Black Friday is soon approaching, and just like you, I enjoy finding the savings online, but, if I’m being honest, I kind of miss the Black Friday’s of the past and here’s
why.
Thanksgiving Day
Thanksgiving Day was a time for spending with your family and friends, and you didn’t leave your warm, toasty, home to get the deal of a lifetime.
Now, if you ate too much, and want to go as a family to find those savings then have at it, other wise, I try my best to stay home. LOL
Turkey Day Newspaper
On Turkey day, I would get up in the wee hours of the morning, put my bird in the oven, and head to the gas station to get the massive newspaper, that was full of
colorful ads, and the anticipation of savings.
My mom and I would circle the items that we wanted to buy, plan out a route, and away we would go with that newspaper guiding the way.
Up At The Crack of Dawn
I can remember getting up at 3:00 in the morning, to go stand in line at the store, freezing my butt off, but as soon as those doors opened, it was time to become a team
and get that Black Friday deal! Whoop! Whoop!
Get That Gift
This was the time you had to dive right in the middle of a swarm of people, and get that gift.
Sure, there were some people who weren’t very nice, but the majority of people were kind, and willing to help others too.
Hiding The Presents
At the end of the shopping day, your mission wasn’t over, you had to bring your gifts into the house and put them in secret spots.
Now, whether my family found these gifts, I will never know, because they always acted surprised on Christmas Day.
The Big Nap
And finally, after all that shopping on Black Friday, I would take a well deserved nap, with a smile on my face, because of all the savings that I got.
Sit And Click
Now, I’m sure that some people reading this think that I’m crazy to miss the Black Friday’s of the past, because today you can buy all those savings online.
In fact, certain websites share weeks in advance, what’s going to be on sale, and you can take advantage of the door-busters savings as you sit and click.
This really is great for those who have to work on the holidays, or can’t physically get around.
Time Well Spent
For as long as I can, I want to spend Black Friday with my mom, and hopefully, my daughter one day.
It doesn’t matter to me how we do it, just as long as we do, because it’s time well spent, which is priceless.
A couple summers ago, I took a beginner’s photography class to learn what all those little symbols were on my digital camera.
At the very first class the instructor told us to buy a book called, “The Digital Photography Book” by Scott Kelby!
(This is now available in a 5 part boxed set)
He knew that we were going to probably forget half of what half of what he said, and needed a go-to guide once we left his class.
Mr. Scott Kelby is the president of KelbyOne and Editor-in-Chief of Photoshop User magazine.
He also serves as training director for the Adobe Photoshop Seminar Tour and is the technical chair of the largest Photoshop gathering in the industry, Photoshop World. (Just giving him some props as to why my instructor chose this book). 🙂
Speaking of textbooks, you can rent, buy new or used textbooks on Amazon.
It’s super easy to do, and the sooner you start the better, because these books go quickly. Click on the box below to see how this program works.
(This program really helped us save, I had to get my daughter a graphing calculator, and Amazon’s $88 price and FREE 2 day shipping couldn’t be beat! Cha-Ching!)
By the way, your student can get a $10 credit every time they invite their friends to sign up with their referral link, which can really help out with the cost of textbooks, tablets, or cell phone data charges. 🙂
You know our kids….their the best marketers around with that phone that NEVER leaves their side. They might as well get paid for it. LOL
Just so ya know that some of the links above are my referral links, which means I may get a small commission if you make a purchase, at no additional cost to you of course. Thank you for your support!!

Another great place to find bridal or themed jewelry is Ebay & Amazon.
For instance, this Triple Row Tiara is only $35, and if you’re looking for gift ideas for the bridesmaids or groomsmen to wear this is a super stop to shop.
This silver glitter clutch is simply stunning with all its bling, and cute bow closure on the top. It’s available at the bridal page at Amazon.com, along with bride to be, bachelor or bachelorette party, and day of wedding gift ideas that will surely make your day special for a fraction of the price.
These are just a few places that are worth checking out for your wedding day jewelry & accessories, not only for the beauty and design, but more importantly the super prices. I also like how each place gives you themed visual blueprint, with style tips to help you with all the details.
