bribri25 Posted November 6, 2014 Posted November 6, 2014 Guilty here!!It's not guilt when you know you're saving someone else 40%+ off the retail price by buying it yourself. I'd hate to know I could have gotten it heavily discounted and then have someone buy it for me from my xmas list at retail!
pogiporkchop Posted November 6, 2014 Posted November 6, 2014 I think I deserve more than just a truffle this year...
inogenius Posted November 6, 2014 Posted November 6, 2014 HAH, do I buy for myself?! I'm the only person I buy for!
bluesky225 Posted November 6, 2014 Posted November 6, 2014 I buy a lot for other people, but I definitely find plenty for myself too! 1
stina629 Posted November 7, 2014 Posted November 7, 2014 Always! whether it's something I've identified through the ads that I like, or a duplicate of something I planned on only buying for someone else that I decide I just can't pass up, I always end up with something. My very first Black Friday purchase was actually a beautiful deep blue short trench coat for well below retail price, which I still wear today!
bamamomma Posted November 7, 2014 Posted November 7, 2014 Sometimes if we see something that we have been wanting/looking for and it's a great deal, we will. This year though, I am pretty sure I am going to pick up a few things at Belk for myself. There are some really great deals and I rarely buy clothing or shoes for myself. Sooooooo I may just splurge just a little.
onemill Posted November 7, 2014 Posted November 7, 2014 Yes, I sure do! As a single Mom, who else is going to shop for me? The kids will get little presents for me, but Xmas day is more about them than me. Things that I need, or good deals on clothes. Sure, I buy.
brandibug Posted November 10, 2014 Posted November 10, 2014 oh yes, I always end up buying for myself or the household. It never fails! At least I'm getting good deals though.
abentley Posted November 10, 2014 Posted November 10, 2014 Add another hoarder/obsessor of wrapping paper. I have a ton and I don't even have a large family. I only have to buy a handful of gifts every year but yet I continue to buy wrapping paper. Last year, I gathered up some unopened rolls I had "stuck back" for goodness knows what and donated it to my hometown fire department for them to use during their Toys for Tots drive. Add me to the list of wrapping paper issues! I LoVE wrapping paper and gift bags! My paper has match my tree theme! I only wrap unmatched paper on gifts that we will be delivering! I have just had a conversation about finding perfect paper for myself a gift with my husband! I love red glitter,velvety, embossed shiny papers!
bluebear Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 Add me to the wrapping paper list! Mine also matches my tree, gingerbread and candy canes. Just today i was at Walgreens scoping out what paper to buy during the B1G2 sale.
cassgurlie04 Posted November 13, 2014 Posted November 13, 2014 It's not out of the question. If I want something, and its on a great sale, I get it!
pogiporkchop Posted November 13, 2014 Posted November 13, 2014 I was thinking some more on this... I do, and should, buy for myself otherwise all I'll end up with is lottery tickets from DH. That's all he ever buys me as a "gift" anymore
msl94 Posted November 13, 2014 Posted November 13, 2014 If there are deals too good to pass up, I will buy for myself on BF. Honestly, I cannot remember a year where I have not done so.
jesusluvu Posted November 13, 2014 Posted November 13, 2014 This topic was so good I had to come back and say YES I DO -LOL... Already got myself a few things that the DW will wrap as well.
pogiporkchop Posted December 1, 2014 Posted December 1, 2014 (spits out coffee...) I won on the truffle comment?! Wow... This was completely unexpected. DS is going to be one happy boy come Christmas! He's working hard in school and has been uncomplaining as DD has gotten taekwondo gear, and private lessons, and classes... he really deserves it. Terms and conditions will apply, of course As I said in my reply, thank you not just for this but for all you do to make GD what it is. If I had to say thanks by baking cookies I'd be doing so from now until well into the new year! 1
jamieva Posted December 2, 2014 Posted December 2, 2014 Bought myself a 55" Vizio at costco on BF. Guilty! 1
pogiporkchop Posted December 3, 2014 Posted December 3, 2014 I never did get that truffle for myself...
