NEVER. Working in email marketing for a major telecomm company has totally turned me off of Black Friday... we do SO MANY emails.
And to be honest, I always forget about Cyber Monday.

Waiting to see what OVH has for their KimSufi and SoYouStart lines this year. I may, if the cost is close to what I'm paying, migrate my site over to a larger server.

Interesting. Prices are low even now!
But I see by default, SoYouStart servers are hosted in Canada. That brings me to a question -- does that mean websites hosted on it are default to Canada's online policies? Do you make sure you follow their rules as well?

That's why I try to pick the US servers.
But honestly... the US is getting just about as bad as other countries in what they try to enforce.
As for "following their rules".... the point can be made that since my "company" is not based where the server is, then I don't have to. By the same token, they can argue that since the data is based in their country (this applies to any hosting provider) it falls under that countries privacy requirements. It is one reason why I will never have a server hosted in the EU.
Since OVH is ultimately based in France, one could argue that you have to comply with GDPR no matter where you (or the server) is.

OVH Black Friday sales are active.
I'm thinking about grabbing a SYS-1 system (twice the cores, a little more storage and 1Gbps pipe). It's only $30 a month and no setup fee. I'm currently paying $15 for the KimSufi one I have.
I'm having a hard time though justifying it, other than the bigger 1Gbps vs 300Mbps pipe that I currently have since the current one barely has any load on it (and that is with running an ElasticSearch instance on it also).
