I'm a NUT. email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 97/100. Polly1 (8473)   ranked 105 out of 7,428 in shopping3 years ago

To all my fellow Mylotians, I have come to the conclusion that I am a nut. I participated in Black Friday, something I normally don't do. Wow I got some bargains, I shopped till I dropped. I am almost done shopping and I have a big list of people to buy for. My daughter in law and 2 yr. old grandson went too. He came in my room early this morning, I was still sleeping. He tapped my arm, I opened my eyes. He said gramma I'm ready to go. Who else went shopping today? Did you get some good bargains? Share some of them here. I got some Kodak 2GB memory cards for Kodak cameras for $12.88. I was able to get all the kids and grandkids jammies for Christmas. I got the boys a set that came with a robe, slippers and a pair of pj's for $14. I spent $300 at good ole Walmarts, I got some great bargains. Happy shopping to all.

You are a brave soul Polly! I'm not even leaving the house for any reason today. I hate all the crowds & pushing & pulling to get items for gifts. I'll do my shopping after Christmas! Happy Holidays...Lori


myLot reputation of 97/100. Polly1 (8473)   ranked 105 out of 7,428 in shopping  3 years ago

We didn't leave the house until around 10 this morning. I am not that NUTTY, I wasn't one of them nuts who go in the wee hours of the morning. I just went to Walmarts and Big Lots, both about 10 minutes from my house.


myLot reputation of 91/100. dumblnddzzy (10278)   ranked 766 out of 7,428 in shopping  3 years ago

No your not that nutty I would have to agree. But I'll bet traffic was murder!!lol..Lori

My family went shopping today. We only went to Walmart. We got two 8GB RCA MP3 Players at Walmart and two little starter cases. All in all, it was about $100 for each MP3 Player which isn't bad because it's a video player/music player/and picture viewer. My mom also got two hoodie sweat shirts for $10 a piece that have my college's name on them. Those usually range from about $20-$40 a hoodie. There are a few other places we could have gone today, but it would have been insane to go there. We probably would have missed most of the deals anyway.


myLot reputation of 97/100. Polly1 (8473)   ranked 105 out of 7,428 in shopping  3 years ago

Walmart had some great deals, I could have spent a fortune there, I ran out of money. What I did get was some great deals. My Walmart had the Hoodies too, I was tempted.

Oh wow, you got some great deals! I decided to skip the shopping today. It just isn't worth the big hassle! I hate traffic and crowded stores so my husband and I spent the day looking at new travel trailers. I think we found a nice one and waiting until Monday to see how our notes will work with a trade in!


myLot reputation of 97/100. Polly1 (8473)   ranked 105 out of 7,428 in shopping  3 years ago

I hate the crowds and traffic too. I went 2 places 10 minutes from my house. Surprising the store wasn't crowded, the real nuts were early and left by the time I got there.

I think its really exciting finding a bargain. When my kids were little, I did this a lot. It sound like you got some really good deals.


myLot reputation of 97/100. Polly1 (8473)   ranked 105 out of 7,428 in shopping  3 years ago

I got some great deals, good luck with your bargain hunting, I hope you find some great deals too.

We thought about going shopping today but quickly put that thought aside. We have to put $570 into my car tomorrow and that pretty much leaves the piggy bank a bit empty for a couple of weeks.

Glad to hear that you didn't have a bad shopping day. I have read posts where people were knocked down, rudely spoken to by clerks, and they were left in a frenzy from the entire ordeal.

I would rather wait until a couple of weeks before Christmas to go shopping. I can't wait to go!


myLot reputation of 97/100. Polly1 (8473)   ranked 105 out of 7,428 in shopping  3 years ago

OUCH!!!! Good luck with your car. Surprising the store wasn't that crowded, people were nice and friendly. Good day for shopping. I just went 10 minutes from my house and only to 2 stores. Happy shopping when you do get to go.

Well polly, i do not usually go shopping either but today I did...I also found some great bargins.We have a store here called BigLots and i hit that store..I found my 15 year old granddaughter a beautiful sterling silver cross necklace, and a real cute bag, that she can take with her overnight,and inside the bag had a nice fluffy throw, and i found her some cute makeup bags...these are the things she likes.I also found some fisher price nice toys for tots, for 3:00 each for the smaller babies...I shopped for hours there..Then we have a giant mart, thats where i bought some beautiful wrapping paper, tinsel to trim the packages, and some really pretty bows..I also was able to find a lot of books for the moms to read to the smaller ones,like goldie locks, little red riding hood, they had all the classics..I shopped until i was give out.i came home to hubby and the dog, and popped some corndogs in the oven,which my hubby loves and have just sit back and relaxed and thought of all the things i bought today. If im not sore tommorro i will hit good ole Walmart..heehee


myLot reputation of 97/100. Polly1 (8473)   ranked 105 out of 7,428 in shopping  3 years ago

I went to Big Lots too, you can always find some good bargains there. My son and daughter in law went to Big Lots this morning, they are expecting another baby. They got a good bargain. Its a video baby moniter system for $40. It has the camera/microphone, the moniter and then another thing you carry with you. That will be great for when the baby comes, we all live in a 2 story house. Tomorrow I am going to JCPenneys and Target with my mom. I only have a few more little things to get and then I am done. If I had lots of money, the grandkids would have made out like bandits, but you have to draw the line somewhere.


myLot reputation of 93/100. slickcut (6010)   ranked 18 out of 7,428 in shopping  3 years ago

Those baby moniters are really nice to have.I did not go out today,it has been cold and raining,so we just stayed in and watched movies, i might just use this time to wrap my presents...I have 13 grandkids so what i do is just buy for their babies,they are still real small.My smaller grandkids or i should say the ones thats not married i buy for them and of course my own kids.I opened a Montgomery Ward account not long ago so i am buying from them most of the bigger things., and also have bought a few things from fingerhut..I will have to pay for this later but i just did not have the cash,but i will buy as long as i can..I married really young,had my first child at 15, we had 5 children one after the other,and was married 38 years,but he died,and now i am remarried but i was a grandma at 30, so i have really got a lot of kids,grandkids and now some very small great grandkids at age 62,so i am blessed...


myLot reputation of 97/100. Polly1 (8473)   ranked 105 out of 7,428 in shopping  3 years ago

I was a young gramma too. My hubby was 20 yrs. older then me, we had 27 yrs. together before he died. I have 3 stepdaughters( I hate the word step) but I am not old enough to have given birth to them and they do have another mom. The oldest one, who I am the closet too, we are only 7 yrs. apart in age. I am like her mom, she is my kid. I have been around her since she was 11 yrs. old. I have 11 grandchildren and another on the way. I have 1 natural son, he has 3 boys and a girl on the way. I have been a gramma since I was in my 20's, I love it. My oldest granddaughter is 18 yrs. old. My son, daughter in law and 2 yr. old grandson live with me. They moved in after my hubby died. I am also blessed. I love buying for the grandkids. They are all getting jammies and of course goodies. My son, bless his heart, helped me out. He gave me $250 to spend on Christmas shopping, I only have 1 more small git to get and then I am done. Then the hard work starts, the wrapping, hehe. Take care, and Merry Christmas coming up soon.


myLot reputation of 93/100. slickcut (6010)   ranked 18 out of 7,428 in shopping  3 years ago

well Polly i can tell you are really blessed with a wonderful family.It was nice that one of your children moved in with you after your husband died...I know that probably helped you a lot emotionally to have them there..I also have read a lot of your post and discussions and i feel that your family is also blessed to have you.,you sound like a very nice person....

You really are a nut for shopping on black friday. Just kidding.:-) I would not go shopping on black friday because of all the chaos. Glad to hear that you found some bargains and came out with things that you wanted to get, Glad that you also made it home safely as it can be quite dangerous out there as well at this time of the year. I may run out this morning and get some things like christmas cards for friends and some small things for my home.


myLot reputation of 97/100. Polly1 (8473)   ranked 105 out of 7,428 in shopping  3 years ago

Normally I stay home on Black Friday, this year I looked at some of the ads. The bargains were just too good to pass up. I only went about 10 minutes from my house, I am not that nutty to venture out too much, hehe. Don't you know, nutty people are out on Black Friday, I try to stay away from them, hehe.

I went shopping yesterday, but from the comfort of my home and my couch.

I did my shopping online, and I got some great deals on stuff from Ebay and BestBuy!

No hassle, no wear and tear on my feet, and best of all I only charged the items that I bought from best buy, everything else this year has been cash!

So outside of one more major gift, and stocking stuffers and candy I'm done, done done.

places are trying to reach the people who prefer shopping, offering online specials only as well.

Hey it works for me....

The mp3 players I bought last night were originally in store only specials, but about 8pm or 9pm they changed it so I could buy it online.

I save 75.00 on 3 mp3 players 2gig players, they would only let me buy one of each model so I had to buy a black, pink and red one, no problem color coded is good!

But yes, I got some great deals online, and more than half my shopping has been done at ebay this year....can't complain there.

Mooch


myLot reputation of 97/100. Polly1 (8473)   ranked 105 out of 7,428 in shopping  3 years ago

I love Ebay. Its so much fun. I did alot of my shopping last year online. This year the Walmart Had some terrific deals on pj's, I managed to get all the kids and grandkids some. I will probably finish my shopping on ebay. You can find some great bargains.
