waited for an hour in the checkout line.
How much is your wife's time worth, per hour? If the amount of money saved by "competitive shopping" - and that's a great description - exceeds that, then it's a net loss, amirite?
I have tried using that argument with my wife so many times when she has a chore for me. Want to guess how many times it has worked?

Just tell her that she's overreacting and to calm down.
That usually works.

Should I also point out that she is likely over emotional due to the raging hormones from her monthly cycle? -
I took advantage of sales on things I buy periodically. Amazon had a lot on sale, like vitamins and some toiletry items.
Exciting, I know.

That led me to look up multi-vitamin supplements on Amazon.com and indeed at this time it offers some savings over my other sources, so I placed an order. Thanks, @jon-nyc.
For those looking for external SSDs, Amazon.com has got the Samsung EVO 870 series on pretty steep discount.
Apple Inc. stuff ... Apple Store gives you gift cards for select items but Costco seems to directly discount the sale price and offers further savings (e.g., Apple Store has the basic M1 MacBook Air at $1000 paired with a $150 gift card but Costco just sells it at $800).

Does those type of hard drives fit into a "dock" like the one you and @George-K suggested before?

If it's a SATA interface, then yes.
There's a nice selection at NewEgg that'll work.
There's a Western Digital "Green" 1TB for $50. 2TB is $140.

I went out on a Black Friday sale a few years back for something I needed, but I went at 8:00 pm, a hour before closing. Stores were empty, lines nonexistent. I was able to do a lot in a short amount of time. Now, we rarely set foot in stores - except for groceries or when something requires being tried on or demonstrated.
