  1. Yes! Definitely miss the old black Friday Friday's. I get most of my shopping done online now but a few of us diehards still go out Friday morning and hit some stores. I tag along for the camaraderie, the pressure is pretty much off so I just enjoy being in the moment and running the stores with family. I'm sure eventually I will stop going out.

  2. I have been frustrated with the coupons the past year, it's like the one Penney's used to send out. Here's $20 you can't use on anything. They have omited so many items, yes popular items that they used to take. I guess they were losing money :(

  3. Giant Ginger Cookies (bhg receipe)

     

    I make these every Christmas and they are outstanding. Great flavor and they bake up great! You won't be disappointed.

     

    Giant Ginger Cookies
     

    4  ½  cups all-purpose flour

    teaspoons ground ginger

    teaspoons baking soda

    1  ½  teaspoons ground cinnamon

    1teaspoon ground cloves

    ¼  teaspoon salt

    1  1/2cups shortening

    2cups granulated sugar

    2 eggs

    ½  cup molasses

    ¾  cup coarse sugar or granulated sugar

    Directions

    1.       In a medium mixing bowl stir together flour, ginger, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves, and salt; set aside.

    2.       In a large mixing bowl beat shortening with an electric mixer on low speed for 30 seconds to soften. Gradually add the 2 cups granulated sugar. Beat until combined, scraping sides of bowl occasionally. Beat in eggs and molasses. Beat in as much of the flour mixture as you can with the mixer. Using a wooden spoon, stir in any remaining flour mixture.

    3.       Shape dough into 2-inch balls using 1/4 cup dough. Roll balls in the 3/4 cup coarse or granulated sugar. Place about 2-1/2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet.

    4.       Bake in a 350 degree F oven for 12 to 14 minutes or until cookies are light brown and puffed. (Do not overbake or cookies will not be chewy.) Cool on cookie sheet for 2 minutes. Transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool. Store in a tightly covered container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months. Makes twenty-five (25) 4-inch cookies.

  4. Thank you for this thread! I am looking for a wireless printer to go with my mom's laptop and I will for sure be picking up one of these deals. Thanks for everyone's input and experiences. Maybe I will get a new printer too! My canon is still going, but yest, the color cart's kill me.
  5. I myself HATE the midnight openings. My best friend and I always used Black Friday as a girls day out. Would do the 5am Walmart, then Target. Grab a bite of breakfast and hit all of the other stores, then go to a buffet for lunch. Now our whole tradition is ruined :(

    Thats basically what I do with my die hard relatives. We just decide we are going out at 5 or 6. I do most of my shopping on line now so that takes a lot of pressure off and I can enjoy the moment, (if that makes sense) LOL :cheesy:
