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!

B

I love this idea!! Voted!!

#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!

I can’t believe June is almost over. I feel like the school year just ended, and my summer is flying by way to fast. I have been able to enjoy over a week in Hawaii, day trips and some fun, but my son is having knee reconstruction surgery next week. So that will delay some more summer travel. I just have a list of things I WANT to do!!

I really hate not being able to find a 30% when I want one. I have no idea how they select their coupons to customers....I think I will be spending less.

Me either! I have struggled this year finding anything I really want to buy in any of the ads! Except the PS5......I would have stood in line for that, and realize I have zero chance of getting one online!

Ps5 orders......are gonna crash their site no matter what anyone else wants.

Guess who’s kid decided he actually DID want a PS5?? Yep, mine! Ugh! The chances of getting my hands on one are roughly ZERO! Tried all day yesterday.

I start early every single year, but this year even more so. My crystal ball came with a crack and not knowing what situation we might be in, Christmas gifts were a priority for me during the summer months. That being said, I had yet another trip get cancelled last weekend so I started wrapping some of the gifts. It helped me feel what I was hoping to feel, and I have continued shopping and planning. Now I also booked a Disney World trip in December, and a week in Oregon right before Christmas.....so I also need to make certain everything is ready before that. Today I am wrapping, planning, making final lists!!

Nothing! What is wrong with me? My lists are so random from year to year and I have never purchased a Kohl's throw!! I am feeling like I might have been living life wrong so far!

I think this will be perfect for me!

#1 I must be dreaming #2 I thought you said you liked camping ? #3 the olden days of Christmas wishes along with Wish books from Sears! I am too tired to even try to be creative.......I just really want a chance to win!

I am a firm believer of right in plain sight.....disguised as something they would never look at. I had the snoopyist child ....he found a much coveted PlayStation 2 hidden under a vanity in my master. Who snoops that hard??? HIM! From that moment put items in boxes labeled things like Easter home decor, summer clothing. Anything that was completely normal, yet of no interest to him! Anything that could be snooped in like closets, he looked in!

I love my job, and the work calendar! I will enjoy the day off before Thanksgiving and after, making it a much needed 5 day weekend!

It is like the “blind packaging” toys all the cool kids want!
