And just roll back and forth. The item to coupon ratio is perfect. It will be $0.20 plus tax for each transaction. Each transaction is a $3.25 MM!

Thanksgiving Weekend Deals!

I am a huge fan of Thanksgiving weekend shopping. I'm one of the crazies that gets up before the sun on Black Friday in order to get some real bargains. Aside from the bargains, Black Friday is a lot of fun for me. I love to watch the people get crazy over a Barbie doll or a pair of slippers. I never venture out on Black Friday alone. I've been out with my brother, my mom, my mother in law, my sister in law and even my sweet husband. I once even brought my oldest son with me when he was a baby. :) Now I make sure to have a babysitter because 3 kids in Walmart or the mall on a regular day is bad enough but on Black Friday? NOOO way.

The past few years I have also added Thanksgiving Day shopping to my busy day. You see, I host Thanksgiving and cook an enormous meal complete with at least 6 types of dessert. This is how it works. Wednesday I do a LOT of prepping. I do everything I can to get ready in advance. I make pies and salads and casseroles and bread doughs. On Thanksgiving I get up and make a nice breakfast and get the turkey started. Then I have a few hours for shopping. I leave my husband at home with the kids and a list of things to do like setting the table and watching the turkey. Then again in the evening after the meal has been consumed, cleaned up and put away and everyone has lain around with full bellies, I go back out to do more shopping. Perhaps I have a problem? I don't really care. ;)

So I thought I would share some of my plans for this holiday weekend with you. You may not be as crazy as I am but surely you will glean a few good deals from the next few blog posts. :)
