I ended up getting some ssds last black Friday, but only because they were 20% cheaper than they'd been all year. Now the prices are even higher, so I don't feel like I bought at the wrong time

Oh totally. If you're not watching the prices of something you want and just using it as an opportunity to impulse shop you get fleeced.
