I love my neighborhood!
 

I went to the thrift store across the street, and scored three beautiful shirts that I can wear with my argyle vest, which was a Christmas gift, several years ago!

Nothing today, I'll buy a few things tomorrow Small Business Saturday:present:

Black Friday shopping
 

I don't shop on Black Friday. I won't support businesses that stay open on Thanksgiving and pay low wages to employees on a holiday and keep them from being with their families. So I don't shop. I boycott them. HA!

Black Friday at Bass Pro Shop WOW!

5 pairs of jeans
2 pairs of shoes
1 light weight coat
1 heavy coat
2 thermal shirts
1 camo fleece
2 bass shaped floating key rings for my boat key
Breakfast at Cracker Barrel

2 gallons milk
6 yogarts
1 pkg bagels

Bought
 

I went Christmas shopping today and I bought a few gifts for family and friends.

The kids are throwing me a birthday party soon so I got their gifts today. I looked at gift bags but then saw that the stockings were cheaper so I got those instead. I thought it was a cute idea. Stockings instead of gift bags. :)

A bronze, modern/Moroccan style pendant light to go over my dining room table! I have been looking for just the right thing for years, and I finally found what I want at a price I can afford.

The Family Dollar is my friend!
 

It all began because I needed some Clorox, so I hopped in the truck and drove to the neighborhood Family Dollar. Once I got in there I remembered that I still needed to get Miss Sadie some stuffed babies for Christmas. She already has an entire cooler (that's her toy box until we need it for camping) full of babies, but she still gets new ones to unwrap every year. $42 later...

Clorox- an unbelievable $4.00 for a gallon. That's just crazy but I refuse to buy the store brand of bleach, it's not the same strength.

A small thing of laundry soap because I need to do a load tonight. I ran out of my homemade soap and do not feel like making it tonight. - $5.35 (This is one reason I make my own)

A pack of new scouring pads for the kitchen and bathroom - $1.55 for an 8 pack

2- Awesome swivel bottle brushes for $1 each for cleaning my canning jars and some of my juicer parts.

1- role of cheap wrapping paper for Sadie's presents -$1

3- battery operated flickering candles for the 3 front house windows. -$1 each (That's the extent of my decorating. Oh wait, I did change my computer Windows background to Christmas decorations)

5- presents for Sadie. 4 stuffed and one rope toy - $1 each. Oh and a red sparkly Christmas bow collar for her too. It's actually a red sequined headband & bow for women, but it works fine for this too. - $2

2- 12 packs of Cokes that were on sale. I forget how much they were, I think 2-for-$9

A perfect sized square tin that I can fit 4 of the regular altoid sized tins into, all of which make up my fire box which holds my t various tinders and fire starting implements for camping, bugging out or what have you. -$1

A round tin of Danish style butter cookies- $2

Invisible tape- $1.65

The secret to these so called dollar stores is either stay out of them completely or stick to buying only the dollar items, which I did not do today.
:( Oh well.

A brand new battery for the truck
a drink from Sonic

new eyeglasses!

This morning? [ame="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000PWGZOI/"]This chair[/ame]. I'm pretty heavy and I have a tendency to shift positions a lot (from crossing legs to leaning forward to reclining to just plain slouching), so I'm hard on chairs. I'm dropping a lot of money on building a computer at the moment and am thus not ready to drop $500-$1000 or even more on a Herman Miller, Steelcase, or Humanscale with a 12-15 year warranty, so I grabbed a chair that gets "bang for your buck" awards at $415 while it was on sale for $172.05 after tax. Also I can remove the arms to make room for crossed legs.

Yesterday: I bought copies of Undertale for a couple of friends (on top of a third one back on the 15th). Amazing game, low price ($10 normally, $8 on sale). Perfect digital stocking stuffer.

The day before yesterday: a 650-watt EVGA GQ computer power supply for the computer I'm planning on building. It's new enough that customer reviews aren't in yet, but the experts who actually took electrician's testing tools to the thing and disassembled it to find out the quality of the components gave it rave reviews. A good mid-wattage-range power supply can easily run $100 or so, and I scored it at a grand total of $61.50.

Back on the 16th: a 250GB Samsung solid-state drive on sale for eighty bucks and free shipping, also for the computer I'm planning on building. It's basically a hard drive with no mechanical parts that is insanely fast and reliable as a result: we're talking stuff like booting to desktop in five seconds, a mean time before failure measured in millions of hours, and an annualised failure rate of like half a percent, at least for this brand and series (Samsung is one of the leaders in the field).

4 rolls of Disney Princess Christmas wrapping paper
dog and cat food
2 short sleeve dress shirts
3 long sleeve dress shirts
3 pairs of reading glasses
the list goes on

A Chanel wallet

...and now I need a safe

Dog food and one last present for my Sadie pup. It is one of those without stuffing except for the head. It is a blue dog and it has 11, count em, 11 squeakers in it! I must be insane. ;)

I just bought a new battery for my laptop and a sleeve/stand for my Kindle. Those and a couple of other things I am going to buy for my DIY pickup camper are my Christmas presents to myself this year.

Last night...

I was already in jammies...and my phone charger stopped working...

I had to get dressed and head to the Food Lion...which was already closed...

So I went to the gas station I passed by on the way....and proceeded to pay 14.99 for a charger. I had just bought a new charger earlier in the week....for $8...this one better last....is all I'm sayin

Just yesterday, a jug of winter windshield wiper fluid for like five bucks at a convenience store, because we were already like a half an hour or so out of town when we finally figured out that our windshield wiper fluid wasn't frozen so much as it was just plain no longer for this world.

Where is the thread for things you wanted but didn't buy?


Look how adorable! link :)

I bought two tickets to see Melissa Etheridge next month. Then I noticed that the Tedeschi Trucks Band is also playing in few days, so of course I had to buy a couple of those tickets as well. :D

What can I say? I'm a sucker for women who play guitar, and I've never seen Susan Tedeschi live. And, Derek Trucks is just a wee bit talented himself.

Car insurance

Phone service for another month

A new tire

Some groceries

Krispy kreme donuts

Super fun stuff.....
