I think someone usually starts a sticky thread at the top of the page when the deals really start developing.

I just picked up a Garmin Fenix 5X plus sapphire at Best Buy for $350
More watch than I probably need but man is it fun to play with. Have been watching for one for several months and not even the Garmin Outlet can come close to that price New
Good luck- I too am looking to spend some "stimulus" $$$
I see Bike Doctor just posted a similar deal on the 5 plus-

Will there be any road bike deals this year given the lack of supply? I’m hopeful, but unlikely

Just so people understand the nomenclature, the world "black" in "Black Friday" traditionally marks the day retailers make it into the "black" for the year. That is to say, "break even" with red denoting a loss and green denoting a profit.

But the same understanding- historically the day retailers finally covered off all their fixed yearly costs and were 'out of the red and into the black'. From how colours were used in profit and loss accounts.

Then again, I find the whole bacchanalia that is post-Thanksgiving shopping to be tacky. The one secular holiday that is uniquely American, and retailers have to move their sales so that it starts on Thursday evening. Just 24 hours when the lowly-paid could get a break, is that too much to ask?

Is there much difference between the fenix 5 and 6?

One could argue that now is a good time to “spend it if you’ve got it” so to speak. I’m happy that bike shops are doing well. Beyond that, not triathlon or bike related, I’m happy to spend a little more on take out from restaurants or bars to help the little I can.
Strange start to what is usually the only thread the entire year without any controversy in it. I want a redo thread when BF sales area ready to be posted!
