Weren't these like $8.95 or something like that last year?

Where has the year gone?! No way should it be December already!

I don't know if it was a good deal since I didn't really need it, but I got one of the $128 TVs from the Walmart sale. Our current TV is a slightly larger screen, but when we bought it when it was new (when flatscreens were just coming out), we paid over $500 for it. I also got a queen size set of flannel sheets and one of the throws from Kohls (again, something else I didn't need, lol) for under $8 with coupons & credits I had.

Another successful day of Black Friday shopping in the books!

We started out at Menards around 5:30 this morning. We were maybe #50 or so in line. The worst part was the cold and wind. Last year they just let us in when we got there because of covid but this year the doors didn't open till 6:00. There were plenty of people there but it wasn't nearly as crowded as years past. It's normally shoulder to shoulder in there but not today. I'm guessing it was because they didn't have their ads out early. We got everything in there we went after. We made another trip in a while later and noticed that a lot of the items that were running low had been restocked so they had plenty of merchandise. And the craziest part was that the cashiers were standing there waiting for people to check out. We went to other stores too and the crowds weren't bad at all.

Thanks Brad and speeddiva. It's not too different from other years but I always find something to buy.

Ok so I’m glad I’m not the only one who couldn’t wait to open! The wrapping said “No Peeking” and I REALLY tried to hold off but it just didn’t work! I got the softest blanket, a really nice picture frame & an adorable ornament for my tree. Thank you, Secret Santa, I just love it all!

We normally get it in the newspaper today since that one doesn't publish tomorrow. There wasn't one in it so I came here looking for answers. Found my answer in the "What stores are you still waiting for?" thread. https://forums.gottadeal.com/topic/342272-what-stores-are-you-still-waiting-on/page-3

High of 35, low of 25 here, mostly cloudy.

I have my Secret Santa gifts bought, now I just have to get them wrapped and shipped. These next 2 weeks are super busy but hopefully I'll get a chance to get them out.

Menards

My shirt arrived yesterday. I love it! Thanks, Brad!

I don't normally do a theme. When my boys were growing up, I would buy them each an ornament every year that had something to do with what they were into that year...Bert & Ernie, Toy Story, Godzilla, band, etc. Since our older son bought a house and moved away I gave him all his ornaments to go on his tree. Since then I've just done blue & silver decorations. This year I think I want to do a beach theme.

I'm coming to your house!!

Here's to another year of hoping I remember to post each month! So far so good!

Let the shopping begin!!!!

I really miss Kmart. I have good memories of shopping there with my parents when I was younger.

I can't remember where I saw it last week, but I remember reading that now they're saying there is a shortage on cardboard boxes for shipping online orders. Everything is just getting so unbelievably crazy. When is it going to stop?

I already won a t-shirt but am responding in hopes of winning the gift card. Photo #1...spoken by the boy in front, "I wonder if they have any DVDs on sale anywhere around here." Photo #2..."I'm just the bag holder. I'm not going out into that mess!" Photo #3...from the guy inside the tent, "I haven't showered in days just so I wouldn't have to share my shelter."

Congrats!

My top 3 are Walmart, Meijer and Menards.

Voted. I think this is a great idea!

Got mine today too. Great little gadget! Thanks, Brad!
