No the shopping was never what did it. I used to love Christmas music and caught myself at the store thinking how much I hate "The 12 Days of Christmas" (it was playing). I don't remember being like this before. I have zero interest putting up the tree or decorations just to have to take them all down again. Even little things like buying wrapping paper seems like its pointless. I'm not depressed at all and don't have SAD just no Christmas spirit. That said, watching Christmas Vacation and Die Hard (YES ITS A CHRISTMAS MOVIE ) are always going to be a tradition. But maybe it will pass if we get snow. Its been unseasonably warm and we have yet to see even a flake (northern mn). Thank you for the suggestions. I wish you and yours the happiest of holidays and the Merriest of Christmas's

Maybe its just me but as I get older my list gets shorter. I hate that I'm losing my Christmas spirit now that the kids all have their own families spread all over the country

Keep an eye on Amazon too...got some for grandkids last year for $12ish

I moved to an area that is an hour from a wal-mart LOL so there is no going out for me to the big places, but will likely hit main street to support the local businesses

Wayfair - 47'' W Steel Top Workbench with Pegboard $143.99 Cabelas - FS10 Limited Edition Kayak Package $399.97 Cabelas - Edge Cellular Trail Camera 2 Pack $99.97 Home Depot - Dyson V8 Cordless Stick Vacuum 329.99 These are things I wouldn't normally buy myself so if I won a shopping spree, these are what I'd get

good to know...thank you!

We bought our mattress in store but only because DH really liked it. I personally would have been fine ordering online because I can sleep on anything and it doesn't bother me but if you have any sort of issues or if you like a certain firmness I'd go into the store. I know it took my DH about 2 months to notice anything with this mattress. We were told it was great for your back blah blah...and after 2 months I can say that he seems to have less back issues in the morning. But there is no way to know that when you first buy it.

Agreed. With my cap one card I get 2% and can use those for gift cards or to pay for purchases. I think that has helped the most. One year I bought my DD and SIL their plane tickets for their honeymoon (first class) and didn't even use all my points....that was precovid

I might be blind (old age sucks) but are there no Home Depot nor Lowes BF ads this year?

I love this shirt! Perfection

Just was informed we need a small table/utility cart for DHs 3D printer. So now thats on the list

I need Disney gc's if anyone sees deals please let me know

I need more craft stuff and baking. Ok I don't need but want. I think my DH would completely disagree and say we don't have space (I can always find space)

So frustrated with myself for missing a month 2 years in a row...its on my calendar and not missing out this year!

I'll take the 5 drawer Chests for 5.99. I actually have one of the 20 inch convertible bikes...with the training wheels and conversion rack. wonder what thats worth today?

Welcome to the new folks and Hi to all us oldies but goodies

I got banned from buying too much for the grandbabies this year They have too many people spoiling them. So this year is going to be pretty light. Actually looking at less "things" and more experiences for them...it would be nice if zoos, museums did black friday deals on their memberships (but I know they are non profit and need all they get).

I think they are going to continue to spread out the deals over weeks. This really messes me up when I am trying to plan on purchases but it changes weekly (rather than planning for the one day). I think based on the economy the stores are gonna need some really big sales and not just on tv's. Honestly I think most folks are over the TV deals unless they just had one go out.

And just like that it’s September

Happy August. Can do without this humidity but loving the summer.

Thought this was funny. Hopefully I don't offend anyone...I still LOVE BF.

Happy July all...2nd 1/2 of the year...here we come!

Hard to believe we are just shy of 5 months till BF

How is it possible we are in June already??? June!!!! Where has this year gone?

Happy May to all of you!
