The last couple of years I have found that good sales start by Veteran's Day. My shopping is done other than some candy/stickers, etc. (small stuff) to add to a few gift bags for kiddos. I also need to pick up a gift certificate. I have found some good sales this whole month, so I've picked up a few things for myself and the mr., and a few household items. No shopping today, but I did get an email from a favorite store yesterday and ordered a "shacket" (shirt jacket) for myself.

I bought a few things on Wednesday - deeply discounted so no need to wait until Friday. A robe, down jacket and some sleeveless turtlenecks - all online. We'll see if I keep any of it.

I am trying to up my skin care game so I bought two kits from Caroline Hiron. Anyone follow her or read her book? https://shopfloor.carolinehirons.com/

I also got a couple of Macys charter club down comforters for the murphy beds we are having put in next week. Now I need to find sheets. The comforters were at a pretty low price but I can't swear they are the lowest I have ever seen https://www.macys.com/shop/product/charter-club-white-down-lightweight-comforters-created-for-macys?ID=3145282&CategoryID=78458

Shopping for an air fryer for DD right now!

We spent the day getting all the outdoor Christmas lights/decor out … I’m so tired I can barely type. 🥴

I bought an Apple TV 4K online and got a $50 gift card for Apple purchases. I needed another one anyway and will use the credit in the near future. I just became a cord-cutter and needed another streaming device for my stable of TVs.

Thanks Bunny, I've been meaning to upgrade my airpods to noise cancelling, the gift card was a nice bonus!

Soft Surroundings Outlet is selling all tops and bottoms for 19.00. Many were originally over one hundred. My daughter bought six sweaters and four tops.

Chewy - the canned dog food I buy to mix with their dry is 35% off. Limit 6. I bought 6. It's like getting 2 cases free.

Me again! It was raining today, so we were stuck inside … I’ve been getting ideas for gifts. This showed up on my IG and I’m getting it for myself. We have tile counters in the kitchen and any dry spill is hard to wipe up. Plus, how cute is it?

These are cute, too:

I can’t vouch for them yet, but thought I’d share. They have some unique things.

Also, Etsy is having big sales, too, and I like that they showed me things on sale I’ve searched for recently but didn’t buy.

I did all my black friday shopping online.. Free People, Athleta, Nuts.com, The big A, Thermoworks, Sur la Table and Williams-Sonoma. Along with the shopping I did earlier, I am more than 1/2 done. I also went out locally for Small Business Saturday.

For anyone shopping today, Athleta's sales were better today than yesterday!

Jinx.. I have 2 lucky sisters getting le creuset dutch ovens this year. I splurged because each of them has taken over the holiday cooking now that my dad is no longer with us. He always made grand meals and they have done every bit as well! They also have growing families so i think the 8 qt that is on sale everywhere is the perfect size.

My only questions is if i should get the copper knob for the lighter color (sea salt). I have the round version in the same color and I think i like the silver.

Those will be such wonderful gifts, Funky! You’re a great sister. :)

Love the blues!

My go-to for the Grandkids clothing is Kohl's. Relatively inexpensive... okay cheap... but we have one locally and they can exchange them for something else if they don't like it.

Jinx, Holistic Habitat is new to me! Loving it, thank you! YaYa, same with Soft Surroundings...thanks for sending me there!

Funky, I see a dinner invitation in your future, such a sweet gesture—such a great gift!

pudge, Kohls is also off my radar...it looks like Sephora is there too. Who knew?

Boop, no shipping to USA. I'll have to remember that brand the next time I'm in the UK.

Thanks everyone! Let's see what Cyber Monday brings!

My arthritis in my fingers is getting worse (one finger felt broken the other week), and I was happy to see that the CBD cream a friend recommended is on BF sale this weekend at CBDNorth. Getting older is interesting lol.

I bought a pair of Sheertex tights for myself, even on sale they seem crazy expensive to me, but if they last as long as they're supposed to, it will be a good deal.

Altitude Sports in Montreal had a good sale on Breton shirts from Armor Lux, so I got several for the family.

I'm also considering these socks for the whole family,

https://www.thenordicsocks.com/

since there are five pairs in each set, and if you buy two sets, you get two free for their "Black Weekend". They're in the US, but shipping to Canada is only a flat $7 US per order. I have a feeling our household gathering restrictions will remain through Christmas, so I like the idea of something cozy for everyone in their own homes : ) .

gardener123wewantsophie - they definitely ship to the US. I ordered two kits.

Jinx - Thanks for the headsup on the William-Sonoma Le Creuset sale. looking at a dutch oven for my new SIL who is quite the cook. Great price.

@beckysharp Reinstate SW Unconditionally . I am considering the nordic socks also, but I am undecided between the classic and the mountain collection. Any guidance is appreciated.

WS didn't have the Le Creuset size and color I needed but I did find good deals in the Le Creuset website. I purchased a $350 dutch oven for $210. When you spend $200 and enter the code MERRY you get a free $40 cookie sheet and a $10 spatula too.

@happy2b…gw I haven't ordered from them before, so I don't know how thick the "Mountain Collection" socks are, and I'm thinking the thinner "Classic Collection" socks might get more wearings, esp in fall and early spring.

I just love Etsy.

Just ordered these wooden bell ornaments (but I’ll keep some out all year). Set of 12 at 20% off and free shipping … $19.99. I ordered two more sets for loved ones.

Lenox is also having a great sale right now. I’m looking at ’baby’s first Christmas’ ornaments for my great-nephew and the prices are very reasonable.
