November 29th, 2007 - Black Friday purchases
I should have written this last week, but I forgot about it. I did indeed go out shopping on Black Friday.
At PJ’s Patch, which is closing and had 70% off everything (unfortunately, I forgot my key tag which would have given me an additional 20% off), I spent about $25 for
- a set of wooden doll house furniture ($6). Don’t know if Maggie will ever have a doll house, but the furniture can be used without one of course. Or maybe she’ll make her own out of shoe boxes like I did as a kid. It includes beds, chairs, sofa, vanities (one with a mirror), end tables, and dressers. At least 20 pieces, maybe more. A wonderful future birthday or Christmas gift!
- a new Melissa and Doug Egyptian floor puzzle. I think this was about $3 but it looked so neat. And brand new. Another future gift.
- two skorts for next summer, two dresses for this winter and next (one is corduroy), some shirts and some pants. And a green short sleeved shirt for me.
I could find any of my consigned items so it looks like they all sold. Probably won’t make much money, but even a little bit will help. I wish I’d remembered to go yesterday–the final day–but oh well.
I also returned things at two stores, bought peanut butter, and spent $26 on three Gamma Seal Lids for the 5 gallon buckets for wheat berries and sauerkraut (or other things I might make with the third bucket next summer). And found some things at St. Vincent’s for $6–some wool items for felting, cool orange gloves for Maggie’s stocking, two pairs of mittens for Maggie (she had no kid ones that we could find! she loves to wear my magic gloves, but they aren’t quite appropriate for playing at preschool!), and a green sweater for me.
