Holiday deals and new stuff...

Yeah real Tupperware.

Nice new dishes that aren't chipped, but are microwave, oven,
and dishwasher safe.



Last week I found an online coupon and saved 33% or some obscure amount on my holiday picture cards from Walgreen's. Yes! I was terribly excited about that. It got me in the mood for some serious Holiday bargain shopping. This year we're trying to be tighter with our money, so I'm making most of the presents we're giving people. We do however have some things to buy and on the day after Thanksgiving I did get up early, but no earlier than I normally do on a Friday. I walked over to Target (we live right behind it) and I bought a few little presents, but the bulk of my shopping was for us. When I got home Jesse and I stopped by Wal-mart before I took him to work to see what deals they had. All in all we got some great deals. The Tupperware and dishes pictures above, all for under $35 total. We broke down and bought all the Harry Potters on Blue ray for $10 each. We just got a PS3 which plays Blue rays, but we didn't have any to watch. We actually did a Harry Potter marathon yesterday. The biggest ticket item we got was a Tomtom GPS system that retailed for $250 and we paid $97. We're pretty excited about it. Jesse really wants to take a road trip now, so we can test it out. That would require time and money, 2 things we are severely lacking at the moment. Maybe someday we'll get to road trip, probably to Iowa, Utah, or New Mexico since those are the obvious places we always go. Anyhow... I hope you all had a nice Holiday weekend and if you did do some shopping I hope it wasn't that crazy and that you came out with some great deals like we did. :)

Yeah, I woke up @ 6:45 which is normal time for me and walked over since we live 2 blocks away. It wasn't that crazy. I don't think it ever is @ our Target, because it's not next to any other big stores and it's not a Super Target. By the time I got there they had tons of stuff left. We didn't buy the Tomtom until Saturday afternoon and there were only 2 left at that point. I wonder if there are any GPSs on sale today online. Today is Cyber Monday, it's supposed to be the best online shopping day.
