Yep. I'm getting a little stressed as well. I keep thinking of things I need to, and trying now to make my plan when to do it all!

I still have a bit of shopping to do too. And I got word today that the gift I ordered for my sister is back ordered, and won't be in before Christmas. Boo. So I gotta figure out what to do about that.

So yesterday at the store I realized how close it is to baking time, yikes! I was feeling lazy, so I bought chocolate chip and sugar cookie mixes, and refrigerated brownies. Right now I don't have the oomph to think about more than that, but hopefully that will change. Last year I made cool whip cookies, and the whole time I said I would never make them again... but they were so good, I might. For candy, I always make about 20 dozen buckeyes, and last year I learned how to make butter mints, so I'll probably make those again. And maybe peppermint patties.

I wrapped 21 presents today. That's everything except 1 for my 2 boys, and what I have already for my husband. What's left is my daughter and grandson (about 20), and then my parents and sister and her family of 5. So about another 20. Progress though!

Um.... I have everything piled up on the guest bed... nothing wrapped... Hopefully tonight or tomorrow I'll get the table put up in the wrapping room, and then get the wrapping paper out and I can start soon.

It's December! Time to start the advent calendars. I got my dog one this year. Mine is a bracelet/necklace/charm set. Tree is up, ornaments get finished today, hooray! Then over to mama's to do her tree. And if there is still time (and energy!) I hope to start some wrapping. Goodness knows I shopped enough this week, so I have a nice pile of things to wrap.

Happy Thanksgiving! We are having dinner very early (for us) today at 1 pm. Both my sister (retail) and her husband (county water department) have to work this evening, so we are moving it up. I better get busy making the cranberry sauce and cookies!

I always get the k cups that are a door buster. I wasn't intending to stay up for just those, but my goofy neighbors were keeping me up with loud music, so I figured I'd go ahead and grab them. But, they list the price as pickup or delivery only. Sadness. The ad doesn't indicate this would be the case. If I'd known, I would have just ordered them from Kohl's.

The decorations will get pulled out this evening or tomorrow morning. I hope to be decorated by the end of the weekend. I wasnt necessarily opposed to getting decorations up earlier this week, I just didn't really have the time. And Thanksgiving weekend is the normal time for us, so that is okay with me .

It looks to be up, I saw prices change on several things at 3am ET. It did take them about 10 minutes to update the front page though.

MUCH better tonight. My list worked, adn me and mama both got our doorbuster order placed. She got the Switch bundle, and I got the Avengers weighted blanket. Now off to do some more (stress free) shopping to see if I missed anything.

Ordered the Surface Monday, received it today! My order confirmation said delivery Dec 6, so I was surprised when it arrived.

I placed 2 orders in the 1st hour of the sale. All of first order will be delivered today, 2nd order that was placed 20 minutes later will arrive Friday and Monday. Love that I'll have some things before the sale even starts in store.

Both of my boys need new Converse. So I'll use my KC on those, since coupon discounts dont apply to those. Bonus, they will still be on sale after Thanksgiving.

I had my list open and all ready... and then a few minutes in I decided to refresh the page for updated prices... and then it wouldn't load. So I spent 30 minutes searching for things I had already picked out, and trying to remember other things. Very frustrating. I would have been done in less than 10 minutes had that worked. I did have the GD list open though, and that was a good back up, got me where I needed to be, I just had to pick out colors and sizes again. Next year, let's remind each other to keep it open, and on at least 2 devices!! I was also able to use HOMEDEAL10 on the bedding stuff I got. Yay.

Got my gotta deal shirt on, my list is up, and I'm ready!

I think it depends what you order. (I assume you are asking about walmart, since you mentioned ordering Wednesday at 9pm. Other store I have found ship their items very quickly.) I seem to remember people getting their items fairly quickly last year, but I think they were ordering larger and/or higher priced items. I ordered sharpies and rubbermaid containers, and it took over a week before my items even shipped. I can't tell you though if I was given a shipping estimate time when I checked out or not.

It's in a couple places. Probably the easiest place is down at the bottom of the Kohls website, under the Shop Kohls heading, it says My Lists. From there you can create a list of view your list. I use the Gotta Deal list to link directly to the item on the Kohl's website. Then when you are on the item page, there is a button that says Add to List, then you choose which list to add it to. Hope this helps!

I got all the rest of my things on my Best Buy list this morning, yay. I had gotten a few things in the first preview sale too.

Their list feature is amazing. I also add doorbusters, and other things that I'm not sure will be on sale or not. Then I can just check there to see prices.

If anyone else is interested in the Surface Pro, it is now available at the advertised price. Although it took me a bit to figure out how to get to it. 8m not sure familiar with how the Google shopping thing works. But what I did was go to their area that says Black Friday deals, choose Electronics, then scroll through. You will enter a coupon code to receive an additional 10% off the sale price listed, to get to the advertised price. I dont see the switch bundle, but that doesn't mean it isn't there. I'm probably just too dumb to find it! Hope this makes sense and helps someone!

You should be fine on getting throws then. They have about 40 different designs, so that's a lot! I would determine a backup design in case your favorite sells out, but for only 4 hours, you'll probably be fine. I don't usually load my cart up, so I'm not sure if that works. But I do get my shopping list ready with all my choices, including backups. Then when I'm ready to order I just run through the list clicking Add to cart. It's fast and easy. So you may want to have the list ready in case.

Oh. Yeah, could be. I'm too lazy to go down to my store (plus the area has SO. Much. Traffic.) So I always have them shipped. Seems that I have had something cancelled by my store before, guess things can be in people's hands for a while before they check out. Or is misplaced in the store.

Does everyone know that Kohl's has a shopping list feature? I use the GD shopping list as a starting guide to the list of deals. Then on Kohl's site, choose my color and size, and add it to my BF 2019 List. Then, when the sale starts, all I have to do is run through my list and click the Add to Cart button. No browsing or picking out sizes and colors. Plus, it's a good way to eyeball when prices change. It was useful during the last couple weeks when they'd have preview sales, you could easily see what changed price for the day.

I've never had one be cancelled, but they do sell out a lot. I'm really bad about lollygagging all day Monday and not placing my order until later in the day, and I have had them sell out before I order them. So if you have a favorite or a must have, get it early. (Says the person who has already purchased 10 throws this year since September! Some of which never even made it to November, so I was happy I got them so early.) This year, for the first time, I took off work tomorrow, so I plan to stay up and order at the sale start. But probably not any throws, because I think I have them all.
