My husband wishes I baked like this year round...

As far as BF -- I am waiting on Best Buy and Target. We will go to Sears for the $10 gift cards as well.

I hope Sears does the $10 card again this year, they are pretty much the only store around here that gives away anything on BF!

My sister and I think that the BF sales have gotten progressively worse over the past 3-4 years. I hope this year that there is something to get excited about!

I totally agree - I think Black Friday deals have been the pits over the past couple of years. A big disappointment. A lot of it (especially Walmart) is the same stuff...the same $3 toaster...the same $5 Barbie...etc. I hate to say it, but I'm getting bored of Black Friday and I'm a DIE HARD 4am shopper!!!

I got the TRU big book yesterday. It has a $10 off $100 cpn, a $10 gift card with $75 cpn and 20% off one clothing or shoe item.

I totally agree with you, same crappy products each year! It used to be so exciting to get the papers and plan out our stops, now it's like we have to search for deals that are actually worth going out for!!

I keep hoping that one of these years there is actually going to be some good competition between the stores for BF sales, but I don't think that will happen. More and more are switching to doing sales on Thanksgiving or doing Friday/Saturday sales. It takes the fun out of it!

Thankfully, I am almost done with my Christmas Shopping!!!

I just need to pick up a couple little things for stockings.

I already have about 75% of my shopping done, Christmas Cards are printed (still need to be addressed though), and most of my wrapping supplies are bought as well. I still need to making a baking list and get supplies for that though. I can't wait until DH lets me start decorating! We do Christmas big at our house, so it will take us a couple of weeks to get all of the trees and decorations out.

OMG, I thought I started early! Although I have started shopping, I haven't pulled out the many Christmas CD's yet. Neither have I purchased the wrapping supplies. For the last 26 years I've started on October 1st. This year I moved it up to September 1st, becausse it seemed as if I was running out of time as of these last couple of years.

Glad to see someone as excited as I am!
