Re: Black Friday shopping accomplishments.
 

we got a PS3 with a game and a blueray dvd for 399 - not a great saving but we would have paid 399 for it without the game and dvd so cant complain.......we also bought another 3 games for cheaper, i got my sister a dvd for $5 and a vax hoover thingy for $35.

Re: Black Friday shopping accomplishments.
 

My accomplishment was managing not to buy anything! (Staying away from the shops helped but the ever-present internet was a constant temptation).

Nice price on those tampons, by the way. :)

Re: Black Friday shopping accomplishments.
 

But the chocolate would get your ears all gooey.

Re: Black Friday shopping accomplishments.
 

LOL its my treat to myself ;) as for chocolate I did indulge in those terribly addictive cherry chocolates that Wal-Mart and a few other carry for a $1 a box lol, they bring them out ever year and I am can't help myself :D

Think they are cherry cordials.

Re: Black Friday shopping accomplishments.

Re: Black Friday shopping accomplishments.
 

Yer right...you don't do so bad ;)

Re: Black Friday shopping accomplishments.
 

Well you were a busy little beaver, DeeDee

Are you soaking those toes about now??????????

Re: Black Friday shopping accomplishments.
 

I was tempted by the Target $40 DVD player but resisted shopping.
You must be one of those CVS thrifty mamas with the card thing and all the points and free items. I still haven't figured it all out and our Longs is supposed to become a CVS so i need to get into all that.

Re: Black Friday shopping accomplishments.
 

Is that each? Surely you can roll your own for less?

Re: Black Friday shopping accomplishments.
 

Took my youngest son and daughter out to renew the contracts on their cell phones, daughter got a LG Spyder touch screen one and son got a Blackberry Curve. The phones cost $50 each and they both paid for their own!:thumbsup:

Re: Black Friday shopping accomplishments.
 

Internet... easy, snug & warm.

For everything else... January Sales!!

Re: Black Friday shopping accomplishments.
 

Picked up a digital camera for the FIL, for a little under $200 bucks (60% off). Got some Kakis and a sweater from Banana Republic for $25 each, both down from $65. Then got a casimere sweater half off at $30 and then the biggest find was in Levis were I bought an $80 sweater for only $15 bucks.

So overall, minus the camera, I got only spent $95 but the biggest shop will come in January.

Does cleaning up my department at the store after customers have come through and trashed it count as an accomplishment ? I started work at 2pm and by 11 had just about managed to return the dept to normality.
Needless to say working in retail black friday doesnt excite me so much and I certainly wouldnt be out of bed at 4am to shop.

We visited a mall on Black Friday - but not the shopping kind: Our Black Friday accomplishment was getting the kids from one of the National Mall in Washington DC to the other and back again without any whining (and without buying anything other than the odd snack).

Re: Black Friday shopping accomplishments.
 

Not sure which is the best shift...5.30am - 2.15pm here in Joann's in Austin. Could not believe that people were lining up for fabric at 5am! Must admit the price of flannel at $1.49 a yard and fleece at $2.99 was good but one woman bought over 300 yds of the stuff!

Needless to say I don't shop on Black Friday:D

Re: Black Friday shopping accomplishments.
 

Aw they are indeed, brings back memories, used to give them to my dad for xmas every year. :)

So you'll be able to listen to all sorts of music whilst washing, shaving and soothing the rash on your menstrauting fanny :confused:

I think you're refering to the the original poster

Re: Black Friday shopping accomplishments.
 

Had to go to Wally World on Friday and there was no one there! Their Xmas area was half the size it used to be and the selection was rubbish (I know, it is Walmart but.....)

Re: Black Friday shopping accomplishments.
 

Nice job. I got the $50 luggage at Macy's and called it a day. I gave 19-yr-old her laptop early (hers fried at school), I'm going shopping with 21-yr-old for clothes either weekend before or after Xmas (his choice), and DH and I decided we're going after Xmas for our prezzies.
