I slept in until 8 am this morning and have no regrets.
I did decide to hit one – and only one – store for Black Friday. Fred Meyer. Here’s why:
So here’s a fun fact about me. I have one favorite kind of sock – Gold Toe athletic socks. They are just perfect, very cozy, and they hold their shape well. So I’ll wear and wear and wear and wear them until well – I think the photo above says it all!
I knew that Fred Meyer would have plenty of socks, so I didn’t even think twice about hitting the sale at 10 am. Sure enough – I found my socks! They are normally $15 for a 3-pack, so with the Black Friday 1/2 sale they were just $7.50. I had carefully saved my Rewards coupon for an additional 20% apparel and accessories (limit 3), so I used that on top of the sale! So I ended up paying $6 per 3-pack ($2 per pair)!
I was also tickled to find they still had the $3.99 throws – and it was well after 10 am! I picked one up and hope to donate it to a local blanket/coat drive.
While in line for checkout, I realized I had another HOT Rewards coupon in my folder – $2 off $2 more of toys! So yes, I got out of line. I’m glad I did. Check out what I found on an endcap:
These were priced $1 each AND Buy one get one free….
Bought 4 for $4
Less $2 for the BOGO sale
Less my $2 Rewards coupon
Bottom line: ALL FREE!!
How awesome is that?! I’m going to use them as stocking stuffers.
OH!! And speaking of Fred Meyer, guess what the UPS guy brought me this morning?
YUP!!! $650 in gift cards that I get the pleasure of mailing to 5 deserving families next week!! I can’t wait to put these puppies in the mail! (And please remember to check out this contest and VOTE if you haven’t already!)
As for me, it’s time to kick back with my new happy feet…
So what was the best deal you’ve snagged today? Or have you just enjoyed kickin’ it back at home with your family and some leftovers?
