I Survived

I had to go out and brave the stores today. Yes. I’m still not completely through, but I did about all I could do with my dad there as men don’t really shop and I hated to ask him to browse the mall. I did finish off a few more people though, and I think I only have 3 people left – and I know what I want to buy two of them – I just need to go out by myself.

Tomorrow we are going to take my car to a couple shops to see if anyone can diagnose it. Please pray for me that it’s not as bad as we fear. My dad says part of him thinks it’s bad, and part doesn’t as the signs don’t quite line up. I’m not sure what that means, but I know I don’t have a lot of money and I can’t afford any major work. It started acting up Friday and I haven’t moved it since I parked it Friday night as I don’t want to cause more problems in hopes that it is something small.  With 140,000 miles on it, I’m VERY NERVOUS!

Why Me?

I’ve been so busy the last couple days and my list doesn’t seem to get shorter. Sometimes I think that vacation time is actually a bad thing because it makes going back so difficult.  I think it’s sad that on the first day back to school after Thanskgiving, I am already counting down the days until Christmas vacation.  On top of that, I get a call today from my dad that my grandmother has decided she wants a piece of Moroccan furniture she saw at the trade days thing she went to last weekend for Christmas. Dad and I don’t know what to get her so now I’m in charge of finding this piece of Moroccan furniture. Yea….just one more thing on my to do list.  yes, I’m a super woman!  :)

A Black Friday Special

Looking for a good deal for a hunter in your life? Pretty much every male I know in this county (and all surronding counties) are hunters so I noticed this one quick!!  Check out this Nikon Black Friday Promo I just found and had to share.  It is an ultimate Hunter’s Promotion that includes:

  • ProStaff 3-9×40 Riflescope with BDC Reticle 
  • ProStaff Laser Rangefinder 
  • Silent Technology Rangefinder Case 
  • Mastering a Long-range shot with BDC DVD 
  • $50 NikonProGear Gift Card 

This is a great set I can assure you (I’ve consulted my local hunters).  By purchasing this you will save almost $150.

Not looking for quite such a large package (even if it is a good deal)? You can buy the Nikon Action Extreme ATB 10×50 binoculars and get an extra $20 off.  Or check out the many other special offers thay have right now. It really is a large selection that you’ll find whatever the hunter in your life is dreaming of owning for a great price.

Quality Gifts Under $25

As mentioned in my previous post, I am actively involved today in my holiday gift shopping.  So imagine the luck when just minutes after posting, I get an email telling me about Kmart‘s awesome deals (25,000 quality gifts under $25) and asking me to share these great sales and prices with my readers.  While browsing to tell you about these great deals I found so many awesome things I don’t know where to begin. 

I found a great Craftsman screwdriver set that I may pick up for my brother, some Tinkerbell earrings for Cameron, a cordless screwdriver I’ve had my eye on for a while, a really pretty sequined dress for Cameron (for Christmas pictures), in fact all kinds of clothing, and the My First Craftsman Deluxe Rolling Tool Box that I’ve been thinking would make a great gift for my nephew.  Now I just have to narrow down the cart that I’ve filled up and make a final purchase.

Some other things I found that were notable, but not on my shopping list this year are Craftsman tool boxes and bags, girls’ jeans, and Leapster Learning games.  

If you are wanting to avoid the crowds that are getting heavier every day and do some online shopping, be sure to check out Kmart (and remember they are also offering layaway this season).

WooHoo….the Thanksgiving Sales Begin

I’ve spent the morning going through and finding out who has started their sales now and who will have what tomorrow. I’ve never done much online shopping for Thanksgiving sales but because I need to make some money to continue my Super Member status at Sunshine Rewards (see link to the right), I’ve been watching anxiously this year.  If I can find the gifts for great prices online, I can purchase them through my SR links and then receive the good deals as well as a percent back from shopping through Sunshine Rewards.

What I really want is a laptop for the girls, but so far I’m still looking for the right price.  I just don’t have much this year, but they are really wanting them so I am watching closely in hopes of at least being able to find one for my oldest daughter.  We shall see.  If you are wanting to see what sales are available now or will be soon, check out bfads.net for some great listings.
