slo’s FRIDAY 11/28 poll - Black Friday Shopping 🛍️

[georgina]

Where did she find the gift card deals, @Micca? I'm always on the lookout to save some $$$ for my trips (although last trip, $550 mysteriously disappeared from my DGC! It was found and reinstated, but that was a pretty crappy 20 hours to end my trip...)

There's a whole thread in the Budget board section about this. Giftcards dot com had some, Target has online offers in the app, there are many others

I haven't gone shopping purely because it's Black Friday for a few years. I've bought a few bits today because I needed them, and some years I'll get things if I need christmas presents but that's it.

I have never been a Black Friday shopper.
I have never wanted to be in those crowds and chaos.
There was never anything so discounted it was worth it.
These days I avoid stores as much as I can.
Once Black Friday became an online thing I would shop.
But I would hold back on anything not important for Cyber Monday.
This year I shopped some last week when they offered sales.
Not much this week.
I'll shop a small bit next week (Cyber Monday) only if special item.
But overall I'm cutting back on gifts except for Grandkids.
I'm just done shopping for the sake of it, no joy,
and my kids would rather get a big thing they are wanting.
Like DS#2 got a piece of furniture and it's already delivered to him.
I did do two big gift baskets for Seniors through a local charity.
They deliver 350 baskets to Seniors who live on minimal,
the forgotten ones that could use some joy!
I'll probably do it again for their Spring Basket giving.
The rest of the year I have monthly shipments of food sent to their pantry.

We were at the farm/hardware store at 6 am to snag their "free after rebate" items and some other things. Busy there. Then at Walmart at 7 am for just everyday stuff we needed and it was just like any other day there.

Just reviewed my Kohls cart online and deleted it all. But I placed an Amazon order. We are almost done. Just need to get a gift card, the girls' annual huge pack of toilet paper, and 2 grab bag gifts, after we know if that Christmas is going to happen.

I made a Chewy order since they had a gift card deal today only ($40 ecard with a $100 order).
