I'm so glad you're enjoying it!

Did y'all watch The Christmas Chronicles on Netflix? It was a cute movie. Really made me cry at the end though .

I had to read it a couple times, LOL. I will be pushing the deadline this year. I've gotten one thing for my SS, but a couple other things are going to be a little time consuming.

We stood in line outside Cabella's last year. Froze our tails off, but I loved it. LOL. My 18 year old niece was with us and I told her THIS is what Black Friday is supposed to be about! We had to get up early for Academy and Home Depot this year, so we got a little taste .

I already can't wait!

It sounds like what you're describing is typical of Black Friday at most stores. I can tell you the Academy I was at this morning had 2 lines for the firearms. One to get a ticket, then a 2nd line at the gun counter. I'm not sure about quantities in our store though, the first line was right by the front door, so if there were any issues I didn't hear about them.

We received more comments on our t-shirts this year than ever before (there are 3 of us), including 1 person that asked if were "sponsored" by GottaDEAL. LOL

I can't believe it's already over. It went so fast this year, I almost feel like I missed the whole season. I know you and your troop of volunteers worked your behinds off for us, as usual. Thanks for everything Brad!

We didn't get in any big hurries this year. The only places we stood in line were Bass Pro on Wednesday and Academy this morning. But I'm pretty sure we were able to get everything on our lists. The only exception was a little doll set at Kohl's that we just couldn't find. It was still available online, but my daughter said she had just wanted to look at it and wasn't sure she wanted to get it anyway. Of course, we weren't after anything like TVs or Computers, but it sounds like we would have been alright even if we had been.

I've really enjoyed the Discord server. I wonder though...Do you think it affected the number of posts here on the site? Also, (just because I don't know how it works), does less traffic on the site itself matter in the grand scheme, as long as we use the partner links?

it's so slow. And when I do get to the page I want, the price is wrong .

I went for the first time last year. The line was so long, there was no way. But, getting through the store wasn't bad. I saw what I was looking for, went to the car and bought online from my phone. Picked it up in store the next day. MUCH better.

FYI... QVC has the Cooks Essentials 5.3 qt on sale for $69.98 with free shipping. I ordered this for my daughter for Christmas, during Christmas in July, and gave $99.98 for it. Too bad it was so long ago, I'd ask for a price adjustment . https://www.qvc.com/Cooks-Essentials-53qt-Digital-Air-Fryer-w-10-Presets-%26-Pan.product.K46295.html?sc=PRODFEED Also, if you apply for and use a Qcard, you can get $20 off your first purchase, so this could be $49.98.

The only ad I still need is Atwoods, which I believe is either a local or at least a regional store so we won't see it on here. I get so spoiled to getting the ads early, that one is always a frustration. LOL

CDKeys has it for $45.99 right now. They've had it down to $41.99 twice that I know of in the past month. I bought it for 41.99 last week. Just keep an eye on them. https://www.cdkeys.com/xbox-live/memberships/12-month-xbox-live-gold-membership-xbox-one-360 I've found it down to $30-$35 in the past, but not the last 2 or 3 years.

Just figured out there is no way to submit a grocery pick up receipt. Now I'm upset about this all over again.

Man, one of the hardest parts is finding something you think they'd like, but then thinking "ya, she probably already has that".

As everyone starts shipping, please don't forget to PM me with your tracking numbers. Also, and I'm starting this one early, PLEASE post when you receive your gifts, even if you are not planning to open them yet.

No, their ads used to be 20-25 pages long.

WOW. We don't have a Gordman's anymore, so I opened this expecting to be really sad about what we're missing as it was always one of our favorite stops. Gone are the huge Gordman's BF ads, I guess.

They had a 5qt for $199.99 in last year's ad.

My car has the nav system, but the entire screen has "slid down", if that makes sense, so I can barely change presets on my radio stations and using the nav is almost always out of the question (I've googled it, and this is apparently an issue in a lot of Toyotas). I've been considering getting a new GPS unit too. We didn't have that kind of problems with gps devices.

My ornaments are packaged up and will go out in the mail tomorrow. Hopefully she will have them before she puts up her tree . Secret Santa is a different animal. I've had so many ideas, but none of them are working out so far. Hopefully real inspiration will strike.

I don't shop Macy's, but I think most rebates anymore are sent to you on a Visa gift card. Surely if it was store credit, they would have to disclose that, right?

OMG, y'all! Black Friday is NEXT WEEK! The season is almost over.
