You did well. I didn't do any shopping at all, so I am left with what I started with.

Thanks for mentioning Mpix. I'll try to remember them next year when I make calendars. Ordered from Snapfish this year. They had a buy 1 get 2 free deal last month so I made one wall calendar and 2 desktop. There were issues; they remade the order free of charge. Still not right. When I complained they refunded all my money. So now I have 6 calendars. What a joke!

This is an example of their lack of quality control.

That's a shame, CindyMac. I've never used Snapfish, but I've seen products ordered by others and I was unimpressed with the quality of the photos. Mpix does my cards every year, and many of my prints when they have a sale. I have a sophisticated photo printer that I use now and then, but the ink is expensive and I do a lot of printing. Adoramapix is my favorite for photo books. Gorgeous quality, printed on photo paper.

And Adoramapix offers the desktop calendar style dh loves. Thank you so much!!! I've bookmarked both sites for next year.

1) DH lost his watch, replaced it w/ the exact one. Reg $140, sale + coupon codes @ Kohl's online $69.70.

2) Used the Kohl's cash $15 earned on the watch purchase to buy DH a RFID Columbia leather wallet reg. $32, paid $17.

None. I have ordered some things recently but none for black Friday. I ordered a gift for the lady we stayed with. I ordered myself a pressure cooker. I have been very careful about spending and we aren't doing Christmas this year. We have to save for a house.

I just ordered the Ancestry DNA kit for someone who's been wanting to do this. On sale for $59 (+ shipping = $68.95) until tomorrow.

We bought my mil a new Kindle that was at BestBuy for $30. She was visiting and her Kindle went on the blink while she was here. I bought my dd a Kendra Scott necklace that was 20% off and free shipping. Bought a few items at Bath and Body Works, mainly with coupons.

I bought a new 8 inch Kindle at Best Buy for myself. I don't do any other Christmas shopping.

Did some clothes shopping for Kali at Gap Kids,50% off everything!

I have saved a bundle on Black Friday and will save on Cyber Monday. I can't find a single item I "need" or want. So, I've saved all my money. ;)

I rarely see anything priced well enough for me to buy. In my opinion most sales on Black Friday bring things down to what I believe the original prices should be. I bought some hippy stuff I like (perfumes and such) but it was only 15% off.

I also bought a language learning program that usually costs a couple hundred dollars for $97. But that's it. :)

I purchased a Garmin Nuvi 2589LMT navigation system($95/new). I lost my 18k thumb ring raking leaves....so I purchased a cheap one from Ebay/China, .33cents. Rabbitgoo/frosted window tinting($8x3). A 9"x5" MOP/Egyptian inlaid decorative box($26+ shipping).

Instant Pot Duo Plus 9 in 1 for $89.99 reg $149. Delivered on Sunday by Canada Post

I thought about the Instant Pot today. Amazon had some great deals. But I went for a heated mattress pad instead. I had one in the past and loved it. I snuck in one more Cyber Monday purchase just now (it's 11:55 p.m. here) and bought one from JC Penney. Whew! I can go to bed now.

I’m with Debby. I went thru all the Amazon sales and I don’t need a thing. Saved a lot!

I did see amazing sales with Kohl’s. They mailed & emailed me some coupons. I do like to shop there but I don’t need anything.

Fun, that's perfect! It certainly would explain the crowd too. Thank you!

Notice how slim everyone was in 1934. A 2017 crowd would likely look quite different.

Great deals at jcpenney.com - I spent $282 and saved $802! One of the best deals was on bedsheets. I got $140 queen sets for under $30!!

Several of you mentioned JCP. When they opened they gave away coupons, $500 off $500, $100 off $100 & $10 off $10. My DH's coworker went throught the line THREE times....lol.....and got a $100 off coupon!!!! He was so excited he took a selfie with the coupon. :0) funny guy...

1. I don't really need much but I was on Burlington website and just had to have the "embellished classic clutch" for only $12. Black background with some red and green flowers. Comes with both a chain or black corded shoulder strap or unhook them and use as a clutch . Love the color!. I can't backspace to get that one off for some reason.

Dh bought some things for the kids. I probably just need to get some stocking stuffers and a few things for him. I personally don't have patience for the deals anymore. Everyone wants electronics. DH bought everything I suggested. I have some coupons for some other stores that start next week. I will go when the kidlets are in class.

I just remembered I did get a deal yesterday. Raising Cane's had a buy 1 get 1 free 4 piece box combo deal if you had their card. We have three people in the family with cards so we bought three meals and got three free. I didn't have to cook last night which was fine since I had three kids getting picked up at three different times after school.

Alisande, I thought about the lack of overweight people, too, and the relative formality of their clothing.

I bought a 6 qt Instant Pot on Amazon for DD at a good price and a couple of flannel shirts for DH at Eddie Bauer. He likes slim fit tall. But EB notified me today one of the shirts is sold out! How could that be they let me buy it yesterday and now tell me it’s not available? I was not happy about that, especially since they were 50% off yesterday only. And of course it was the one I really wanted in his fave school colors.

I also got the hiking poles for DGD with a $20 gift card to use later. So I’m saving it for another purchase. Also picked up a few other odds and ends for stocking stuffers or dirty Santa gifts.

It's frustrating when you think you've bought something only to find out it's not available.

I was less than thrilled last night when I made out my order for a heated mattress pad from K-Mart and then they informed me that not only was the advertised free shipping unavailable, but no shipping was available. So I said I'd pick it up at my local K-Mart, but that wasn't available either. They said I'd have to pick it up at a K-Mart about 50 miles away. So I canceled the order and bought the same one from JC Penney for just $2 more (with free shipping).

I did not shop anywhere or buy a thing :)

Two packs of dry earase markers. One for when the relatives come over on Christmas to play Telestrations (really fun game, especially with people that can't draw). The other for my daughter's entomology classroom. She said her professor never finds one that works. Like we are not paying enough for Colllege.

Iris, I'm always on the lookout for good games. I'll have to read up on that one. Although several of the friends I play games with are artists. :-)

I look, but don't buy anything unless it is on my list. I end up regretting impulse purchases.
