TV, a lot of clothes, and household stuff.

Oh, socks too. Very very important. My dryer seems to charge a sock, sometimes 2, per drying cycle. I thought the sales price and cycle of my dryer is a little too overpriced and long.

No pain no game.

Whenever I need something like a TV or computer it's because my current one broke, and I can't wait until Black Friday. If some store sells gift cards at a discount, I might stock up. Amazon had some nice deals on Prime Day.

My laptop is on the way out too, the plastic casing is all cracked. Screen may fall off any day now lol. Probably will be getting both a laptop and tv come black friday.

 

Newegg might be worth checking out as an alternative to Best Buy and co, not sure how their deals compare.

As for store gift cards, I didn't know they ever did such a thing. I'll have to check them out, thanks for the suggestion.

 

Adding onto what Sil said, you can find discounted giftcards from a 3rd party site.

Buy a watch dude. I bought one last year, and getting a different one this year. The one I bought can sell 'used' for the price I paid for new. Update: retail prices for both watches I bought last year went up +100%. Sadly, I decided to only keep one.

I will probably buy some professional attire too, though the best deals tend to appear on the first days of January.
