I went out shopping for a few hours this morning, because DH works for a local radio station and had to be at the mall in the middle of the night and I thought that was a good enough excuse to be out in the shopping madness :).
I primarily bought clothes for our nephews - great deals at American Eagle (40% everything in the store), and the Children's Place (30% off everything in the store).
I also selfishly picked up something for us - Found a $70 set of sheets at JcPenney for $15! Figured I couldn't pass up a deal that fantastic :).
What else did other people pick up in the early morning hours today?
@MissEdamame: I was sick or else I'd have gone out. I'm doing my shopping online. Same deal from AE with free shipping. Victoria Secret has bras bogo 50%. Plus a free tote. And bath and body works has if you spend $40, you can buy a tote for $20 and it comes with over $100 worth of stuff. I also have a bogo for yankee candle and it's buy 2 candles (same size) get 2 (same size) free.
I got a Nikon camera for $100 at Target last night (usually $199). I am pretty happy with it so far after playing around a bit today. That was the only thing that I really wanted so I grabbed it and left. Usually I will shop more, but there wasn't much more I wanted this year.
@mrskesslertobe: Is it a digital SLR? My SIL recently got a digital SLR and I've been wanting one since then. Her camera takes gorgeous photos. Something I definitely plan to invest in before we have kids.
I think I did pretty good at Victora secret today too. I had a coupon for free panties, and two $10 off coupons, one for a bra, one for any purchase over $50 and bras were b1g1, so I got two bras and panties for $44, and had $30 store credit so walked out paying $13. My husband got a $800 shot gun for $400 after rebates, so he's pretty happy with that.
ohhh i got....
a belt for 4 dollars from express :) (40% off plus clearance)
30 piece rubbermaid easy find lid tupperware - $6.something- walmart
microfiber bathroom rug (i forget... 4 maybe...)- walmart
10 diamond candles with free shipping!!! - diamondcandles.com
a shirt for $10, boots for 19.99... and some other clothes (macys)
a new peacoat for dh - 70 some dollars- kohls... plus i racked up 75 in kohls cash because i also bought him a watch and some other clothes plus a pair of earrings for myself! :)
a 7 dollar sweater from target
hmmmm cant remember the rest right now.... still delirious from not sleeping yet haha!!!
FI just bought me a Fujifilm camera for $188, and I picked him up Cabela's Big Game Hunter for Wii for $20 less than I've seen it everywhere else. I was hoping for bigger/better sales, but it's not a big loss.
@MissEdamame: It is not, I think it is what they call a bridge between digital and SLR. There a lot of different settings to play with. I couldn't find any reviews before I bought it so I was a little nervous, but for $100 I am happy with quality.
I got the Nikon Coolpix L105, I guess it is a little sister to the L120 (they look exactly the same) that I really wanted to buy, but at this point didn't want to invest that much into a new camera.
My favorite purchase was a 32" tv from walmart for only $200.00
We went out last night at 830 and got home at 230...LOL! I picked up 4 picture frames at Michaels which were about 60% already, then an additional 30% coupon. Got em all for $30...score! Planning to get some more today if I make it out for more xmas gifts.
We got DH a bunch of shirts at Khols on the cheap, but our mission at Walmart failed...LOL

we were outside of target at 6pm last night. #13 in line. My sister really wanted the 46in they had for $298. And she got it! They only had 14 tv's and she got the second to last one! Fi and also got a 55in from best buy....got 2to nine west jackets for $70you each....lots of clothes from macy's, aeropostle, childrens place and vicki secrets and best buy.
I did my first ever BF shopping last night at WalMart. I am really short on money this year, but I totally splurged and bought SO a laptop -- $200! I'm really pleased and he's going to be so excited :D
I haven't left my apartment but... I did get a great deal for Black Friday. I am moving in with my fiance in three weeks so I called the moving van company to put a deposit down, and they knocked $50 off the going rate because it's Black Friday. Wooohoo... that will mean I have just a little bit more to spend on Christmas presents this year!
Now if I can just get motivated to start packing. Gulp!
I bought a new bedset, a blanket, and a bunch of sheets for $150 and got $45 Kohls Cash back, plus my card has 10% cash back at Kohls.
And I got a shredder that is normally $100 for $19.99.
The big stuff I did was go to the drugstores for a bunch of free personal care stuff!
I worked last night. There's a Home Depot in between my work and home so I stopped there after work to pick up my $50 7.5ft pre-lit Christmas tree. Best deal I saw anywhere. I'm so excited. FI and I already put it up. We just need to decorate it now.
Sorry for the huge, crappy iPhone pictures. Now I'm searching for a 50" TV that's at a decent price. FI wants a 1080P, not 720P (which are all on sale). So picky he is.
@MissPumpkinPie: I'd do the TV cyber monday if you can't find anything today.
@MissAsB: Do you mind me asking where you got the shredder? I have been wanting one for ages but can't justify spending 100 on one when SO tells me to rip it up by hand, haha.
A King size down alternative comforter and memory form pillow for $20 each!
Even though I'm in Canada, I'm sneaky. My credit card company changed my billing address to a shipping depot I use in Buffalo (I just have to call and change it back on Monday or Tuesday). I shopped online at Macys and got some great deals! I got 2 pairs of diamond hoop earrings (one for me and one for my best friend), $40 each, marked down from $160. A 2 strand pearl necklace for $69, marked down from $300, and two crockpot buffet thingies (it has three little pots with individual controls) for $29 each, down from $69. If I were American, I could mail in for $10 rebates on the crockpots. Still a good deal without it! We're going to keep them for housewarming presents for friends :) Free shipping, but I paid $10 to upgrade it so that it'll be at my shipping place when I go down on Wednesday (fingers crossed it'll be there anyways). Very very happy!
ETA - I should clarify, I had to be sneaky because a lot of American websites won't allow you to use an American shipping address but an international billing address. It's so dumb.
@MissPumpkinPie: We just got ours a few weeks ago, they've really come down in price!
I didn't leave the house... never have, I really do not do well in crowds.
BUT I got my mom some Kate Spade earrings from Amazon for $50!
I got a full-sized Kat Von D's Adora perfume for $10, along with a Stila palette and lipgloss, and two different Tokidoki eyeshadow quads all for $10 each!
I also got a dress and a shirt for $18 and a few sweaters and long-sleeved shirts from JC Penny for under $10 each as well. :)
I was always under the impression "Black Friday" was for buying other people's gifts. I just love that everyone bought things for themselves!!!
@twentyeleven: I got it at Staples. You have to pay $49.99 but you submit for the rebate online and they will send you a check or a VISA prepaid card.
@RR: I have been SO bad this year buying for myself!!! LOL!!! But I've also been really good about keeping a list of what I've bought for each person since I started too early, it's easy to over buy! Tonight we're hitting Zellers for 2 for 1 board games, sale starts at 6pm :) Tomorrow is 2 for 1 pillows there as well, we desperately need new pillows! Hm. That's stuff for me again.... lol!
@bakerella: Haha I didn't buy anything for other people either. we need our own stuff!
PS - Very cool about the loophole shipping to the US!
@bakerella: Just curious where you found the earrings at? I live in Toronto also.
@MissAsB: Well with the board games I'll likely get one or two for my stepson, and one or two for me, lol!! I saw a new version of Phase 10 that we have to have :) The shipping to Canada thing is so silly. I'm so happy I found this shipping depot in Buffalo. You pay $5/package, $10 if it's oversized. They'll hold indefinitely for you. You can leave all the packaging and stuff there, so you can sneak it back across the border (not that I condone that 
). It's ridiculous how much it costs to ship something to Canada vs in the States. I wish I had known about this place while I was planning our wedding, I had everything shipped to my aunt's in Kansas and my parents had to go pick it up, lol!!
@bakerella: Wow that is pretty awesome! Which version of Phase 10 is it? I love that game!
@kc3636:I bought them from Macys.com. I get stuff from the States shipped to CBIUSA in Buffalo (just on the other side of the Rainbow Bridge). Macy's ships internationally, but a lot of the time I don't think the expense is worth it. I'd rather drive down and make a day of it (and visit Joann fabrics and Target! LOL!).
@MissAsB: Me too!!! It's Phase 10 twist. I'd never seen it before! The review I linked says if you like classic Phase 10 then you'll love this one. Poor DH is in for a board game night with me ;)
ETA - It gets great reviews on Amazon too.
@bakerella: Those are some pretty awesome deals. I need new pillows, too! But as you know, it's hard to do the extras now when we're planning the wedding. I'm just going to read this thread in envy!!!
got $80 jeans for $48 at express. I really needed new jeans and I never splurge on them so i thought why not :)
bought a present for my friend that was 30% off yay!
and I'm thinking of getting some boots online that are $16.. i don't think you can beat that on boots!FI got a really nice jacket at express for 40% , he was pretty happy!
I shopped all stinking night long. I cannot believe I made it.
Target:
Seasons 1 & 2 of Nurse Jackie for $7.99 each
Some kids games for $3.99 each
Kohls
A couple of $9 sweaters
Boots for $20
Nike running shoes for $26
Electric griddle for $10 (I was really excited about this one!)
Hand mixer for $10
I got a stability ball for $5.99 from sears
A cheapo $20 6' tree from Kmart. This is our first Christmas in our apartment so we were just looking for something that we can use for a couple of years before upgrading.
The most recent Harry Potter for $6.99 from Best Buy along with a couple of 99 cent DVDs
Oooo and I got some new sewing sissors and a bunch of patterns from Joanns for 99 cents each.
I got all that stuff and only spent about $130 because I had coupons on top of a lot of those prices. I'd say this year was a success. I also have decided that next year I will probably shop online. I HATE staying up all night and since I am not going for any of the big ticket items most of them end up online.
@bakerella: Sneaky, sneaky. lol. I had a few things that don't ship to APO (which is an overseas, American military address) to my mom and she's going to forward them to us.
Only stuff I bought was baby stuff. I bought our baby swing, bouncer and pack n play for under $250 and then scored some really cute clothes from Carter's since they were having an insane sale. DH is excited about this one since he's a guitar player.
I just purchased these 3 appliances for Christmas gifts online! This deal is good for today only.
Waffle Maker, Blender and Griddle $62.97 + FREE shipping-20% off code- CON20HH4 - ($12.59)Pay: $50.38 + Tax, Submit for $30 mail-in rebates, receive $15 in Kohl’s Cash + 10% cash back ($5.04)
Final Price: $0.34!
PLUS - Get a free $10.00 gift card. I made money doing this deal :)
Let me know if you need the link, weddingbee won't allow me to share it on here.
Enjoy!
