Shopping from home last Christmas. I think I’ll do it again!

I have always loved the day after Thanksgiving — for the leftovers and the great deals to be had. In years’ past I’ve often hit the stores on Black Friday without a clue as to where I was going or what I was getting. Thankfully, with the wrinkles and age spots, I’ve also gained a little shopping savvy. The world wide web is your place for a head’s up on Black Friday Deals!

Here’s what I can see from where I stand:

**Amazon started their Black Friday sales yesterday. Browse their specials and perhaps you’ll be able to cross a few gifts off your list. (And if you’ve been using Swagbucks, you can trade your points in for Amazon gift cards.)

**ShopAtHome.com also began some fun things yesterday.

  • Follow them on twitter and your retweets can earn you some great prizes, including a $100 Home Depot Card.
  • More than 100 of their featured retailers are offering DOUBLE cash back this holiday weekend, including 20% cash back from The Gap, 20% back from SnapFish, and 14% back from Barnes&Noble. With a few clicks of a mouse, you save time, gas, sore feet, and some cash!

**Check out the huge catalog of Black Friday Deals at AFullCup! Thanks to their CVS sneak peek, one FishBoy is pretty happy to be scoring a very inexpensive MP3 player this week with his birthday money.

** Ebates is also offering double cash back at select stores, like 15% at Shutterfly and 10% at Old Navy.

    Hi Jessica! I plan on doing this for Christmas this year. We live about an hour away from any good shopping (even Target!) and with 2 little ones under 3, I am not about to go on a marathon shopping trip. 😉 Plus, I have SwagBucks to use and recently signed up for Ebates (why had I not heard about them sooner?!?! 🙂 ) so I am all set! I don't have lots of people to shop for, but saving money on any of my Christmas shopping is better than nothing. Thanks for the tips you listed!

    Happy Thanksgiving!

    I'm with you. I went out last year for the first time ever and it was not fun. Traffic and lines are not my idea of a good time. I've already bought lots of gifts on Amazon and Vision Forum.

    Don't get me wrong… I loooovvve to shop — with a full wallet and no kids! Online and quiet after bedtime is often so much easier, though.

Thanks so much for participating in this conversation about "a mom's life."

This is a place where moms can be themselves. Remember that each mother's path looks a little different. Please keep your comments respectful and kind. Reasonable minds will disagree in a nice way.

So let's talk about it, using "our big girl words."
