December??? How did this happen?? Honestly my favorite time of year, I just hope to be able to enjoy it!

I am so bored!! This used to be a day filled with cooking, family, eating and PLANNING!!! Ugh! I miss in stores and the legit Black Friday experience!

I am wondering when we can expect details on the next 2 sessions!

Just ordered some Makita tool sets. Tried for some small items like the cargo net bungees, but it looks like they might be an in-store type purchase.

This year is off at my home. I thought I would go back to school (18 credit hours at a time) while still working full time. Shopping aspect is fine! It’s what I do to chill for a minute when I can. It’s the holiday prep that is scaring me, like the wrapping! I did take a weekend to fly to “ deliver” gifts to my sons family who won’t be home this year.

I find myself “ checking back in” thinking this can’t be their plan. Yet anytime I walk into our local store which is in complete shambles I am in shock. So this seems like this is my new level of expectation.

Shark Vertex vacuum ordered. Hopefully it love it!

OMG I am back in the CLUB!!!!

I personally really don’t like sorting through all of the 1000+ deals either from the third party sellers. No offense to them, but I like the simplicity of an ad! I even am a Walmart + person even though I can’t have order delivered from the store nor is there gas station in my area. I like the 7 hour head start!

I was hoping you had some super top secret insider info for us that is was going to drop tonight with certainty!!!

Budget? Honestly if I see something we really want or need I am lucky enough to not have to think about it. Last year I didn’t spend any, so it really just depends on what I see.

Rubbermaid food containers…..begrudgingly.

I am such a planner that this is really getting me out of my comfort zone!! Too close to November 7th to really appreciate the level of analysis I normally do for this event!

1. A tie between Walmart and Target for the average household and shopper. They seem to offer a great variety and amazing price points for families. 2.I have missed whooping in the stores, and will happily go if there is something worth going for. It is sport, it is fun, and I usually enjoy the people most of all! The energy can be amazing. 3. doorbusters…something FUN!!! I miss the excitement of things….

1. “Stay here and play with your car and mommy will be right back!” 2. One for your parents and one for mine! 3. it will be easier for us to find each other in the crowds!!

Public school employee, so I have always had the luxury of most of the week off work!

Oddly enough, I am busier now than I was when my children were younger. I work full time, and am a full time student. Planning is something that brings me comfort, yet I have less time to accomplish all the things I want. Shopping isn’t my problem, just getting everything at home ready! I came home from an annual girls trip last December, and my husband decorated for me. Not anything I would normally do, but it worked but do not want a repeat!!

Well here I am counting it down! My son’s birthday is on Monday, and I always spend it doing something Christmas in July. We will be down to 4 months. I don’t know whether to be excited or scared!

I wish we had some spoilers!!

I admit most of my shopping was done before Black Friday. I am in school full time, and working full time, and also have my girls get away vacation the weekend after. So I seriously pace and prepare myself. So my impulse buy was an extra PS5 to get to someone that wasn’t able to get their hands on one. I don’t know who yet……but someone will be happy. My kids have had their for a year, and I know some people are still trying. No, I never charge extra…..this is as close to being Santa as I could ever get.

Any updates on the #3 ad roll out timeline?? I am underwhelmed on #1 & #2!

#1 I don’t care if it was a bad movie…a $2 gift that I can pass for a $10 gift….count me in!! #2 I understood the assignment! #3 We used to call it camping in the wilderness, now we call it Glamping for game systems!
