My Thanksgiving and My Favorite Black Friday Deals


Thanksgiving Day was great! I started my day off with a Turkey Trot and then went home to finish up my cooking. We ate about 2:00 p.m. and the food was great. We had turkey, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, vegetables, rolls and sparkling apple cider. We also had smoked turkey breast from Honeybaked since my daughter loves it and insisted on it. Grandma made her famous Harvey Wallbanger cake for dessert which is to die for!

 
My dogs were upset that they were not included in the Thanksgiving feast but they did have their own little Thanksgiving doggy feast. The remainder of the evening was spent reading through the Black Friday ads and planning out our shopping for the next day. We headed out the door at 5:00 a.m. for Black Friday shopping and the stores were dead. I guess everyone started their shopping on Thanksgiving Day which I vowed not to do.

I actually did most of my shopping online since most stores offered some great deals before Black Friday. Most of my shopping is done and I have very few people left to buy for. I won’t bore you with everything that I bought but I think that this is the best deal that I scored on Black Friday. 
The tumbler offered at $10.00 off the regular price of $75.00 on Black Friday and since I have a Target REDCard, I got another 5% off the price! DEAL! The Espresso Refill Tumbler grants me one free grande espresso drink of my choice with all of the extras every day in January, 2014. This is a great deal for me even though I know that I will not go every single day in January.
Oh and the cutest Black Friday deal that I scored was these red sweaters for my little fur family. They were not impressed with the deal but they sure looked cute in them! 

How was your Thanksgiving?

Did anyone else invest in the Starbucks Espresso Refill Tumbler?

    1. The pooches were not happy about the sweaters but they like to sleep under their blankets so I know that they are cold. The tumbler is pretty much sold out at all Starbucks so I guess a lot of other people fell for the deal like I did.

    1. The stores were empty when I finally made it to the stores at 5am on Friday morning. I guess the new thing is shopping on Thanksgiving Day. I am usually too pooped out from cooking that I don't have enough energy left to do anything other than the clean up!

    1. Thank You! Yes we had a great Thanksgiving but the most tiring part was the shopping that took place the next day. I am sure you had a blast buying more shoes since you are the Shoe Queen :)

  5. Hey – great blog, just looking around some blogs, seems a really nice platform you are using. I’m currently using WordPress for a few of my blogs but looking to change one of them over to a platform similar to yours as a trial run. Anything in particular you would recommend about it?
