A week of Craziness

Well the last week was busy and crazy and not alot of shopping hence the no new posts!
I tend to avoid the *big* shopping days like the plague as I am not one who enjoys fighting traffic and people... In this case my sanity is worth more than money saved. So I waited until yesterday to venture out a bit and get a few deals. Still lots to buy and alot of stores are only at 50% off still so for me it worked ok, I will check the 50% off stores next week to see if they have gone to 75%.
Also knowing HT is doing Triples this weekend made me wait on some stuff to see what comes out in the ads tomorrow.

Anyway here is what I did yesterday.
