Do you have any reservations about shopping at these top 10 brick and mortar stores?

Walmart

Target

Best Buy

Costco

Home Depot

Lowe's

Macy's

Kohl's

JCPenney

Nordstrom

Do you also buy from:

Dollar General

Dollar Store

And just because I'm curious, for those of you with kids K to 12, what are you getting the teacher if anything this year?

If you're not getting a gift when did you stop getting a gift for the teacher for your kid to bring in?

Full disclosure: My union contract SPECIFICALLY STATED that teachers could only accept gifts up to $200 in value for that school year.

Best gifts I ever got?

First: NY Mets game vs Yankees in family luxury box!

Second best: 7th row NY Islanders vs Rangers tickets!

Third: $100 gift certificate to Dunkin Donuts (used that one on the class for a "Coffee & Conversation" lesson I do twice a year.

Temu

Amazon

Ebay

Wayfair

Etsy

Ali Express

Somewhere else that's ONLINE ONLY

I always go into this weekend unaffected. But if I see something I can't resist as it is a rare low price (most things are lower a month prior ironically, especially electronics.. yes I went there last month and back for doubles on a couple good items. Amazon) I will indulge regardless of the source.. well almost regardless.

I always use Chewy since before being sold off to petco. Can't beat their occasional deals on specific pet needs.

I helped my local Harbor Freight pay the rent this week and yesterday bought a cool circle firewood holder on Amazon for inside since I am embracing the wood-burning fireplace this year. Lots of family cozy cuddle times coming up. Sometimes Amazon is an ass though. You go back to an item five min layer and it's drastically lower, about $20+ often. I have learned to recheck and cancel/reorder through a number of checks this week.

Personally I think black Friday and cyber Monday are scams. I've already got all the presents I'm going to get. We've a policy with friends and family not to get tied up to much with gift giving. I'm cooking Christmas dinner this year for the in-laws coming over so that's gift enough.

[lightbulb27]

didn't buy from any of those, I went to specialty stores. you and I have different interests... what you valued I wouldn't not have.

Costco... I like the quality of some items... occasionally have some good cookies.

consider this... some of recent shopping...

I’m not doing that I don’t need a wrestling T-shirt half off lol or a discount to the zoo

[PBandJ_Nerd]

I've never done any of the shopping simply because I can't. But I know my parents say that it isn't as exciting as it was years ago.

[Iron_Man]

Because you have to have a job so you can pay for your own things

[PBandJ_Nerd]

@Iron_Man Yeah. Gift money won't help you here. lol Or at least with stuff online.

[Iron_Man]

Get a job soon and then you can have a lot of freedom and do a lot of things

[PBandJ_Nerd]

@Iron_Man It's a work in progress, so I just have to be patient. I have to tell my parents that more than myself though. By next year or maybe a bit before that, I should hopefully have picked something that I'd love to do.

[Iron_Man]

Great would you like to talk about it more?

[PBandJ_Nerd]

@Iron_Man If you want to. I don't mind talking about it.

[Iron_Man]

Ok private message me

[Nikki1989]

I spent over $1,000 online yesterday, so I think that is more than enough.

[Pete671]

No spending at all! these concepts are not designed to benefit the public,,,

[NathanDavis]
