Does my .69 cent table cloth count from Kohls

I went into my Christmas sweater box and discovered every Tee Shirt I have ever won going back to 2006. My Favorite is if you can read this I already got the doorbuster. Something like that. Never have won the big prize, but look forward every year to trying to win a tee shirt

Welcome December, my your lights be bright and wishes many

As others I did 99.9 % of my shopping on line. Did venture out about 8:00 AM Walmart dead, needed a 25 strand light replacement, bought some sharpies, and a table cloth. Next stop lowes to pick up an on line order, Tree bag and ornament bag. Then to Hobby lobby didn't buy anything to mention. Then to Home goods, bought a new tree skirt and mantle cover. Biggest score was at Costco 40 pack batteries for 12.79 So very happy

We have two portable Ice makers. One in the motor home bought 3 years ago, and one we used in the house, when our old fridge ice maker didn't work. That one was bought at Sam's club three years ago also. one is small and one is large hubby likes both

My ss shopping is done, wrapped and boxed and addressed. Well 99.9 of all my shopping is done and wrapped I feel ahead of the game

Good Morning all I see people are still dreaming of winning, like those huge mega million prizes

This would be a awesome prize to win

I will go first, During this pandemic my family has stayed health, no one has been really ill. Although last year we lost three friends to it. I am thankful I wake up every day . 2 years ago in Oct I was in the ICU with bleeding on the brain and blood pressure of 198. over something. They called the family and the red cross sent my son and his family home from Germany. They were planning Brain surgery when as quick as it started it stopped. Last year I had my hip replaced best thing I ever did. Many know that I show dogs, I had made a goal and bucket list as you just never know. There are only three big shows that are invitation only Crufts in England, Royal Canine where they invite the top 10 owner handlers to complete for National owner handler where I believe the top prize is $10,000.00. And then Westminster kennel club dog show where the top 5 in every breed are invited to enter before any other. in order to enter Westminster your dog must be a Champion. My dog and I have been invited to both the Royal in Orlando where he was the number 5 Chow Chow. And then to Westminster where he is the number 3 Chow chow. We have decided to go to Westminster in Jan. This has been a dream and goal for as long as I can remember. Then this is his daughter who is up and coming she finished her championship at 8 months So I have a lot to be Thankful for.

Congrats everyone, and Thank you Brad

Must have missed this thread, oh well here now Lol

Photo #1 How am I suppose to reorganize those movies, says employee in the corner. Photo # 2 The map say's that store should be right here. Photo # 3 Friends the new TV show, episode 1 shopping together, Black Friday at the wrong store

I want simple, My son and his family home from Germany ( air force,) All my kids under the same roof Christmas Eve and Christmas Morning, That would be an amazing gift. That's just a dream, last time I saw him and his family was when I was in the ICU two years ago. I would also love a white Christmas just snow Christmas eve and a snowy cover Christmas morning then it can leave.

I miss, Shop-co, Yonkers and Gordmans, Those three always had great deals for my growing children. I would always buy boots every year from Yonkers, Leggins from Gordmans, and toys at Shop-co

So Farm and Fleet opened they annual toy land this past weekend, My daughter and her wife adopted my Grand daughter last year after having her as a foster child since the week after she was born, She turns three. The only child to buy toys for. Prices not bad, got her birthday and Christmas Present. I also bought a you hatch dinosaur kind of like I believe a hatchmal for $ 3.99 You place the egg in water completely and in 24-48 hours he starts hatching. Really cute idea and a great stocking stuffer. I was hoping for a a velociraptor, but got a stupid stegosaurus. Was excited when he started breaking through his shell

Tradition, When all my kids lived at home, and Black Friday was black Friday, We would set the alarms and get up at 2:00 Am and be in Walmart by 3:00Am. We had a game plan and everyone had their assigned tasks of items to gather off their lists. We never missed anything we wanted. we were in and out and at breakfast by 8;00. Now the kids are all grown and going to the stores on black Friday just isn't as fun. Second tradition is entering the many contests to win a Gotta deal tee shirt and doing the SS every year Believe it or not the best year was the year I scored three Furby's

I was in Walmart Saturday and could not believe my eyes Bacon was 11.48 a pack the family size, 24 cans of Pepsi has doubled in price went from 5.49 a 24 pack to 9.99 , hard to find propel in 12 packs. buying groceries is so much fun

Maybe this year is the year

If I could buy one thing it would be a newer Motor home, we show my dogs and this one we have we have out grown

Thank you SS I received my package today I will post pictures later trying to finish decorating

I left my house Friday Morning at 8 am to head to Walmart for socks, Yes socks they would not allow me to buy these 5:00 socks on-line. Picked up something for the grandbaby and out the door, Next Menards to get an air mattress found some crate pads for the dogs and out the door. Next target to see if they had the kitchen aid mixer by chance. Found one not the one on sale that had been a return they were willing to give me 10% off but that model was way over my budget. For helping the associate I did score a raincheck for the model on sale. Then to pick up my splurge buys at pet smart. Then to Hobby Lobby for some impulse buying. No store was busy, no store had check out line night mares. Home by 10:45 AM

There were 6 the first was stillborn as was the last. They are called pink, lilac, blue and green collar. There were 3 boys and 3 girls, pictured above are 2 girls and 2 boys

I have all bought but was side tracked for a bit as these arrived just in time for the holidays
