial spin it up quickly to see.
I’ve been tracking multiple deals on this page.
Hot ones are the WD Red hard drive for $335 - 22 TB storage. They have 10 TB NAS grade hard drive.
Costco has a 14 TB Seagate for $150.
The mini PC with N10 is also on sale for about $109. 8 GB RAM, 256 SSD, and has a USB-C port.
Sweet. I came here specifically looking for NAS drives. Thanks for your comment!
Oh, I saw crucial 2TB SSD for 88, got excited, however the price is back to 150s
I’m sorry pal, I’ll be on the look out for you. Feel free to sign up to the newsletter if you want emails. I’ll reply to your comment if I find anything comparable for similar price.
Too bad my build is all about SFF 2.5 inch drives
MXroute has nice deals. I self-host my emails and I use MXroute only for outgoing emails so the cheapest one (least storage) is enough.
The testimonials on the site are 100% legit!
I was looking at their policies, and I am worried about the “Forbidden Services” where they forbid “Forward-only service for massive numbers of domains on one account.” I have 5 domains… Any idea what “massive numbers” means?
Also, can you send to an sms gateway a single email?

Bulk email providers need pretty tight and aggressively worded ToS by necessity because they’re a target for spammers & abuse. The owner of mxroute has been around on various forum for years & consistently strikes me as a very reasonable bloke that won’t cause you problems if you don’t cause him problems.

Maybe I’m imagining this so please don’t quote me on this but I vaguely recall hearing them answering a question around what constitutes reasonable in the context of unlimited domains as “if you needed a script/automation to create them then you’re probably over the line”.
[Note that this is purely my impression as long term customer & I have no special insight/connection to them. Legally they can enforce the ToS]
Thanks. I want a fallback for problematic mail servers (Microsoft) only, and do not want to pay the tool to the people causing the problem. :)
Worth noting that mx renewals honor BF pricing.
I’m still cruising on my 2019 era BF deal lol…
Love your nick 😂
If any one is looking for Web hosting with better discount you can always check out 50% OFF on WordPress hosting plan to get details about coupon code do visit :
Most definitely a scam. Website shows a different URL to the domain and the phone number is formatted completely randomly.
KASA HS300 $39.99 for 6 port smart strip with energy monitoring.
It started well ahead of actual BF, but Best Buy has 18TB Easystore drives for $200.
There’s usually some good black friday deals on https://lowendtalk.com/
I did some online shopping and my experience is 50/50.
50 % of goods I was looking for were at their normal price with discount sticker slapped onto it and 50% had actual meaningful discounts.
Since I was buying the discounted stuff I added a few things that I knew I will need but was in no rush to try and bundle some shopping costs.
Check out Fluz App and use their coupon code to get paid for creating an account. You will also receive Cash Back on purchases.
Simply download the app and entered this Fluz App Promo Code: MJ051983
or you can simply click this link https://joinfluz.app.link/MJ051983
I hope this helps.
Nice try
You guys need to grow up. Companies give out coupons to consumers all of the time via email and via the mail for consumers to save money
Sharing the company’s name and product without sharing their current offers is insane.
You may want to pay full price for items and constantly ignore deals but I’m a consumer that utilize resources especially if the company is offering a discount and cash back on everyday purchases but each their own
