I just have to say I hope everyone had a marvelous Thanksgiving! I certainly did :) There was so much food...

 

 

Now on to the 12 Days of Christmas Blog Challenge...
Go link up at the top of the post!

I am posting later today because I just got back from Black Friday shopping. I got three people completely crossed off my list of people to buy for so I am happy with that :)

I only really have one tip and I have already mentioned it once before but it's a good one! Before venturing out to shop, it is crucial to make a list of all of the people you plan on buying Christmas gifts for and how much you want to spend on them. I always do this every year and it prevents me from overspending on people and I never forget to buy for anyone.

Oh I just thought of another one...NEVER buy anything unless it's on sale! It is always tempting to buy something at first sight but chances are, it will eventually go on sale so it's better to wait.

Happy Black Friday everyone! Hope y'all are enjoying your Thanksgiving leftovers!

Day Two: Black Friday/General Shopping Tips & Tricks

I loved reading about everyone's traditions yesterday!

Go link up with Aly and Molly!

Okay I love to shop so naturally Black Friday is a very busy day for me.

MADNESS!

It all starts the Sunday before Black Friday. The Sunday newspaper has all of the Black Friday deals in it so that's when I decide where I will be going to shop.

Of course in order to map out where I will be going, it is always good to have a list of all the people I will be buying Christmas gifts for and about how much I want to spend on each person.

On the day of Black Friday, I get up around 6 to be ready in time to get to the stores before they are picked over.

It is so annoying to get to a store and not find what I want! I hate that!

I am so looking forward to this Black Friday. Yummy Thanksgiving food followed by a day of shopping sounds perfect to me!

Have a great Tuesday everyone :)
