$1500 Savings From Black Friday Walmart Sale

I really enjoyed doing the Black Friday Walmart Experience guest post.. and since I really love anything about sale, savings and discounts, I decided to share more Black Friday Experience from our fellow bloggers.

Here’s what Go Momma Coupons has to say:

When you first heard of Black Friday at Walmart, what was your initial reaction?
Walmart is a HEADACHE!! Probably my least favorite store. I don’t understand why then have so many checkout lanes with only 3 open and 10 people in each line.

Did you plan what you are going to buy for the Black Friday?
Yes, I have a spreadsheet with what I want and the prices for each store. I am filling on my 2011 shopping trip now

Can you share with us what is on you list last year?
Blu Ray player, 50 inch 3D TV, Nintendo DS, Keurig, Panini maker, Shark Pro Steam

On the day itself, what time did you went to Walmart?
I got to Walmart at 6. 2 hours after it opened so the crazy rush was over 🙂

Can you account your experience from the time you arrived until you got your purchase?
The store was empty it was not as bad as I had anticipated

What are the items that you were able to buy and how much did you saved?
I bought about 50 items and saved over $1500

Are you going to Black Friday Walmart again this year? If yes what do you plan on buying this Black Friday 2011 at Walmart?
Yes, I am sure I will go again. Just not the first store. I have about 30 items on my list this year. Nintendo DS 3D, Leap Frog Tablet, iPad 2, iRobot (vacuum cleaner0, Corelle dishes (set of 12), wireless printer….. to name a few

What are your tips for first time Black Friday Shopper?
Be ready to be long lines and crowds. I love shopping on Black Friday. I do 95% my Christmas shopping. I buy tons of stuff for my self too!!! Good Luck

M·A·C Lip Conditioner For Mommy

As much as I want to maintain my other blogs.. it just doesn’t seem to be that possible.. so instead of torturing myself, I will now start posting beauty and fashion related stuff here 🙂

First beauty post: M·A·C Lip Conditioner SPF 15

From M·A·C’ webste: M·A·C’s popular Lip Conditioner in a compact swivel-up stick. Goes on direct – or with a brush – to condition, moisturize and gloss the lips. Provides everyday UVA/UVB protection. Lightly vanilla: clear and sheer…the natural choice for all!

That’s US$15.00 at their website and I got it from Duty Free for $18.00

For someone who loves lipstick so much, I really need to invest on lip care and I just knew that MAC Lip conditioner can deliver the care that my lips need.

It’s a bit small from what I expected (reminds me to read the description better).. This lip conditioner has three kinds, this one which is a stick, the other one which is in tube and the last one (and the cheaper in terms of price in relation to the size) the one in a small container. I was actually planning to buy the one in the container:

But then I realized, I will be using it when I am outside, application can be a bit of hassle if I bought the other one, so I stick with the stick..

As expected, it is very convenient the stick lip conditioner. The smell is not great but it’s not overwhelming.. and the taste, I don’t like it.. but hey I am not the type of person who eats what’s on my lips, so I don’t mind, I am after the effect.

For a few days now, I used it with my lipstick and I noticed a big difference when I applied a conditioner before applying the lipstick. The blending of the lipstick with my lips are better too and noticed that my lips are softer.. and less chapped.

The upper photo is without lip conditioner where as the lower one is with lip conditioner.. obviously the one with lip conditioner is more shiny.. and the color is more blended too, not to mention that it takes less lipstick to get the result that I wanted compared to applying a lipstick to my bare lips.

Black Friday Walmart Experience

I often heard the term BLACK FRIDAY from my friends in the US.. well for me, the only Black Friday I knew is the one from the Holy Week.. but well, Black Friday happens not during the Holy Week but on Friday right after Thanksgiving. It was tagged as one of the busiest shopping day since 2005. Since this is the day after Thanksgiving most employers give their employees the day off, which increases the number of potential shoppers.

Big companies such as Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., Target Corporation are participating in the Black Friday Sale.. I was able to interview one of my marce who joined last year’s Black Friday Sale at Walmart.

When you first heard of Black Friday at Walmart, what was your initial reaction?
*gotta go, sale sale sale…

Did you plan what you are going to buy for the Black Friday?
* heck yeah! saw it on the ad paper from Thanksgiving day.

Can you share with us what is on you list last year?
*3 Nintendo DS for the 3 kids (reg. $149, on sale for $89), 32 inch TV (reg. $399 on sale for $199)

On the day itself, what time did you went to Walmart?
* 330AM

Can you account your Black Friday Walmart experience from the time you arrived until you got your purchase?
*Had to stand in line for over an hour to avail 3 Nintendo DS, you step out of your line, you lose the chance of getting one. limited quantity that’s why. First come first served. By the time I got my DS, the TV line was closed, wahhhh! Registers was kind of slow too, so many people waiting for the time the sale price take effect @ 5AM

What are the items that you were able to buy from Black Friday Walmart Sale and how much did you saved?
* I saved $180 for the 3 Nintendo DS that I bought.

Are you going to Black Friday Walmart again this year?
* But of course at 330AM again,or whatever time I get up, going with my friend

If yes what do you plan on buying this Black Friday 2011 at Walmart?
*winter jackets, winter apparel for the whole family, gifts for friends and family, and a wii game system.

What are your tips for first time Black Friday Shopper?
* Get there early, to get a good parking, if it’s possible, don’t bring children, leave them at home, dress appropriately for the cold weather, leave a lot of space in your trunk for all the shopping that you will do. Bring a lot of cash or credit card. Bring coffee 🙂
