I was super busy yesterday and had a few things added to my cart, but didn't actually get my order placed until about 10pm. I usually have a list of clothes and home items ready, but I wasn't as prepared this year. So I spent the day texting my grown kids. "Do you need sheets?" And "Do you need towels?" So I ended up with an Under Armor hoodie for my step-dad (yearly gift), sheets and hand towels for older son, towels for oldest daughter (I got her sheets with the veteran's day sale), a Google mini, some flameless candles for mama, and my yearly single washcloth to make it to the next level of KC. This week I'll look through kids clothes some more and get some things for the grandsons.

Looks like this sale has started. I got several ornaments and picks at 75% off. Yay!

I try to put accessories related to their main gift. Some things I've done: Models - paint, brushes, cutters, pliers, etc VR - cables, grips Record player - cleaning kit Then also related gift cards (steam, PS, gaming store). My boys are grown, so sometimes they may get work gloves or thermal socks for boots. And my oldest goes through earbuds, so he gets a pair or 2. I also try to get a specialty (large or shaped) candy and a snack. My youngest is very basic in his tastes, so that makes it harder to keep them even. (Only plain Hershey chocolate and reeses, no jerky or other flavors.)

So, yeah, just bought these. It was too good to pass up. And for now there doesn't seem to be anything planned to replace this style. That makes 6 orders for me on these last 2 sales, plus 2 on the pre-sale they had a few weeks back. That's the most I've shopped anywhere yet, which is especially impressive considering I don't usually shop at walmart. Guess I can't say that anymore!

The Quest 2 bundle is in the ad. But it's up now at the sale price. I went ahead and grabbed it, so that's the other big item off my list. Hooray. Just little things now. Best Buy and Amazon have it at the sale price today as well, but Walmart doesn't start until Monday. But I chose Target because of the 5% red card discount.

Yay. I have a lego list.

Thanks for the additional link! That had the Quest 2 listed. Which is the biggest thing still on my list. It's a little odd though, because it doesn't say a date for the price or early access on it, like the other items do.

Hmmm... I've bought stuff in the last 2 sales, and the other early whatever sale.. but nothing grabbed me in this one. Maybe the men's house shoes. Oh well. But that's okay, I'm still doing good on shopping.

Yes!!! They have loop yarn too!

Looks like they are still available. My husband loves these. He has 2 sets already, so I can't really justify another set, although that price is amazing and I'm really tempted!

This is the first I've seen a Quest 2 in any ads, so that's promising it's in here.

Oh yay thank you!! And congrats to the other winners!

My mama still cooks the big dinner, same every year, but that's getting harder so me and my sister are trying to help. But of course when we offer or ask what to do... she says she's got it. But I always make cranberry sauce, and sister is making a cobbler and another veggie food dish. And I'll do something else too, probably squash and a dessert as well. Turkey Dressing Dressing with veggie stock Noodles (cooked in turkey broth) Noodles (cooked in veggie broth) Mashed potatoes Sweet potato casserole Corn Green beans Mac and cheese Squash Another veggie Rolls Homemade cranberry sauce Pickles, olives, black olives, cheese Peach cobbler Pumpkin pie Cookies

So personally I don't think I'd use a cricut much, so I've not put much thought into those. BUT... today I discovered there is such thing as a tufting machine, where I can make my own rugs! AND... New Egg has a laser cutter on sale. So those both have piqued my interest now. I think I'd use both of those. Maybe. I have a Kitchenaid stand mixer, and I don't regret that purchase at all. I am able to keep it under the cabinet out of the way so that helps. Now the air fryer... bleh. I actually don't love it, neither does my mom. My daughter loves hers though. Guess me and mama are just set in our ways! I don't like how fries turn out at all. And everything just kinda seems cumbersome to me. But probably because I have to relearn how to use it every time. I did make some yummy Brussel sprouts once. But it was a lot of trouble for something only I eat. I want to love and use it though!

Same. I'm using it more than I thought I would already, and half price is easier to justify for sure!

There are a couple of flight sticks I'm going to look into,that was actually on my son's list. And I may consider the laser engraver, that looks like a fun toy!

Today for the "Members Monday" sale I got a nice mid-range laptop for my son for $250 off. He already has a nice gaming desktop so didn't need the highest specs, but this has an RTX 3050 video card, so that was nice. Also grabbed a 512GB Switch memory card for $50 off. Glad to have the laptop out of the way!

Yankee candles, Samsung Buds Live, trail cam, Diary of a Wimpy Kid, and cozy socks.

Yarn. And B1G1 sketch pads. And 60% decor. There are a few things I've seen that I like and 60% is a good price.

I'm not a big Walmart shopper usually. But I've actually placed a few orders from this sale and the "preview" sale. So for me it's been nice not being bombarded and overwhelmed at one time.

Last year when I needed 2 PS5s and 2 Xbox Xs (apparently I am the buyer for everyone in the family?) I used a couple websites that monitored stock. That was super useful.

I agree on the $199 Xbox. I also like the $28 vacuum!

So, if you just get in the habit of checking Gotta Deal daily, then it's easy to remember to post! Come play with us all year, always great deals to be had!!

I got 1 thing, and it went very well. Got put in a line and that only took a few minutes. Yay Walmart.
