Shopping, Food, and everything in between

These past couple days have been filled with lots of goodies (not all food) Guess I was still stuck in food/shopping coma and was to lazy to write... it happens.

Of course Thanksgiving was filled with family and good food... what more can ya ask for? And honestly, that about sums it up.

Friday, my mom and I ventured out for Black Friday, it's actually something we love... and let me tell you, we get some good deals. I think people are crazy for NOT wanting to go out! I calculated from receipts and promotions, etc, that I saved about $450-$500! How can you not be happy with that? I got 3/4 of my Christmas shopping done, in one day. This is why I love Black Friday shopping. We also never really run into crazy situations like every else says will happen, yes they do happen, just not to us yet.

I'll tell you there is a way to do Black Friday shopping that won't let you down, and that is to go out with a plan. For weeks I plan my Black Friday shopping... our route, what I want to buy, and I make sure I have as many coupons as possible. No craziness, no over spending, and always getting what I want. It's the best way to do it... plan it out - you cant go wrong.

The rest of the weekend was just relaxing...

I did get a chance to go down to Value City Furniture, which was awesome. They have some great deals and some lovely furniture.... I can see my wallet now, it has a lock on it, because I know exactly what I want to get.. time to start saving.

Now it is the Christmas season, and it is OK to listen to Christmas music. I refuse to listen to it before Thanksgiving, because it just takes the fun out of Thanksgiving. One Holiday at a time for me. We usually decorate the house Thanksgiving weekend, but we didn't yet, guess my mom and I have been lazy, but I plan on doing it this week. Then, let the fun begin. I have lots of plans for Christmas crafts and DIY projects, and of course lots of baking....

It's the most wonderful time of the year =)

BTW... I finally got into Pinterest.. one word - addicting!!
