Have I Mentioned.....

how busy life has been? I keep saying I'm going to get back here more and more, and I just keep drifting! No more! I will be updating on the deals, the shopping and sharing pictures more and more as Christmas gets closer!

SO, let's just into it headfirst!

Since we last spoke, I've gotten older(BOO!!!) and black friday has come and gone. I have to say even though there were some awesome deals to be had, I only shopped on Thanksgiving Morning at CVS and Rite Aid.

One sentence sums it up:

IT WAS AWESOME!

I took a friend with me who's never done that kind of shopping and I have to say I think it was a total success, we stopped to pick up her children breakfast at our local Bojangles and she looked at me as we were told the total and said,
"Oh my god! That's almost as much as I spent at Rite Aid!!!!"
Can we say addicted?

So now the fun part, sharing what I got!!!!
