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

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.

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).

Where did she find the gift card deals, @Micca?

Midwestern regional grocery store, unfortunately not in your neck of the woods. I wonder if another grocery chain in your area has a similar deal? Not sure of the exact numbers but the deal is "Spend $XXX on gift cards, get grocery store gift cards." Of course we buy the gift cards with the Disney Visa, so more reward points

Watched my Grandkids all day yesterday. They circled a million things in wishbooks Grandma had acquired so now I know what to get when I do start shopping.

I am in Williamsburg, VA this weekend and while I did go out to some of the stores, Target and so on, I went nowhere near the outlet mall here in town. I drove by mid-morning and there was a line to get into the parking lot that had to be 3 miles long. No way I was doing that!
