I got a lot of flack when I posted a Hatchimal on a local site last year. A few thought that I should give it to them since they needed it more than me. Um, no. I spend a few hundred dollars every year on charity Christmas gifts as it is. I bought it with good intentions. My daughter just didn't want it. The kicker was that I wasn't even selling it! I was offering it as a trade. I eventually got a decent lawn mower for it. Nothing special and it was old but in good condition. I feel it was a very fair trade, but some people don't think things are fair unless they get something out of it.
Exactly. I had people saying I should donate it and others asking how I could sleep at night. I listed it for over the price I paid, but much less than eBay or Amazon. I stood in line for a couple of hours to get it. I ended up selling it for less that I originally asked, but still made a little bit extra. Then people were saying I should donate the money..they have no idea what I do with extra money I get..maybe I already do!

Well I may have been right people here are already jacking up the prices
ImageUploadedByGottaDeal1504733260.385655.jpgI managed to snag one at Walmart last week. It was $14.98, and when I checked eBay there were some going for $35. I'm gonna sit on mine a couple of weeks and try to turn a profit on eBay.
I managed to get a Hatchimal last year and listed it on Facebook and got REAMED by some people. They were shocked that I'd try to sell it for more than I paid..sorry, don't like it? Don't buy it

I've bought an Under Armour sweatshirt for the 22 year old Exchange son and a shirt off the clearance rack at Hibbitt's Sports for the husband.

Thanks wittenlover- my mom, sister, and I were all huddled around the screen trying to make those titles out. May have added a few more to the list now though!
Anyone have an experience with the enamel cookware like the Pioneer Woman set? I've heard it scratches pretty easily but only if you use metal utensils, not the plastic or silicone that comes with it. I need new pots and pans. My sister and I may be fighting over the aqua colored sets though, we both want it! Pretty sure it's going to be a hot item at our store, cookware is usually gone in the initial rush. They just bought a new house so the home-goods have her excited, her list is bigger then mine now. Going to need three carts this year instead of the usual two. She wants pretty much all the basic new appliances, cookware set, the dishes, and one of the big vacuums. Plus the usual toys, kids clothes, and movies. Fun-fun though, I love a challenge.
I have the PW pots and pans. I love them. I typically use silicone or wood utensils and haven't had any scratching. I've had mine about a year. I love the fact that they're dishwashwer safe.

Me too! But, the cookware set does look nice.
I have the cookware and I love it!

I was a stay at home mom for many years, but my husband took a vacation day to stay home so I could shop. I now work at a college, and the college is closed as part of Thanksgiving break
Hubs still takes the day to stay home with the kids though. -

My aunt is a department manager for Walmart. She said last week they had a managers meeting and were told to plan schedules the same as last year (6pm, 8pm, etc) The District Manager acted surprised as he was told everything would be happening on Friday. Their schedule was put out, "subject to change". Also, she said they no longer get Holiday Pay for working. So if you call in sick, you only get 1 point, vs more since it is just your regular hourly rate. If it's just one point on their record, what's stopping anyone from calling in?

I got the fitbit, and got a confirmation email.

I went to my Walmart this morning. The ad they had in store was all of 4 pages, not 8 like online. They had NO tv's. I ended up having to pull up the ad from GD to the correct sale prices on items for two other people at the checkout as well. Everyone I talked to in the store had no idea there even WAS a sale, let alone have any helpful information.

I told her chameleons don't make good pets....until my MIL said she had one as a girl and loved it!

I love this thread!
My 9 year old daughter asked for Nutella, easy cheeze in a can and whipped cream in a can. And a chameleon. She's getting three of the four

I called my local Hometown Sears store, and the owner told me that many Hometown stores will open on Wednesday before Thanksgiving from 5-8 with all Black Friday sales availalble

I got the ipad mini for 199 today.
I did too. I figure by the 15 day time limit for returns is up, I'll know if there is a better deal elsewhere.

We go to my In-Laws on Thanksgiving, but have it with my mom's family the weekend before. As far as Christmas goes, we do the In-Laws the weekend before, and my parents just some random day. Christmas Day is for MY family, at MY house
Other holidays we will celebrate at other times as well. With big families, sometimes it is the only way to get together.-

Yay!! We're needing a new dishwasher, so I was really glad to see this!
Most of these deals will be online too, yes? Our local Sears is one of those super small, appliance only stores.

We go to my husband's parents on Thanksgiving day. Menu will probably be roasted turkey, mashed potatoes, noodles, a vegetable of some sort and rolls. I'll make bourbon cranberry sauce, caramel pecan pie, chocolate pie, pecan pie cheesecake and pumpkin roll.

I'm sorry for you and your children. My parents divorced when I was 16, and I remember it being weird at first. In time, we grew to create new memories and traditions and I hope the same for you all.
I like the idea of dinner in the crockpot and taking in a movie on Christmas Eve. Drive through some lights on the way home, too!

My most memorable is taking my exchange student son with us BF shopping. He is Swiss and had never even heard of BF. We shopped all night and as we got home, after the sun was up he looked at me and said "Mom. You are insane. I love you...goodnight" I miss that guy.

Was your daughter in a children's hospital? Maybe make a special visit and do an activity with kids that are still there? Make ornaments or decorate cookies?

I keep looking on amazons site and cannot find lists of upcoming deals in each category. Am I blind? How are y'all finding these lists?
This.

I found the Nerf Rebelle gun in the front of my store, where the Halloween Costumes were a few weeks ago. It might be worth looking if you can't find any in your toy dept.
Great! Thanks! I'll check it out tomorrow. I've got to go back for a couple things.

Olney, Illinois (Southeastern part of the state) had their deals in store. Just got back with Disney Infinity for $37. There weren't any on the shelf, but I asked and they had two in the back!My store doesn't have the right Nerf Rebelle gun though.
Black Friday deals that turned spooky

The Walmart PJs and movies for sure. The PJs always run small, so my kids get maybe two wears out of them before they shrink and pill. I bet we have 50 movies still in plastic that we've never watched but I bought because they were cheap. Last year I had to keep reminding myself not to buy them!
