demarianaYesterday I went out and Shopped my little heart out. I got to 3 stores before 7:30am. The order was Meijer, Target and then Staples. We went to Home Depot and Walgreens when we took Jeshua to work and then alittle later Caritas and I went to Kmart for some things.
The whole household looked thru the ads and decided on things the household could use to get and start using right now. I also got a couple of things for my nieces as actual Christmas gifts.
At Meijers I got a poker table top, a laser level, and a toy for a niece.
At Target is where I got the most items. I was able to pick up 3 things for my nieces. One is something my brother will have to put together. I have promised him I would never get them drums though. *grins* I also ended up with a family sized griddle, a under the cabinet cd/radio, 2 plug and play games, Simon, Merlin and the finally a Nokia Pre-Paid Tracfone. We have been needing a 2nd cell phone but not wanting to pay the prices for another service, or upgrading to family. We really only need one for when Jeshua is at school and people want to go out so he can call when he gets out of class. This is PERFECT. It also has long distance so at times when we go on a trip we can take it. Basically a back up cell phone with minimal use. It can average as little as $10/month.
At Staples I got a phone and a labeler. Both have rebates which is very cool.
At Home Depot we got a lovely Shop-Vac that Phaeton had been eying. It worked on the heat vents great! We could have created another cat with all the hair we got out.
Walgreens was all about the 12 pack of batteries for $0.99 cents each. It was a limit 2, but we had 3 people. We got 6 packs. I also go to see my Mom for a couple of minutes. She was at Walgreen's as well. I still need to figure out what to tell her I would like for the holidays. I have no idea what to get her though.
Oh, side trip to Dillards to pick up Phaeton's Birthday present. He will be 39 on Dec 5th. *grins* I think he is really going to like the gift.
The final place was Kmart to pick up a couple of things. Nothing major. The big thing was Soda 5/$10 for Pepsi Products. Caritas got a pair of shoes and we picked up 2 of the already wrapped gifts for men since they were buy one get one. *grins*
The cool thing is that none of this was on credit cards. That is a very good feeling.
