black is the new friday

Ongoing post on what I bought for Black Friday -

Not sure how good shopping will be this Black Friday week. But I'll keep a post going to keep track. I am tracking things I am buying since 11/22 Friday:

11/22/2013 Friday: Norpro set of 3 silicone suction lids, from Amazon, $13 (kinda obsessing over suction lids these days - yup I have odd obsessions)
11/23/2013 Saturday: X-Files seasons 1-9 on dvd, from FoxConnect, $59 ($6 a season is too good to pass up - the rumored blu ray set is going to be way more expensive)
11/23/2013 Saturday: Dove's Men's Care Body Wash (qty 2), from Amazon, $1.80 each
11/23/2013 Saturday: Misc groceries, from Grocery Outlet, $21 (does groceries count as Black Friday shopping?)
11/24/2013 Sunday: From Up The Poppy Hill blu ray, from Amazon, $13 (Studio Ghibli blu ray for cheap is rare, so I am blind buying)
11/25/2013 Monday: Pasquale Pizza voucher from Livingsocial, $8
11/26/2013 Tuesday:  Misc groceries, from Trader Joe's, Grocery Outlet, and Safeway $25 (come on, when is real Black Friday shopping beginning?  This is all kinda lame, me logging in my grocery shopping.)
11/26/2013 Tuesday:  3 shirts and 1 windbreaker from Land's End Canvas, $65 (I suspect a majority of this order is going to be returned, since I am hit-and-miss with Land's End sizing.)
11/26/2013 Tuesday:  WD portable 500 GB hard drive, from Target, $40 (for the porn stash - actually to be honest, it's more for the Doctor Who and Three's Company stash, but admitting that is kinda embarrassing...)
11/27/2013 Wednesday:  Ninja Master Prep blender, from Target, $17 (kids, this is crazy - original price is $50, Black Friday doorbuster price is $30, and I scored this for $17 using Target's cartwheel app)
11/27/2013 Wednesday:  Dyson DC 35, from Target, $120 (get ready to have your mind blown - original price is $330, Black Friday doorbuster price is $200, and I scored this for $120!!!!!  Bam!  Now that's shopping!)
11/28/2013 Thursday:  Star Trek Into Darkness, World War Z, Pacific Rim blu rays, from Amazon, $9 each (all $7.99 plus tax)
11/28/2013 Thursday:  Pitch Perfect blu ray, from Amazon, $10 ($9 plus tax)
11/28/2013 Thursday:  Madonna NYC 83 photograph book from Richard Corman, from Amazon $27 (I love this period in Madonna history.  I've been wanting this for a while, used Amazon's 30% coupon code bookdeal for $10 off)
11/28/2013 Thursday:  The Conjuring blu ray, from Rakuten, $2 (used free points I magically had in my account)
11/28/2013 Thursday:  Voucher for $10 IceBee Frozen Yogurt, from Groupon, $0 (used free $5 credit I got from Groupon)
11/28/2013 Thursday:  Perks Of Being A Wallflower dvd, from Amazon, $4.60 (I've been waiting for the blu ray to come down to below $10.  Close but no cigar, so I opted to go for the dvd for $4 plus tax.)
11/29/2013 Friday:  Laptop sleeve and 2 camera cases, from Case Logic, $1 (yup one dollar for all three items)
11/29/2013 Friday:  Eneloop rechargeable batteries and charger, from Costco (qty 2), $22 each
11/29/2013 Friday:  Microfiber dish drying mat, from Costco, $6
11/29/2013 Friday:  Colgate toothpaste, from Target, $3
11/29/2013 Friday:  Toshiba Canvio portable 1 TB hard drive, from Staples, $44 (will probably return the Target drive I bought on Tuesday, since this one is double the size for double the porn, for the same price)
11/29/2013 Friday:  The Croods blu ray, from Amazon, $11 (got this in mind as a gift for a little person, and I don't mean a midget)


Total: $564 so far
(Am I going to come in under $500???  Oh craps, I went above $500.  I guess I am gonna return a few of the items, so it'll net down to just around $500.)
