When asked I always say, "No, I won't be out on Black Friday." I am not a Black Friday shopper. I just don't get into the craziness of the materialism of Christmas. {I do like to head out the day after Christmas, but not necessarily to buy anything. In years past, I was always buying my next year's Christmas cards the day after...I just don't mail many cards any longer.} Well, folks, never say never!!! We might be out there early Friday morning at our local Menard's to buy an LED TV for our bedroom; just a little 22". After the mail-in merchandise rebate, the TV is only $99.
We would then have $100 to spend at Menard's and we (well, I) have been wanting to replace the kitchen counter. We only have one 6' section, so it shouldn't be all that pricey and we feel confident that we can do this project ourselves. And while we are ripping that out, why not replace the sink, too, right?! I don't need anything fancy, so I should be able to find one relatively cheap. This will put the kitchen right in shape for Operation: Sell This House. Our current counter is a light blue color that matched the previous owners' color scheme, but it sticks out in ours. Replacing the flooring really made the counter stand out (and not in a good way, obviously).
We are going to visit Menard's tomorrow to see what cost we would be looking at for the counter and sink, to see if this makes financial sense. If so, we will be loading up on the caffeine and joining the masses who live for Black Friday...Wish us luck!
I like you have thought...no way, I'm not getting up at 3am to go shopping no matter how good the deal might be!!
ReplyDeleteWell can you say, Eat Those Words?
Walmart is selling a 32" flat screen for $180 & if I can get my hands on 1, I will buy it!!! LOL
So think of me here in SoCal at 3am, up & headin off to my local Walmart on Black Friday, lookin for a GREAT DEAL!
Good Luck to both of us & lets think..Caffine!

Susie ~ A 32" for $180 is certainly a steal! But I wonder how many the store will actually have in stock, ya know?? And then how many people are you going to have to tackle to get your hands on one of the very, very limited few available??!! THAT is what keeps me from getting up for these crazy deals. Also, there is no way I am going early to spend hours & hours in line ... again with no guarantee that I will get what I came for. Definitely wishing you Happy Thanksgiving, lots of shopping luck and plenty of caffeine!!!
