I’m on the hunt for a golf range finder (that only shows yardage for school rules) and and Apple Watch (4) and Air Pods (DD will either get the range finder OR the air pods).
I went to a boot camp outside at 4:45 this morning, have been working for 40 minutes and am DONE Christmas shopping for my kids and DH and my mom when I get those two more things. Woohoo! I’m all over it this year, y’all.

Amazon has some good deals on toys. I picked up two Nerf Captain America shields from Amazon this morning for two of DH's cousin's kids. I was a little disappointed that Amazon had the Nerf gun DS really wanted for $10 less than what I got it for through Walmart (online) on Black Friday.
I'm all done shopping for my kids and DH's cousin's kids. Now I just need to buy gifts for my parents and nieces and nephew.
I'm debating a new TV. Best Buy has a really nice Samsung for $277. My current TV is a 10 year old plasma that has been tweaking out lately and last week the speakers started to get crackly. I feel like I should just grab a good deal today rather than limp this one along and pay more when it does finally die. Knowing my luck, that would be next week.
Target has BOGO 60% off clothes and shoes. Plus there's a coupon code you can stack today. I saved a ton on new boots and snow pants for the kids.
I need to order a couple things to fill in the rest of my secret santa gift for my sister, but otherwise I'm done all my shopping.
I have been watching a universal weight machine at Dick's. Checked it out this morning since everything is 25% off... and they jacked up the price. So the 25% off makes it slightly more than it was yesterday.
I just bought a bunch of Playmobil stuff for my kids on the Target App. Toys are 15% off, so I saved over $20. And every single set at full price was less than on Amazon! I also got a set of Top Wing characters that DS circled in a toy catalog. They were a Deal of the Day so like 1/2 off.
I think I’m done with shopping for the kids. Now to figure out what to buy for DH, who is just impossible to buy for.
Also, my dishwasher burned out overnight. DH fixed one issue, but then something happened to the heating element. It overheated and melted every bit of plastic I had in it - my Nalgene water bottle, plastic plates and cups, real Tupperware bowls... ugh. Even my apple slicer that had hard plastic handles. DH said it probably can't be fixed (and he can fix a lot). It's 5.5 years old, and I'm annoyed.
But, I did get a good deal on a dishwasher that is now sitting in my kitchen. I got a good online price from a local small place, and it was much cheaper than Home Depot or Lowe's. The small place claimed that the web site was wrong, but they honored the price.
Sad that I needed to spend cash on that, but happy that we're fortunate enough to have emergency cash tucked away for stuff like this.

Sorry about your dishwasher, mae0111. Appliances really are not made like they used to be. My parents still have the avocado green fridge (it's now a basement fridge) they got when they got married in 1976. Our fridge is maybe 5 years old and something is wrong with the water line, so we can't get ice made or water dispensed anymore. A plastic piece that holds the top rack of our dishwasher (also about 5 years old) on a roller broke last week, so now we can't pull the top rack out all the way without it popping out of the roller/track. :/ DH and I decided next time we buy appliances, we're buying no-frills appliances that will hopefully last longer.
