  1. I convinced my mom to finally switch over from a real tree to an artificial one, and Kohl’s had some nice ones to choose from, so that was the major online BF pickup from there. Plus you can’t beat getting $15 KC for spending $50. I like the novelty of a real tree but an artificial is just so much more clean. Other than that it was just a few odds and ends from Walmart. 

  2. Back in the Black Friday glory days, my mom, my two younger sisters, and I (also girl) were out around 4am. We had been drinking coffees for a while and were hanging out in the car outside the local mall waiting for store openings, when youngest sis (around 22yrs) decided she needed to go. Like right now lol. So there’s us, parked in the back lot of the mall up against a hill at 4am, while sis did the hide and squat. Good times 😆

  3. I agree with the people saying there shouldn’t be kiddos out in the sales. Seeing them in the stores and knowing what was gonna happen when the sales started always made me nervous. 
     

    But as Yondu would say; “they fit in places other people couldn’t. Good for thievin’.” 😆

  4. Mine isn’t one specific single item but just the many great deals on dvds/blu-ray discs that I used to be super excited for. I mostly got them at Wal-mart but sometimes grabbed a couple from Best Buy before they left town. There was nothing more exciting than walking around the big cardboard stand boxes containing the movies and figuring out where the specific ones I wanted were located, then staking out a spot to jump in. Of course that plastic shrink wrap tearing sound will live in my mind forever. And always just a bit before it was supposed to start lol.
     

    Now I don’t even have a disc player hooked up due to streaming, but grabbing those physical copies back then will always be my favorite deal memory!

  5. I am very baking impaired but these sound amazing!

  6. I’ll definitely go through the ads and see if there’s anything I need to snag online. I’ll check to see if my granny needs any of the food prep items. They usually have some good sales on kitchen things that she likes.
