Like in previous years, I'd like to remind you that Black Friday is a great day to find bargains and also a great day to waste money on things you never knew you didn't need.
Also, always remember: There are only so many single skein projects out there. If you'd like to shop for yarn, do it with a precise project in mind. Otherwise, they'll be tossed in the same box where all the other beautiful "look how soft it is but I have no idea what to do with it" skeins are gathering dust.
If you always wanted to buy a nice interchangeable knitting needle set, on the other hand, you might find a great bargain today. But if you already have one (or two), you probably are aware that another shiny new tool won't turn you into a better knitter, either.
Personally, I use this day to stock up on cosmetics for the full year. So day/night cream, hand lotions, these kind of things. I am going to buy them anyway, I know very well how much they cost (so there's no fooling me with hiked-up prices). So why not buy them at a discount of 10-40%, right?

And above all, apply common sense :)
