Black Friday
What great deals did you ladies get?
I snagged a 40-inch TV for my DH for $265 at Target. They had one cheaper at Best Buy, but that place terrifies me. That's where all of the people camp out! I wanted to keep it a surprise, but I wasn't expecting to get one and didn't take cash out, so I had to use my debit card. I knew he would see it on our bank statement, so I just told him. Oh well. He was still super excited!
I also got some other little things at Target...snow boots for $20, accent pillows for the couch $10 for a 2-pack, and a couple of books that were on sale. I really debated about the Nikon point-and-shoot they had half-off for $99, but I couldn't do it after splurging on the TV. I have my DSLR, but it would have been nice to have a good point-and-shoot to keep in my purse.
I went back out to Target tonight to get a few things we didn't get last night. I also tried to stop at Scheel's, but I drove around for 15 minutes and didn't find a parking lot. It was nuts there!
Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving and successful shopping 
Re: Black Friday
One of my brother's bought that camera for my other brother. He's giving it for him tomorrow! Mainly b/c my niece has her first HS basketball game.
I went out this morning, but didn't get any huge deals. I stayed away from the malls and just went to Kohl's & Target. I bought some stuff for the house & some shirts for DH & some toys for a friend's kids. I bought the 4th season of Dexter for myself! My sister wanted to get a TV for one of my nieces- but I didn't know that until this morning or I would have gone to get it last night!
My brother was at Best Buy- got in line at like 7 pm on Thursday and was number 89 in line. He tried getting my mom one of those tvs but they went to the people ahead in line. He did manage to get a laptop though.
My mom went to Walmart- got two really cheap laptops.
H and I ran to Penney's, but we waited until 10 am on Friday. I got two pairs of boots that were normally $100 + each, for $30 each. I also did some shopping online at Kohls - got 15% of everything including sale prices, free shipping and earned $30 kohls cash.
We got a new vacuum for $40 off regular price, its on ive been pining for so i was excited. We also picked up a few more sets of tupperware that we like since it was on sale for like $6 compare to like $20. Other than that, just a few things here and there but nothing huge. We were practical this year
I did go out later by myself and pick up Ziggy's Christmas gift for very cheap, some tools that he told me he wanted a while ago but would never buy for himself, and i got them for $100 off! Yay!

I went to Macy's around 11am and picked up a pair of boots I've been eying for half off. Then we did Gap for some jeans, and I stopped into Banana Republic by chance and found a dress I've been in love with forever on clearance with an extra 40% off! A $150 Mad Men collection dress for $60! I was soooo happy!
I stayed away from Target, Best Buy, etc, because those places are always zoos around here unless you go later in the day/at night.
