Black Friday Shopping!

On Thanksgiving morning we lined up at Big Lots to purchase a sofa with chaise lounge for $399! We are going to put it in our loft area which will be our baby's play area in the future. :)  I unfortunately had to work on Thanksgiving day, but my awesome husband brought home leftovers for me from Thanksgiving dinner at Mom and Dad Podzius' home. That night, Jim picked me up from work and from there we went straight to Toys R Us to line up for Black Friday shopping! I love the excitement of shopping that day. :) And I love that Laura, my sis in law, shares my excitement for shopping that day! It's starting to become a tradition for us to go Black Friday shopping together! The doors opened at 9pm and we got what we came for! Up to a 96-pack of diapers for $10! We are starting to stock up on all things for baby now, while they are cheap! The plan was to go home, sleep a few hours and get back in line for the Babies R Us doorbuster sale starting at 5am, but we overslept :( We didn't end up getting to Babies R Us until 5am and the item I really wanted (432-ct wipes for $5) were already sold out! But the amazing deal on our dream crib and changing table was still available! I've wanted to purchase the Graco Lauren Classic Crib  ever since we found out we were pregnant. So happy that it was 50% off! Usually it sells for $179 plus the changing table which is $99 (still a great deal normally), but Babies R Us was selling them together for $148 total! Ahhh. Feeling so blessed for snagging such a great deal! The high chair that was advertised was also sold out by 5am too (which is when the deals were technically supposed to start, but you know Black Friday shoppers and the crazy early times they line up to get the deals hehe), so I bummed that it was sold out. BUT when we got home, they were stil available for purchase online with the advertised price! Unfortunately there was a shipping and handling fee, but still cheaper all together than what it would've been full price and we love the high chair - Fish Price Space Saver in the tan swirl print - very neutral. :) We also were able to purchase a great flat screen tv from Wal-Mart AND beat the crowds! They had the same awesome deal online! We also went to Old Navy and got great winter clothes for our niece and nephew. :) This is the first Christmas that I'll actually have money to shop for gifts since this is my first year with a real full-time job! Feeling blessed that I'm able to shower the people I love with gifts this Christmas season.

LOVE OUR BLACK FRIDAY BABY FINDS!!! :)
