They took away the 1% cash back on purchases, which has helped me out in the past... some people shopped there so much they racked up hundreds of dollars in cash back rewards... so there's one disappointment about the "re-branding"...

Hmmmm... I think we'll see early sales from the usual suspects, Wally World, Tar-jay, Kohl's... I don't think Wally World or Tar-jay (or any of the smaller stores) will be affected by the coming election at all, depending on where the store is located and the demographics people are still going to shop... I live close to the Canadian border and we have a lot of people who come from Canada DAILY to shop in Tar-jay specifically (several Tar-jays in the area to be exact)... if they only stock up to supply for the Canadians they would still make a killing because they do not care and are not affected by our election... but we see the same things on sale every year because there is always someone in need of one or more of those items, electronics, games, toys... now how much of a sale we will see on the usual products is a good question...

I got nothing... I remember using Shopkick a few years ago... you got points just for entering certain stores and walking around scanning certain items... those points would add up and be eligible for gift cards to stores... I haven't done a lot of in-store shopping since Covid so I haven't used the app since 2020 or so... but I enjoyed it when I did... how much you earned was based on you... I earned enough to select a $25 Walmart gift card and that would have been higher if I would have started earlier in the year...

I am in need of a new tree this year... 30% off is not bad, but checking past sales ads to see if there were other deals closer to BF...

I really enjoy revisiting the old ads, but then I get a little sad because it's not the same any more... I liked waiting for the ads to get "leaked" on this site and being one of few who got early viewing privileges...

I hope it's not too long... although I saw a comment on FB from another longshoreman/woman who said they will just re-route to another port on the opposite coast like they normally would and they are waiting for the business...

I'm interested to see what their inflation-free holiday meal prices will look like from October 14-December 25... I know I can easily spend $200 just for Thanksgiving dinner and that's a conservative number... with food prices ridiculously high, I'm sure I would be looking at over $200 easily this year just for that one meal.

I love the holiday scents... I buy candles every season (too many most of the time) and couldn't wait for the Fall candles to come out so I can buy too many

When I saw how early it was starting this year, I have to admit I smiled a bit... I know it's too early for some, but it's a simple pick me up for me... something that I can indulge in guilt free, inside my home, and doesn't cost me extra... Can't wait!!!!

You know it's begun when you see this post!!!!

Sad, but true... Just the other day I was thinking back on the stores I used to hit up every BF, starting with K-Mart on Thanksgiving morning, Toys R Us and/or KB Toys were always a stop... how standing in long lines in the cold, snow and/or rain was the norm and I couldn't wait to do it... but yeah, it's pretty much dead in 2024...

1. Alright, before we open those doors let’s get a group photo…on the count of three say “smile now, cry later” 2. Stood outside in line for 3 hours to stand in the checkout line for two hours to buy one thing!! 3. Just let me rest my eyes for 10 minutes and I’ll be good to go…

Good Monday Morning

Annnnd Happy Birthday to me
