I saw this on sale for $99. https://us.anovaculinary.com/
Sous Vide immersion tool.
I saw it on another forum and today it popped up on Facebook.
I shared it with my wife and crossed my fingers.
This is on my wish list but I don't expect to see it anytime soon.
I only did Black Friday once when I was in my mid-20s. Vowed to never do it again and haven't. I'm not being a wet blanket or a scrooge but my frugal inner person has always said, "Why must you buy something because it's on sale?'' Just me. There's never been anything I've really needed/wanted bad enough to plan the execution of its acquisition.
By the time you reach my age, more "stuff" is the last thing that's needed. George Carlin would be proud of me.
I have 4 daughters and 8 grandchildren. Christmas, as you can imagine, is not my favorite holiday.
Yesterday, to my surprise, my wife woke up at 6 am and went shopping.
She did not return home until almost 9:00 pm last night.
She told me she found so many great buys, that she was able to do all her Christmas shopping in one day. What normally took several days of repeat trips to the mall and downtown to get all these presents.
She told me that Black Friday was everything and more than it supposed to be. I would not go anyway and would rather pay full price and get it online or in the store at my convenience.
So, I'm more like you and so was she until yesterday. Shocking to a degree.
I understand about "volume" when it comes to taking care of our families.
Together, we have 9 children and 16 grandchildren (2 more on the way). I shop all year long and usually have everything in hand by the end of October. Wrap in November and ship, if necessary.
I began the October thing when I had sons in the military overseas. Their Santa had to be mailed by the end of October in order to ensure they'd have it by Christmas. Never got out of the habit.
One of the pluses of this is that I can usually glide through Thanksgiving and Christmas and enjoy both of them and any decorating that's wanted.
Again, just me. But it's worked for me for nearly 40 years.
If you can buy as you go along, I think that would be the best for me.
Buying items all at once produces a very big credit card bill. So, yes, I'm with you on this one. Besides, I hate shopping!
Should I start a thread on that Sous Vide immersion tool?
Or should I resurrect an old Sous Vide thread?
I am very interested, but want some opinions from the forum members before I buy it.
Thanks in Advance and happy holiday!

I would suggest you start a new thread. Sometimes old threads are ignored. Good luck.
Sorry I can't help here. I have no experience with this.
