MomDot Blog Party Day 8- Black Friday

Do you shop on Black Friday?  What time do you start?  Do you finish all your shopping on that day?  What’s the best deal you have found?  What’s your shopping strategy?

No, normally I don’t touch black Friday.  I hate getting up early, I hate crowded stores and long lines.  Black Friday is definitely not my style.  HOWEVER, this year is different.   I go to bed and wake up earlier than ever before… so waking a couple hours earlier won’t kill me.  I want the sales bad enough this year.  I will probably hit up Toys R Us first then head to Target.  I’m not sure what the deals are those days yet, but I’m definitely going for it.  

I doubt I will finish all my shopping on that day but who knows?  Best deal?  Wouldn’t know since this will be my first year getting up early.  

Shopping Strategy?  Get up when Toys R Us opens.  

Day Eight Blog Party Question is Brought to you by Koshas, Leapfrog and Soda Club.

A Super Cause & Contest

My friend Brandi, who has guest hosted here, has:

1. an incredible contest opportunity.

but more importantly

2. a great opportunity for giving.

It is for this pastor’s family’s adoption.

 

Read on her blog why you giving would be a blessing. I have met these people briefly myself and they really have such servant hearts. When we were considering joining their church during our time in Orlando we found John to be a pastor that truly cares about promoting Jesus, not himself. He served coffee himself once a week outside the front of the busy road the church sat on. He gets down with the audiance and lets them ask questions. He was more than willing to point us in the direction of other churches to try. He is humble and has a heart after God.

The prizes include:

Prize #1: TIFFANY & CO. SILVER NECKLACE (Return to Tiffany, Oval Tag)
*used but polished and comes with tiffany box complete white bow
Prize #2: Pampered Chef Basket full of fun and useful kitchen tools
Prize #3: A Goodie Bag of Professional Beauty Supplies (donated by Friends Beauty Supply)
Prize #4: Sea World Tickets for 2
Prize #5: TimeWise® Microdermabrasion Set from Mary Kay
Prize #6: A new blog header and background by Whitney R.
*the girl who just redesigned mine

* For every $5
