Forgive me for not cutting this, I'm trying to save people money here.

Alright, I'm late in the day posting this, but for those of you who prefer online shopping to braving the Black Friday crowds, here are a few helpful leads for you.

www.blackfridayonline.com

It tells you what online deals are being offered by what retailers for Black Friday. So far, I've made three decent-sized purchases off of information I found there.

Also! If you've been around my LJ for awhile, you may remember me bringing this up before. If you're going to be shopping online, visit www.igive.com and have your purchases count towards a donation to the charity of your choice at the same. I love igive.com. In the ~5 years I've been shopping through that portal, I've raised over $90 for my charity, just buying things I would have bought anyway. I don't pay any more than I would going to retailer sites directly, a donation is going to my charity, and I get a tax deduction for it! Sounds like a win-win deal to me. I've gone into greater detail about igive.com here: http://mugglechump.livejournal.com/tag/igive.com so check it out and make your purchases count towards more than your credit card debt.

Happy shopping!

Well, I'm back from Delaware. The tournament did not go especially well for us, but Mer played well. I have photographic evidence that I'll get around to posting eventually.

Before heading home, Mer and I stopped by the mall and took slight advantage of Delaware's lack of sales tax on clothing. I didn't get to Christmas shop since she was with me, but we did pick her up a couple pairs of jeans so I will stop hearing that she only has three pairs. Now I suppose I'll hear that she 'only' has five.

For now, I'm catching up on the flist and email. I'm off work tomorrow so I can take my mom to her appointment. I'm hoping that doesn't take too awfully long. I could use a little rest time.

How was everyone's weekend?

ETA: I didn't mention that this tournament was a college showcase, rather than a regular competition. There were over 50 scouts there. Mer's coach just called. One of the scouts contacted her and is apparently very interested in Mer! She's so excited! So am I, actually. So YAY!
