Christmas Countdown - 2015

[snowflake22]

You sound just like me! I am not an impulsive shopper and will wait for certain things to go on sale. If you have a coupon as well, that's even better!!! Good for you!

When you get a chance can you post a picture of what you bought?

;-) Thanks!
...for the most part, I can practice good restraint. Especially with stores like Joann's or Michaels, etc. Because I get their emails every week, and check their apps for the best coupons. I know if it's not a good enough sale, I'll wait for the following week! It's things like retired village pieces, or rare collectibles on places like eBay that I tend to act quickly on because I'm afraid I'll miss out.

I will definitely post pics!

Thanks, friend.
Nothing like a little retail therapy to de-stress!
I am in line & buying a cute garden flag & corn stalk metal stake. Both are 60% off. I've been waiting, because they were a bit overpriced to begin with. Plus, I have my 25% off coupon!

Hugs & prayers being sent back to you!

I lucked out! I've been admiring that Garden stake for quite sometime now, but couldn't bring myself to pay full price, or even the low sale prices that they had it on before.
It was one of their door busters, I think!
Their Halloween was 40% off I believe, and their fall 30% off. But they did have an aisle of 60% off for door busters.
I always stock up on their seasonal soaps and lotions, too. That way I can switch them up throughout the year!
Hope you guys find some great deals!

Sounds like a great deal Snowflake, that's awesome. I didn't see any door busters in my store, I'll have to make sure I didn't miss that when I go back.

Apparently the coupon wasn't supposed to be eligible with the door busters, but I had asked an associate in the back & she said yes they were. And I stood in line for 15 minutes (only had 2 cashiers!). So, when she told me I couldn't use the coupon, I must've gave her a look
I politely told her that an associate in the back told me they were, and I wouldn't have stood in line this long knowing that. She apologized and accepted the coupon, which was nice. I wouldn't have been too happy if they didn't. I've been a manager, and appreciated polite complaints. Of course they were rare!

Hope you find some more deals!!

Yes, in those cases of hard to find items I grab them up! I always hold out for Bath and Body Works candles just like you do for those stores you listed. They always run a sale and they always have a coupon. It was really hard to wait when they released the pumpkin scents, I had to hold off until it went on sale! Those candles run over 22 bucks each at full price. I wait when they mark them down 2 for 24 bucks then add the 20% off coupon or 10 bucks off $30.00, whatever is available. We need to form a frugal shopping thread!

I need to look up the JoAnn's coupons!

TGIF, my Christmas friends!

It's supposed to be super hot today and tomorrow, then hopefully we'll get a slight break form the heat. Hunting season starts tomorrow, too! It's always been one of my favorite days of the year! I hope I get an invitation to a hunt!

Jacob turns 18 tomorrow. I can't believe it. Where did the time go? He wants us to take him to eat seafood in Savannah tomorrow night, so that's the plan.

I hope y'all have a great day!

Wow, hunting season starts already! I just checked the Maryland DNR hunting guide and Bow season starts here Sept 11th for White tail....

Happy Birthday to Jacob! Seafood is always a good choice...Have a good time!

Hope she has a wonderful trip!
I don't know New York very well, and what's still open as far as big Christmas stores.
Hallmark has beautiful (and some animated) Keepsake Ornaments.

Yes they do, I was just at one today and oh my, I was in heaven! They has Halloween and Christmas decorations out galore.. I just wanted to buy like one of everything!

 

[xmastidings]

Happy Friday! Boy, I'm bummed at the moment, I just got a phone call and here I was all excited that I had some time off finally, and I jus got called into to work for tomorrow.... Man, what a bummer. That ruins my plans to get some things done around the house tomorrow.

On a more happier note, today is our 23rd wedding anniversary...
