Love is like a butterfly, it goes where it pleases and it pleases wherever it goes.
Love is like a butterfly, hold it too tight, it'll crush. Hold it too loose, it'll fly.

Black Friday Shopping

Did I go out shopping on Black Friday?



Yes, I did. Woke up at 3:30 am, decided not to take a shower (yuck!) and out the door I went at 3:45 am while the rest of the Txxxxxxxs residents were still in their sweet dreams.

I know, I'm one of the crazy whole bunch who went out shopping at the wee hours in the morning but look at the deals below. I just couldn't resist for not going out to "just have a look". Alright. I did get some of the stuff that I wanted but not all.

The first store I hit was Kohl's, which open its door at 4:00 am sharp.
I was there slightly 5 minutes after and there were a couple of people already done shopping in that store, walking to the carpark as I walked in.

I did get a couple of christmas presents for the girls and the line for check-out was unbelieveable long.

Walmart was the 2nd store I went and the shoppers there were out of control.

These are some of the stuff that I bought. That shop vac was only for $15. Bought one for MrR a couple years ago at $30. For half the price, I just couldn't resist. Yeah, I'm kiasu.

Now, take a look at the deals we have at Walmart.

Walmart - open from 5 am to 11 am on Black Friday.
DVD for $2 - dead cheap man.
$7 for the whole set - where to get, huh?
We don't need a microwave but that's a good deal.
Hand towel and washcloth at $1.50 a piece. Great prices but I passed on that.
6.5 feet pre-lit Christmas tree for $25. Ornaments of course not included. We always get a real Christmas tree but a pre-lit for $25 is a good deal.
Toys for $10 each.
PJs - $4 a set. Bought 2 sets each for the girls.
Fleece hoodies for $8 any size. The adults were all gone by the time I got there. Bought each one for the girls.
Jeans for adults and kids for $4 or $8.
Jacket for the family. Wanted to get the pink one for myself but they were all gone. Huhuhu!

MrR asked me what I want for Christmas.

I said I want this.......


Purchase any Estee Lauder fragrance and you will get to buy this set for $49.50 (click on the picture to enlarge)

or this...

Purchase any Lancome product above $36, you will get to buy this set for $49.50 (click on the picture to enlarge)

I'm kind of debating myself which one to get. Not a real big fan of perfume although I like the smell of Pleasure, so I'm kinda leaning towards more to Lancome's deal. I don't know. Help me to decide, please. Will you?

Cat, I thought I was crazy to shopping at 5.00am but you are much earlier than me :) You get a great bargain on the Vac. Carlos bought one for the basement and he paid over $35.00 for it.

Beachlover said...

oh!! yea,love Walmart too.I get 4 set of PJ for Mishu at $4 each..too bad the jacket for kid gone!..yes,the wet vacuum is a good deal! too bad we just got one at lowe's still in box.

Suzana said...

Hi Cat, both EL and Lancome deals are good.

For EL perfumes, these are goods - Beautiful (love it - so classic), Pleasures (they have Exotic, Delight and the original version - love all), Intuition and Pure White Linen.

As for Lancome, you can go for Hypnose or Miracle So Magic for the lighter smell. Or if you prefer the stronger smell, you can go for Tresor or Miracle.

Those perfumes are in my collection.

I love perfume so much!!!!
