Think I might have to pickup a few of the mini toolboxes

I wish! I’m definitely no where near done but I have a few things crossed off my list. My sister just finished her shopping this past weekend & will probably have it all wrapped by the end of the week. I definitely missed that gene!

I haven’t shopped at Menards on Black Friday in a few years. I’m looking forward to see what they have in their ad.

Tis the season! Looking forward to more deals this year!

Count me in for Switch game deals & maybe some AirPods

I submitted my order & it just kept spinning until finally a screen came up saying the order couldn’t be completed because of the payment method. I tried to fix it but then it sent me back to the queue. 20 minutes later, I’m still in the queue & an order confirmation comes thru my email. A far better experience than the TS ticket debacle but still annoying.

Thank you for sharing! This worked for me too.

Christmas Vacation & A Christmas Story are definitely my favorites. I also have several older movies & Christmas tv specials that I hold a special affinity for simply because they bring me back to my childhood - Garfield’s Christmas, A Chipmunk Christmas, & The Christmas Gift (with John Denver) among others.

I think books are a great gift idea for all ages. Here’s my most recent read that I’d recommend for young women - https://www.amazon.com/Remember-God-Annie-F-Downs/dp/1433646897/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1540311906&sr=8-1&keywords=annie+downs

Half price books 10/5

Both for me! I'll shop doorbusters online & head out to the stores on Friday. Sent from my iPhone using GottaDEAL

Walmart is the only grocery left in my small town, so I saved a lot more price matching store ads from neighboring towns than I do with the savings catcher app. Couple that with my local Walmart always having higher prices on things like milk/eggs/bread than even neighboring Walmart stores & it's always poorly stocked- now I grocery shop out of town when running other errands.

I've shopped for years with just my mom. My sister tagged along a couple of years ago & swore never again. I think it was the long checkout lines that really did her in. Sent from my iPhone using GottaDEAL

There are so many great recipes here! This is my easy & go-to recipe for Christmas morning- Breakfast Casserole 6 eggs 1 cup milk 1 cup Bisquick 1 lb breakfast sausage, cooked & cooled 1 cup of shredded cheese Salt & pepper to your liking Mix together & pour into a greased 9x13 pan. Store in fridge overnight. Bake at 350 for 40 mins or until eggs are set. My favorite part of this recipe is that I can put it together the day before & put it right in the oven to bake while presents are being opened. Sent from my iPhone using GottaDEAL

Those Big One pillows & throws always find a way in my cart each year as well. I've also picked up gingerbread house kits for the last few years from Michaels or Joanns on Black Friday. Sent from my iPhone using GottaDEAL

I like to go to the tree farm the first weekend in December. It's not as busy & the employees have their opening weekend "rehearsal" out of the way. All of the other Christmas decorations are brought out Thanksgiving weekend.

The traditional Thanksgiving meal is one of my favorites. I'd eat it year round if I could. We stick to a fairly traditional menu as well with whatever funky recipes catch our attention on Pinterest that year. Turkey Sage dressing My nephew's green bean casserole Pioneer Woman's sweet potato casserole Mom's cauliflower salad Rolls served with homemade cranberry butter Mrs. Wick's sugar cream pie Pumpkin roll

I think stores will avoid official releases on Election Day, but I wouldn't be surprised to see several shortly thereafter when tired eyes are ready for something besides post election coverage.

Ha, that's great!

Bring on the ads!

I always shop Black Friday with my mom. We make a good no-fuss shopping pair. We brought a friend along once & even though they made for good company, we never invited anyone else along. It's been just the two of us ever since.

Looks like this week last year there were quite a few ads leaked. Can't wait to see what the upcoming days bring!
