I am getting my plan together for Friday EARLY AM and shopping.  Anyone else going out there and braving the cold?  I only need one thing...but am sure I will be out there looking at other things, too.  Who else will be shopping early to get those deals???

I always go out. However, I have to work 13 hours at the bank, go in at 6:30. I'm not sure I'm going to make it this year...depends on the sale papers tomorrow.

I have had the sale ads for weeks...working for the newspapers has a few advantages!  There are some good things out there...all depends on what you are looking for,  Kara wants a laptop.  That is all she asked for this year as a combined present for her b-day (12/8) and Christmas.  So of course she is going to get it...even if I have to pay full price!  I worked last year and missed shopping...but I got paid quadruple time.  I worked Thanksgiving Day, Black Friday and Saturday, too.  I made over $3000.00 in just those three days!  Not this year...I am taking the weekend off!

Wow, I think I would have to work for that pay also. I've done most of my shopping, but I still love to go also. I usually don't want the things people are waiting in long lines for. Also, I take my sale papers to Wal Mart and they price match the other ads (on most things...they won't price match something that is Buy 1, get 1 free or 1/2 off, etc). Thats my secret.

Have a blast in NJ!  I know you are enjoying the less stress!  Funny thing...even if I do not need anything...I still go!  I love the crowds and people watching.  I also go for something on Christmas Eve...just because.  I never still need something at that point!

Even if I dont by anything I come home w/ freebies. I know its crazy but I feel insane this year so I just well act it. And aint no pushin me around I have a friend who takes her kids I thought this funny but not really so u shoppers watch your carts  she gives each her kids a list  there grown now mind ya and dares them to come out the store w/out the stuff on the list  so if they see it in your cart  well look out there gonna take it  she ask me to go w/ her I said heck no I aint fighting over NOTHING YOU GO UR WAY iLL GO MY WAY! Hace fun but be safe.

I'm almost done shopping, can you belive it???  I did better with some of the pre-black friday sales and didn't have to brave the cold/crowd.

For example.....every year, I get a new Dooney bag.  The Navy Exchange has them for 20% off on Black Friday.  I found one, but was having a hard time justifying the price.  Well, on our way up to Fredricksburg, we stopped at the outlet mall.  I found one, reg $265 (NO WAY!!!!!), Outlet price was $171 (UGH...I STILL cannot justify it)....BUT......I got a scratch card that was worth 25% - 50% off.  Ok....25% off of $171 is better (But still!)....I go to the register and I scratch off  FORTY PERCENT OFF....YA WHOO....My bag, including tax, was $103.  Cheaper than the exchange for a bigger bag - YEAH!!!!!!

Then, I wanted an inexpensive sewing machine.  Sears has one for $69.99 on Black Friday, and Target has one for about the same price.  Sears had a pre-Black Friday sale - the sewing machine was $75.99.  Ok...It's worth the $6.00 to not stand in line.  Well, I used Ebates, so i got 6% back, PLUS, Sears sent me a $5.00 off coupon for on-line purchases.  I paid $71.00 (inc tax) and went to the store and picked it up.

We will be going to Kohls to pick up a few things, maybe Target (I would like one of those SD cards that are on sale for my camera), and kids DVDs for one of the families our Harley group is sponsoring, but, right now, I am planning on being at IHOP at 7:00am - haha!
