  1. Not a big fan of the underwear/socks stocking stuffer.....  Stockings in my home are for the best little some things that you just happened to pick up that aren't necessary but have to have! And they are probably miserable to wrap!  lol

  2. I like the idea of paying with cash, however I get a little freaked out when I have to pull everything out and show everyone around me all the cash...lol.  Granted it looks like more since I only carry smaller bills, but I feel like I am going to get clobbered...lol.    But have to have some WHEN, not if, the card machines stall out and they create the CASH ONLY line :loli:

  3. We bought our big screen last week..... Used football season as an added incentive...lol.   But put the sound bar and DD gifts on layaway until the very last moment.  DD asked why she can never find her gifts like her friends.  She doesn't know that we use layaway to hide them...lol.   Now just the fun stuff like stocking stuffers and whatever jumps out at me!

  4. Good consumers are always shopping...buying is another thing.  I maintain a list of things I am interested in purchasing including recent good prices, reviews, and other thoughts.  This allows me to pounce on a good deal with out hesitation or reservation.  For example, I am an OTA-first cord cutter.  We have DVRs on all of our televisions.  I had thoroughly researched DVRs in 2010 when we cut the cord and decided on the DTVPal.  Last summer, a couple of the Pals started acting flaky.  They were no longer available, so I engaged in a new research activity.  I decided to buy the DVR+ mostly because the TiVo had a monthly fee and very high TCO.  In May, they offered the TiVo Roamio OTA with Lifetime for $300 and I bought two.  I have purchased low risk gifts in January for a birthday or holiday later in the year.  Worst thing that happens is that you surprise someone with an unexpected gift.

     Absolutely!  Cant get a good deal if you don't know the prices!  Now I am more prone to buy early as the last couple of years have shown that sometimes waiting until BF isnt the best deal!

  5. We are thinking about getting a bigger TV for the living room as a "family" gift this year.  Right now we have a 32" in there.  We would love to have a bigger TV in there and then my husband and I would take the 32" for our room since we don't have a TV in here.

     

    We are also planning on buying a 32" TV for our boys' room.  We will probably just be looking for the cheapest models.

    We bought a 32" for our DD room 3 years ago at Best Buy- it was their brand.  We got a really great deal and it wasn't Black Friday.  Picture is great still - I never had to worry about the replacement cost in case of "accidents"  lol.

  6. When I was in Sam's Club yesterday they had out some Fall decorations (not just Halloween but like Thanksgiving) so the build up is starting. Now if those ad's would just get released.

    LOL....my husband just kept walking as I diverted off "just to see"  when we were in Sam's.....

    My mom used to make my sister and I "help" her make these when we were in middle school. We

    Would have to roll and dip hundreds. My sister got mad one year and put her gum in one!! Unfortunately, it was my BFF's dad and my mom was

    In the middle was...Baahaahaa... Never had to help again!

  8. Houseguest not leaving until the tues after Thanksgiving so that will delay me. I don't like to have "extra help" when I am decorating! Mind you it's not physical help....lol live Tree will go up early in the week so it can drop before decorating

  10. We have new furry friends this year and one that has been around but doesnt want much. So this will be he first time that I shop Pet Smart on Black Friday....
