I was just wondering when firecrackers and fireworks go on sale and I'd be interested to know what you spend on them?
I'm not a fan of fireworks and firecrackers because my dog doesn't really like them when they go off

I also found this article about it:
Fireworks can be set off again at the turn of the year 2023/24. According to Statista, New Year's Eve sales in Germany amounted to around 180 million euros in 2022, which is higher than ever before. For many, this means buying fireworks and firecrackers.

When can you buy fireworks?
In Germany, the Explosives Act regulates when fireworks and firecrackers can be bought. According to § 22 1. SprengV, firecrackers and fireworks may only be sold from December 29 to 31. As New Year's Eve 2023 falls on a Sunday, the sales period for firecrackers and fireworks this year begins on Thursday, December 28, 2023.

The anti-socials are already eagerly awaiting the next Purge night where they can attack the cops/paramedics/fire brigade again. Or would you prefer to destroy bus stops and vehicles? Or the classic mass sexual harassment of women by rednecks in the city center or at events. It will definitely be exciting again and not so funny for some people. I haven't spent any money on it for years and I don't understand why you should celebrate a new year anyway, but hey, another reason to get senselessly drunk in boozy Germany. Sure, when I was a kid/teenager you were always there, even the neighbors had the whole car full and enough stuff to blow up a neighborhood. I used to have a rod from the bed that you could take off and had two ends. If you took the plugs off, you had a great "bazooka" to shoot rockets, it was really cool. But I don't need that anymore and it wouldn't do the animal world or my wallet any harm to do without fireworks. Here's to a safe (Purge) night😉

since I've had a dog I don't think New Year's Eve is so great any more, but of course I also understand that without a pet you don't think about it at all.

Like every New Year's Eve, money is only invested in good food and alcohol. 😁
Others can bang!

Never spent any money on it and it will stay that way. For what? For 20 seconds of puff puff?

Bought some nice batteries for €200 today 👍

There were about 30 of us on New Year's Eve and everyone bought €200 worth.

Just love this peaceful balling.

And how many times have I blown hundreds of euros on a casino?

So I still have an emotional value.

I'm a bit of a pyromaniac

Hey and the people this morning were like crazy.

We sold out everything in Kaufland within 5 hours - but tomorrow they'll do it again

Let's hope it stays peaceful everywhere and that our police get through it well

You used to spend a lot of money on rockets, but now you're getting older and suddenly everything isn't so cool anymore - I mean, of course fireworks are cool, but you don't have to bang them yourself at every corner anymore

I still have two dogs and one of them is quite relaxed and doesn't care at all but the other one is scared to death and as every year a few idiots are already banging from 28 to 10.01 I at least contribute to not making any noise

Well, I feel quite naked without it at 3,2,1,...0 o'clock
Sure, as kids we picked up all the unexploded bombs we could find the next day... Even if the fuse was short xD

Medium packs of rockets with odds and ends and a battery for the final are enough for me now.
(oh, how much of the annual particulate matter does this one night a year generate?)
:-P greets and have a nice party, with or without!

Maybe I'm the most frugal here when it comes to spending on fireworks? This is the twelfth year in a row that I haven't spent a single cent on fireworks. But in my youth, when I was still out with lots of friends, I also spent at least 100 euros on fireworks every New Year's Eve.

I don't spend anything on them either... 😁

I've never spent any money on them all my life. I'm over 30 years old, so nope, I'm not the most frugal Maybe as a little boy I spent €5 on it 1-2 times, but I was only allowed to buy cheap stuff because my mother thought the other stuff was too dangerous. For example, those peas that explode when you throw them on the floor. As previously mentioned, everything else was forbidden

I think the money is much better off in the casino

I also went to Bremen today to buy some rockets and batteries, so I won't miss out on that

But most of the money went on the raclette ingredients.
