I am debating between a Nascar race tickets or XM radio and clothes. He too seems to find only good clothes to wear to work. He works in the oilfield. There is just something about going to a nice resturant with the smell of oil on his jeans. Last year he got a big screen. So no TV's this year.

I guess I have been nice. My husband just bought me a new Tahoe and he still wants to know what I want for my birthday and Christmas. I was expecting the Tahoe to be my gifts for the next 5 years.:)

I know I do. But that is why I spend BF shopping for the best deals. If I did not research weeks prior to BF for the best price, my boys would not get near what they do. But they are worth it. I am just glad I can do what I do for them. I try to set a limit but I alway go over. But when my money is gone, that is it. I will not charge any of my Christmas. I just work extra hard prior to BF.

This is exactly how I do my "organization". I guess great minds think alike.:) I do carry my purse, but it only holds my ads. I put my debit card and cash in the inside pocket of my jacket. So if someone decides that they need my purse, they will be surprised to only find my ads.

I was out the door by 3:00 last year. I drive about 35 minutes to a larger town. This year with WM opening earlier, I will have to be up and gone earlier. Oh well, I love BF.

I usually wrapp all of mine. After spending all of that money, I can't afford to pay to have them wrapped.

I husband HATES to go shopping. But he will stay home with the kids. Plus if I am alone, he doesn't know what I spend. Not that he would care. This is the one day I have to myself. I and take complete advantage of it. Out by 3 am and not home til late.

I get a paper at home and then I buy one in the town that I go shopping in. It is the same paper but they don't put all of the ads in the surrounding towns delivered papers.

Isn't BF a national holiday. Well I would vote for it to be. lol

Usually my DH. But I do have a back up sitter. Can't miss BF. lol

I was beginning to think I was the only cray person on this board. I leave around 3 am and drive 45 minutes. But I usually don't get home until 6 pm at the very earliest. It has been midnight before. I this is the one day I shop as long as I want and not be bothered by hubby. He knows he is getting his monies worth on this day. Not I don't have to worry about my boys on that day. Mom's Day:gd_purple I completely take advantage of it.

My local WM would not price match during the blitz times. They would only pm the weekend ads. I wished they all had the same policy. But I guess is depends on the store management. And our employees and management are not friendly at all.

My BF peeve is getting all pumped up for the BF and then finding out that the deals are not that great. Plus the rude inconsiderate people that take things out of your buggy because they can't find it.

No Credit card here. I use my debit card and cash. The only problem with my debit card is that my bank has a daily limit on it. So leaves the rest to cash. Checks take way too long on this day.

I usually go with my mom. My new SIL went with us last year, but she slowed us way down. We won't make that mistake again. Mom and I are a good team. It is our one day of the year that is totally just us. I don't have to compete with my kids for her attention. lol

I will be looking for portable DVD players and and a couple of TVs. And hopefully a lot of great buys.
