Hi everyone... OP here,
Now that Black Friday, and weekend shopping is almost over.. and cyber Monday is tomorrow just checking in to see how everyone did...
I got a later start on Black Friday than normal, I got out around 8:30 am ish... To be honest after cooking 2 Thanksgivings, one for my parents on Tuesday then drove 130 miles RT to deliver it on Wednesday and then cooked for my family on Thursday, I was tired. Also I really did not know what to expect... List in hand I started out... Kohls was on my radar 1st up, I did really good, was lucky enough to get everything on my list and then some.. I scored a Kindle Fire 8 for my Grandson, he was ready for a upgrade and I got it at the sales price 79.99... I did find some jeans for my mom, she has lost so much weight, that I am hoping that these won't be to big, they were on sale for 14.99, in Petite.. which I had a hard time early on finding petites in a smaller size... the annual bra sale was going on, hallelujah.. 14.99 yes please, I can not see paying 50 and 60 buck for one bra, I picked up a Coke hoodie for my DD, which was not on my list, and at 9.99 it was such a good price, its light weight and super soft she will love it. The kids department was turned up side-down so much so that I skipped looking for my great niece some PJ's or an outfit... When I was speaking to a employee, she said that they had a line at 5:00am... I was glad that I waited to head out shopping, I missed it the chaos, the store was busy, and I got lucky and did not even have to wait in line check out... As I was leaving cars had started streaming into the parking lot.
Next up Wal-mart - I had finally found a toaster oven for my parents in the black friday ad's. I thought for sure that I would miss out due to how late I started out shopping... I asked a employee, and she said hang on a second, and here comes a palette full of them, I was like wow, the stock guy took one off the pile and even put it in my cart for me... 49.99.. which I was really happy about, I thanked her and she said oh our manager, has us bring out stuff in intervals, so that everyone gets a chance, as well there is stock in the back for the curbside pick up.. Which I thought was really fair. I picked up some more legos' for my grandson, and some kinda pokemon thing, don't ask I have no idea what I even bought, when he and I were in the store, he was on and on about it, so I went back and got it... I headed over to the grocery side to pick up a few things on my regular Wal-mart run, and I asked where the marshmallows were, and the manager directed me, and then said, just so you know we have started limiting certain items again, I was oh I think that's great, that everyone has a chance to get what they need... I did get lucky and score a big package of bounty paper towels, limit 1 - no TP in the whole store... I noticed that all the can goods had limit's signs, only because I was in those aisles...
Next up Bealls - I completely struck out here...nothing that was on my list...
I was planning to hit JoAnn's and Home Goods & Marshall, Ross and Old Navy, all of them had lines outside of the stores to wait to go in, Nope, did not feel like waiting to get into the store... I then decided to swing around over to V. Secrets, and Bath and Body, again both of those lines to get into the store where really long, I decided then I wasn't even going to try to get into Target, so I just headed home, had some leftovers for lunch and watched a movie...
Yesterday I picked up a cook book at First Watch for my son in law... we went in for breakfast really yummy...
Today we hit up, Best buy for the other item that was on my son in laws list, ear buds... we got lucky we got sony ear buds for 69.99 which was the black friday price, he was like the sign is still up you get them for that price... sweet...
My DH is laying down right now, and I did sort everything, I actually am almost done !!!!! Yay
I need to get my Dad some smaller shorts, and T-shirts for around the house, he has lost so much weight... I need some gift cards, which are easy peasy, Some type of Star Wars t-shirt for my son in law, one more thing for DH, Candy and some odds and ends for the stockings... and I will be all done... I need and Elvis calendar for my mom...
I have 45.00 in Kohl's cash, plus I should have a 20 dollar Kohls' store points cert. on Dec the 1st, and I have either a 15 or 20% off the total purchase... so that should help out, I am shopping again on Tuesday... So I will let you know how it shakes out at Kohls...
I plan on decorating outside, putting up my tree, wrapping gifts this week... and be done with it by the weekend... Hopefully I will get it all done..
Happy Shopping everyone, we are in the home stretch now...

. So I picked up the JBL Flip 4 at Best Buy on sale. For some reason, they dropped the speakerphone feature from the Flip 5, so I needed to get the 4 while there was still stock. Note I won't use it for work calls - I use Teams or Skype with a headset for those - it'll just be used for personal calls on my cell phone, which are mostly from my sister or daughter, a few times a week. So...yeah....
