I have a gingerbread and candy theme for my house, including my tree. My wrapping paper also matches the theme.

PetSmart, got cat litter and dog treats. Didn't seem to be as crowded and stressful as years past. Maybe because we were done faster than usual. Ran in Michael's in case something jumped out at me, and there was NO line. Which was amazing. There is always a line at my Michael's. Books a million was dead. Apparently they opened at midnight, and was supper dead all night as well. Stopped by CVS and grabbed a couple of the ECB deals, including the $5 hairdryer for my sister. I had not noticed it in the ad, but yesterday she said she needed one, then she pointed that one out. Now back home resting before unloading the litter and then going to mama's to help babysit the grandson.

Had a 5 hour shopping trip tonight with my mom and sister. Kohl's: Pretty crowded as always, but fairly organized. Stock was low on a lot of items because people had ordered online and picked up in store. According to the manger, some items she didn't even have in stock at all when the store opened tonight. Stood in line for one hour. Bought nothing. Ulta: Stood in line for 30 minutes. Got an eyeshadow pallete for my niece, thy my sister picked out for me. Five Below: A little busy, but they were super fast. Stood in line les than 2 minutes! Bought gift bags and wrapping paper. Walmart: A lot of people, but not super crowded. A nice associate helped my mom find the last hover board thing for my nephew. A couple things my mom and sister wanted were out of stock, but we were 3 hours into the sale at this point. Stood in line about 5 minutes. Bought nothing. Target: Went here by myself. Parking lot was packed, and lots of people inside. Went straight to the check line endcap and grabbed Stranger Things, and walked right up to the register. So glad I went tonight, it was the second to last one. So for 5 hours, I have one DVD and one eyeshadow, and a few gift bags. Woohoo!! Oh! While I was standing in line, I places another Best Buy and Amazon order. So at least there was that!

Amazon: Fire HD8, around midnight. Best Buy: Powered speakers, Destiny 2, Neir Automata, Wonder Woman, Logan, and Mad Max Chrome edition. Got checked out by 1:07 EST Target: Google Home Mini, k cups. Checked out at 3:08 EST All going pretty good so far! About to head out to Kohl's and Ulta, then Target in the morning for Stranger Things.

Both my Best Buy orders have shipped, as well as my Target order.

Don't forget if there's something you don't think will be on sale to still check... Two things on my list I didn't think would be discounted are $50 off today! Hooray!

All my shopping is done except one more Amazon order, but still stopped and got the paper. The Atlanta paper was only $3! Can't wait to spread it all out.

Interesting. Thanks for the heads up. I had not headed out yet, but I'll be sure to check that first.

Oh boo for database issues! Well I got my order placed right on time with Target, easy peasy. I only had a couple things left after getting most things at Best Buy. Only thing is Stranger Things apparently is in store only. Oh well. So guess I'll try grabbing it tomorrow morning.

I thought that too... Especially since they rounded in the ad for the KC. But Monday I was $.21 away and it was saying, "$.21 from next Kohl's Cash". I didnt go further to see if it actually gave it to me though. I just went and added a $1.50 hand sanitizer.

Woohoo! Got my 5 items ordered, 7 minutes! And that was including having to reset my password (grrrrr) and re-enter payment info. Yay!!

Yay, got the Fire HD8 ordered.

Funny, my husband said the same thing to me an hour go!

The powered bookshelf speakers have been showing the $69.99 price for a few days. Now if my son would just hurry up and decide what turntable he wants so I'll know what speakers to get... He has one more day to decide!

Usually when I get home Friday morning, my husband has pulled out the Christmas decorations and then we start working on the tree!

Thanks. When I was comparing the Google Home and Google Home Mini on Best Buy's website, the number of microphones was the only difference I saw in the chart. Thank you for explaining what more microphones would do.

Well, the Pro is skinnier. The regular Ring is wider, and will not fit in the small area I have for a doorbell. So you may want to check that on your door. So for me, that's the only difference that really matters!

Just remember, if you change formats, you'll have to essentially start over with any apps and stuff you might have. So if anything is paid, you'll have to rebuy it. Just a consideration.

Okay cool thanks. We aren't noisy so we should be good. Probably won't be used anyway. But we have Google music and Google TV and Chromecast, so seems like it would be a good fit for our things.

Great, thanks!! Just making sure. Especially since I haven't quite wrapped my head around the whole echo thing yet either.

Can anyone tell me please what the big Google Home does that the little mini doesn't do? I've tried reading descriptions from a few stores and really haven't found anything. I'm assuming it's like the Dot and Echo.... Just a bigger better speaker? Anything else? Thanks!

I had planned to stay up tonight to get something at target tonight. Can't really remember what at the moment right now... But I went and got sick, and now all I can think about is Theraflu and bedtime. Maybe whatever it is I wanted will be available in the morning. And I'll remember.

Wow! Part of my order was already delivered!!

All my items have shipped, hooray. And everything I wanted was in stock when I went to order. So I was pretty easy this year. Yay.

I add things to my Kohl's shopping list. Then just go through and add them all to my cart. That's easy, and I can go ahead and pick out colors, sizes, etc.
