Well, all three children “slept in” until 7 a.m. on Friday. Woo hoo! I ended up saving a lot of money on Black Friday because by the time I got to the local Wal-mart, almost everything on my list was gone. This is a good thing, because the things on my list were not necessities. I did score a few good deals, and we were able to get several strings of LED Christmas lights at Lowes. My hubby is a Christmas lighting junkie, and I’ll be thrilled to save on my power bill. Even better- my electric company is offering rebates on your power bill with the switch to LED Christmas lights.

Bringing all three kids is also a good way to save money. They don’t have much patience for browsing!
