I only taught 1 day again this week. Since I only had my twins for most of today, I took them out shopping with me this morning. There was a grand re-opening of aN expensive clothing store in town. The first 50 adults received a voucher to select a size and gender of items that were pre-bagged for the give away. I received an orange hoodie and a really nice blue collared t-shirt. The shirt will be for Christmas for Dh. The orange sweater will be a gift for a friend of ours.

A second hand store across the street also had a 50% off everything sale. I spent $8 total. 5 story books, a dry erase numbers book, t-shirt for Dh, and t-shirt for ds to grow into. Most of the books and the dry-erase book will be a share gift for our children.

What’s on your Black Friday wish list?

Nothing at all! I have never participated in these things!

[flemeth]

Good morning all. @Angela273 I have never taken advantage of Black Friday. But my DDs do so not sure what’s on there list.

A month or so ago my local FreshCo did a revamp. Now has a Rain Check policy with 10% reduction, Quality guarantee where they will refund AND replace the item, and at that time the worst thing was only price matching 4 stores down from 13 or so previously!

Yesterday my fav cashier asked why she had not seen me as often. I told her I shop at NF more now since they PM more. She said they changed their policy back to the old PM list as the new one was "not working"! OOPS! Win for me!

Carpe Diem folks!
