No black Friday for me

November 29th, 2010 at 04:05 am

I am not a black Friday shopper.....I just cannot stand the crowds and the rude pushy people. I would rather just search around and find deals. I find that most stores seem to have a bunch of the same deals, sales, a coupons starting the day after Thanksgiving and they run through Christmas Eve. I am not an online shopper but I still feel I can find a good bargain. I already have a bunch of coupons saved in a pile and some shopping planned.

My DH went to Office Depot about a week ago for some ink cartridges for our printer.....a nice surprise....he came home with a free $15 I Tunes card......that will be a gift for one of the girls.

DD1 was home from college this week. We had a great time with her. Money was spent on some family activities.....we all went to see Harry Potter....tickets x 4....ugh.....but I had a $15 gift card from work so that helped. I used my Regal Rewards card and we have now earned enough points for a free movie ticket. Of course we had to have popcorn....at least we got a refill on the large Smile

We also went downtown to see a Christmas program.....tickets were purchased a while ago but we did go out to dinner after....Red Robin and $60 later....then ice cream.....

I really need to purchase an Entertainment book. My grandmother used to give us one every year at Christmas but didn't last year. I was able to purchase one from a co-worker who's son was selling them for his school...$10.00...can't beat that! But, they are not selling them this year as apparently, many who had a book to show people didn't return them and didn't pay for them. I guess they just don't want to take that risk. I feel they are a good bargain....we definately use our money's worth. We also trade coupons with friends and family who have the book also.

I have a big to do list to write out and start working on for the coming week.

Good night all!

    I'm with you. Didn't go shopping Friday either. I would only do that if I were going to buy a big ticket item that was ridiculously low. I did my shopping for my grandkids this morning online and it will be shipped to them prior to our arrival. Makes it so much easier. Just hate those crowds on Friday and the traffic.

    Black Friday does not look like fun to me. I like sleeping more than I like standing outside in the cold!

    I can't stand Black Friday... it seems to undermine the spirit of the season for me and just leads to stress. I'd rather do my shopping all year and have it done, so I have some insurance of being able to enjoy the holidays!
