Black Friday has turned into Black Weekend. I love it! I made out like a bandit. Luckily, this year it feel at the end of the month, which was payday for me, so I could afford to go out and find some great deals. Another really good part for me was it was my birthday month, so I had coupons from stores to add.
My first, and most favorite, purchase was the new iPad Air. I have been wanting an iPad for months, and I knew that Black Friday was the day I was going to make my dreams come true. Getting up at 4:20 A.M. to be at the Navy Exchange by 5:00 A.M. wasn't as bad as I had feared. The adrenaline was what helped. The whole shopping experience was very calm and very organized. I bought the iPad for $449; since it was at the NEX, I didn't have to pay tax on it. A Belkin case from Best Buy completed the happiness.
After much needed sleep, I went to the mall the following day. I had a gift card for Macy's, so I loaded up on sweaters that were 50% off! Yeah! I also found the perfect pair of black jeans.
After searching and trying different shampoos, I have found the best for my hair: Aveda. Pricey, but so worth it. My hair now always looks great with these products. While at the Aveda store, I picked up the Brilliant shampoo and conditioner, hand relief lotion (amazingly good), and a hair brush. I'm one happy girl with these.
My shopping extravaganza was complete with a trip to Old Navy. With a 40% off storewide sale, I was in Heaven. It was wonderful. Needless to say I have all the clothes I need for the winter. Well, maybe another pair of warm pants.
I don't always go this crazy while shopping, but I found some great deals. Sometimes buying the right things can really make you feel great. Until you check your bank account.
