A Stress Free Black Friday Sale

Hubby and I usually start our christmas gifts shopping on Black Friday or the after Thanksgiving sale. We never miss this event for 3 years in a row. Imagine the cold weather outside since it falls on the 4th Thursday of November. We will wake up as early as 4am and join a massive people awaiting the door to open for the store's huge sale. Some people even sleep outside the store just to avail a limited item on sale. It is indeed a much anticipated day here in the United States.

However, this year we'll be doing our black friday shopping in a different way. I found out a great website which offers a lot of thanksgiving deals. What a relief that we don't need to wake up early anymore to shop. I just signed up my email address and I can receive an email alert about the Black Friday 2008 ads even before it hits the Thanksgiving Day newspaper. What's even more exciting about this is I can purchase an item online on stores such as Toy R' US, Meijer, Old Navy, Walmart, Target and Best Buy. A Total hassle free shopping.

We tend to be a compulsive buyer when we go out during the after thanksgiving sale. This website will absolutely saves us a lot of money for the next holiday.

Outlet Shopping

We went to Edinburg Premium Outlet last Saturday with Tata & Nicole ( hubby's auntie & niece).
It was their first major shopping here in the US.

As mentioned from my previous post, I wanted to buy my kulit bulilit a pair of crocs slippers.
I was so happy when I saw the Crocs store, unfortunately there was no available size for the little boy.
Instead, we ended up buying a Nike rubber shoes for him.

Lebron James Nike Rubber Shoes

For mommy naman, I was able to find a pair of comfy flat shoes at Nine West.
I have been looking for a flat shoes I can wear every time we go out.
I don't want to wear rubber shoes since it's Spring na.


We were there from 11am-5pm. Imagine there are 85 outlet stores!
Tata was able to buy all the "pasalubong" at a cheap price, most of them branded pa.
She'll bring more money daw when she comes back here in the US...funny!hehe.

Crocs or Havaianas?

It's already spring and I would like to buy my kulit bulilit a pair of slippers.
However, I'm torn between Crocs & Havaianas.
I saw this cute crocs slippers at FinishLine when we were at the mall a few weeks ago.
It's quite expensive though for a toddler's slippers.



Then, just last week I came across with this Havaianas slippers while surfing the internet.
Cuteness again! haaay.
A little bit cheaper than Crocs ( plus points! hehe).



I still have a few days to decide what to buy. We'll probably go to the mall this weekend.
So, what do you think? Crocs or Havainas?
Mommy, think think think!

Saturday weekend

We went to Babies R' US yesterday and bought the Chicco Capri Stroller ( Alaska Red) for Jeremy.
Since I already visited their website, it didn't take us long to decide what stroller to buy.
As posted in my previous blog, I like the Maclaren stroller but when hubby saw it, aside from the price he didn't like the quality daw.
Ok fine, you're the financier...hehe.


Aside for the stroller, we checked out also the baby registry of our good friend Maita & Windell.
Their baby shower will be on May pa but we decided to buy our gift since we're already there.
Hubby wanted to give something that the baby will use for quite a long time.
We chose the Philips AVENT Newborn Feeding Essentials.
I know that the mommy-to-be will be happy to receive this.
As a mom, I'm a big fan of Avent products.

Next we went to Oxmoor Mall to use our Macy's gift card.
It's hubby's gift card talaga, got from his visa rewards.
He told me to buy anything I want from the gift card.
Since I don't need to buy anything for myself, I decided to buy him his Issey Miyake perfume.
I've been insisting him to buy his perfume ( sinisimot nya na lng ung perfume nya eh, hehe).
Thank God for the Macy's gift card!

Our Oxmoor Mall trip will not be complete without going to Disney Store.
We're still a little bit far from the store but you can hear the little boy saying "Mickey, Mickey".
As usual he was so excited when he saw the disney characters at the store.
My son is a big fan of Disney Cars & Toy Story( 1 & 2).
Since he has a lot of Disney Cars stuff, we bought him the buzz lightyear & woody action figure toy this time.
Good thing though it was on sale. We won't buy if it's not on sale.
When we got home, he insisted to open the box immediately.
Of course while playing with Buzz & Woody he was watching Toys Story.
I was thinking nga of writing Jeremy's name at the bottom of buzz & woody's shoes...gaya-gaya sa movie...hehe.

Lastly, at exactly 8pm last night, we turned off all our lights.
We participated on the Earth's hour yesterday.


We're aware of the global issue that we're facing right now that's why we participated in this big event and we're proud we did.
