After spending a wonderful day with family on Thursday and then battling our way through some very dicey snow conditions to GF's house we determined that depending on the morning's weather conditions we would continue on with our annual Black Friday shopping plan. As we have for the last seven years, GF and I are going halves on gift buying for family. We have set a budget for both this and for each other. We checked sale ads and made our plan. We have an awesome outlet mall not far from GF's house and past experience told us there would be deep discounts to be had there. The weather was sunny in the morning so College age daughter and her GF joined us. As I anticipated I purchased GF two nice shirts, New khakis, and a sweater from the Haggar outlet at 70% off. He saw nothing. Lol. We also managed to buy several gifts for family members all at awesome sale prices. Our second stop was Kohl's where we used a 15% off coupon and sale prices to get a couple more items. I also used this price saving combo to pick up two long sleeved t-shirts for work for under $20.
A nice amount of gifts bought and all well within our budget.
Awesome that you were able to take advantage of those promotions. Hopefully the crowds behaved themselves.
