No returns for us. Hurray. Gabe did wait in line with all the post holiday shoppers today though. I needed a new keyboard and mouse.

No returns but Gripey & I shopped for my Christmas gift today (didn't take long, no lines also got a great deal on a bracelet I was 'eyeing'). We stopped at Wmart and bought a few Xmas things on 50% off and then I stocked up on Hershey's kisses (for my 2 a day chocolate fix) at 75% off at United + a few produce items.

We have one return we need to do. We had bought Ryan an electronic dart board and then when we went to his mom's house on Saturday, she got Ryan the same exact one. well, by then we kind of had no choice but to still give it to him & just tell him we can bring it back to the store & let him pick something else out.
But that's it here.

No returns here, but got 75% off a prelit tree. I have been wanting one since they came out. Dh won't let me get a real tree and I really dispise putting the lights on. It's a 7 1/2 ft. spruce and I got it for $40. Not a bad deal.
We returned today. toys r us and the mall. Fortunately, the clerks were friendly and the lines were short! Didn't really get a chance to bargain search as I had the whole family w/me.

Just one. Dd's new alarm clock is possessed
The numbers change all by themselves, giving odd times like 8:79
But I'm not going to exchange it until next week...maybe this Friday at the earliest. I also need to get new speakers for my computer as they crapped out on Christmas eve
