I got myself 4 more Class C kegs from Beverage elements with a coupon code for $10. Anyone go a little crazy? I considered grabbing some more hops from all the 2013 crop sales but Ive got like 6lbs in the freezer still.
 
My wife was nice enough to do a little beer shopping for me. Minus the oil of course.

Supplies for my next 2 beer batches from Midwest with free shipping and 2 wine kits from my LHBS at 20% off.

I wanted the 7.1 cu ft freezer from Walmart, but I just couldn't do it.
 
Pound of citra and some whirlfloc, super lame I know, spent all my money on amp and pedal parts this month.

Bourbon County Stout. One advantage of living in the boondocks (South Dakota), is that you can wander into the liquor store and get some with no lines and no hoopla. They only had two cases, I got the first 4 pack.
 
My friends at Eight Bridges Brewery in Livermore, CA, released their first limited run, barrel-aged RIS "Russian Hill." They sold out in about 5 hours!

I bought ingredients to brew a batch. not on sale :(

I also got some golf balls. they were on sale.
 
A double CO2 regulator, 3-way gas manifold, and 3 Perlick 630 taps. Slowly putting together my kegging system.

Brew on :mug:
 
Finally pulled the trigger on the Cereal Killer grain mill from AIH.
Bulk grains here I come!
 
A couple 3 gallon kegs, taprite dual body regulator, a wort chiller for my SWMBO's dad, carboy handles, another shank, and a pound of simcoe. I think that's everything:confused:
SWMBO wasn't too pleased with the amount of stuff I bought, but adding the chiller helped seal the deal:D
 
Black Friday does not exist in my world. I stay home, drink beer and be merry.

I bought nothing, except beer, and oh yeah, some food too.
 
A whole lot of nothing. Really want to head to a really good bottle shop in SF but my wife and family wouldn't be too happy with me disappearing for a few hours. Something about family time or some BS. They never visit us but when we visit it's nothing but "we never see you blah blah."
 
I was hoping since I was visiting Middle of Nowhere, Kansas, that no one would be buying Goose Island. Apparently people do know about it, but I did score some vanilla Buffalo Sweat.
 
Keg and bottle opener from keg connection.

Also got in an a 64oz growler of Terrapins special release moochoochi!

There are no rules about having to step foot in a store to get some deals on BF. I ordered a boat load of stuff from the comfort of my home while drinking some homebrew :mug:
 
I decided to take advantage of some of the sales and get all the gear I need to put a keg in the fridge. I have only brewed 3 beers, but I'm hooked. Figured I'll go all the way.

This is probably the best thing you could have done. I stopped homebrewing years ago just because I couldn't stand bottling anymore. I picked up some kegs this summer and got back into it. Best decision I have ever made. My buddy tried my homebrew and liked it so much he got into it to. First thing he did was get 2 kegs setup at his place. We now brew once a week and after about 10 batches are starting to make some really great beer. Not sure what equipment you have but IMO a refractometer is another often overlooked tool that will set you back $30-50.

Has anyone seen any good deals on a Thermoworks MTC Thermocouple Thermometer?
 
I didn't get online... That is the only way I would do any Black Friday shopping, I last shopped on black Friday in 1985. Never again in a store. The commercialism is despicable......
 
A new refrigerator and two flat screen televisions, all on sale!

Went to the LHBS for small biz saturday and got both of my next two batches with a 15% off coupon they offered...
 
Ordered a grain mill online but this is why I don't go out for BF anymore. That and I'm also old and can't stay out 2-3days in a row to wait in line. :)
Shop online instead until shops put some order to this madness. It was fun back when it was civil and more organized. Now it's a clusterf*#k of idiots pretty much looting the stores..

Gotta agree with ya there! Like Riggs & Murtaugh, "I'm getting too old for this shiz"! Shopped online yesterday & may do a bit more today. The sales are pretty good! :rockin:
