All in all, I did very well. I refuse to get involved in Walmart/Target fiascos so I'm sure that helped.
Hit: $15 jeans at Old Navy
Miss: Silly me didn't realize they were giving wrist bands for the free camera package so I missed out on that deal.
Kohls:
Hit: Did most of my shopping there online since some wonderful DISer shared a code for 20% off. I got everything I wanted plus another 20% off that I wouldn't have gotten in the store, free shipping and$30 in Kohls bucks. SCORE!
Miss: None
Home Depot:
Hit: Martha Stewart Christmas Tree originally $250--on sale $200;.99 cent poinsettias--got 5 of them.
Miss: Went to check out the tree that was on sale for $49 hoping I'd like it, but I didn't.
Walgreens:
Hit: 3 $10 itunes cards with free $10 Walgreens gift card; batteries: On sale for $3.99--buy 1 get 2 free.
Miss: none
Staples: This was the major thing I wanted for DD. Store opened at 6--I got there around 5:40 and there was a line already formed although not huge. Got out of the car just in time to get my ticket then went back into my warm car to wait until 6.
Hit: Strolled in, was first in line to get my Nook Color ($199) with free $25 gift card and was back out in 5 minutes.
Miss: None although I have to do something online for my gift card.
BJ's: Wasn't planning on going here, but drove by just as they were opening so walked in with the crowd.
Hit: Sansui 32" LCD for $199. We needed a TV for our bedroom and were looking for something a little smaller than that, but at that price I thought I'd sacrifice.
Miss: So exhausted by this time, didn't get a chance to look around at anything else.
DS went out at midnight with his buddy to Best Buy. He was trying for the 24" TV for $79--no dice. He did score a Sony Blu-Ray player--forget how much he paid though--and got a couple of movies cheap.
So...hit: Blu-Ray player and movies
Miss: TV
So I'm pretty happy with the deals I got. Now to go balance the checkbook.....
