Thanksgiving/Black Friday shopping??

How was y'all's dinner yesterday??
How was your Black Friday shopping?

My dinner was good besides my MIL

Black Friday shopping went amazing! We spent 134$ and got a butt load of stuff!!

Re: Thanksgiving/Black Friday shopping??

  • Dinner was amazing - I ate a heaping plate and finished DH's plate when he got full.  I seriously considered eating the entire tray of sweet potatoes, but managed to control myself.  Then I followed dinner with 3 kinds of pie for dessert.  Delicious!

    I don't go out on Black Friday.  I'd rather pay a little more or go without.  I worked retail for several years and swore I'd never shop that day.  I caved and went 3 years ago for a TV deal and I nearly lost my faith in humanity.  I almost cried this morning reading an article about people's disgusting behavior during past Black Fridays.  You couldn't pay me to go.
  • Dinner was great!  My husband had to work so we ate our Thanksgiving dinner at about 11:30pm when he got home.  I also enjoyed having leftovers for breakfast!  lol

    We bought one thing online yesterday.  Since we pretty much do homemade gifts for just about everyone, we don't have to do a whole lot of shopping.  I did just see that my favorite NYC cookware shop, Broadway Panhandler, is having a pretty awesome sale this weekend, so I might check that out and see if there's anything great there that someone in my family might need.

  • Online shopping all the way for me,  SO went out to the mall this morning, mainly just to check out the madness.  He was disappointed that it was pretty mellow. :D
  • Dinner was absolutely disgusting yesterday. FIL and his girlfriend ordered the meal from a local market and it was unpalatable. The turkey was undercooked so I didn't try any.

    Black Friday shopping was great. I ordered everything I really wanted that may sale out online on Thursday morning. Today I went in to see all the clothes sales. Gymboree had an amazing 50% off sale. I bought a ton of baby clothes! Our little boy is going to look so handsome in his sweaters next fall! :)
  • I found some great baby steals today! Got the baby play yard from BRU for 50% off plus the box had been opened so I got an additional 20% off...that's a $70 play yard for $27! Then I went to Herbergers and got two Carter's sleep sacks. They were on sale for $10.80/each but I had a coupon for $10 off each item. I walked out spending $1.60 total!
  • Dinner was good. I'm proud of myself because I made everything except the turkey. My parents came to visit us and it was my first time hosting so I was nervous. BF was success! I got my christmas tree, all of DD's christmas presents and stuff for our new house so I was super excited by the time we got home lol.

  • Gap is having a 50% off everything sale! I went to the store and bought my first items ever for baby! So exciting!!! I just finished more shopping at Gap online so I think the code "BLKFRIDAY" still works. Can't get enough of their maternity leggings. They also have great gender neutral baby clothes!
  • Dinner was great.
    We waited in line out in the cold for an hour at Home Depot to get a 7.5 ft Martha Stewart Christmas tree that's normally $200. On sale for $70. They opened the doors at 5:00. We had our tree by 5:02 and were checked out by 5:06!
  • I went Black Friday shopping at about 9:30 am yesterday and found it to actually be quite pleasant in my area! It wasn't any busier than a typical Saturday morning. It was a bit picked over, but I still got some deals (just bought a pair of boots and some Christmas decorations though.) I think starting on Thanksgiving got the crazies through early and made Friday morning more fun for me! Hah.
