I love Black Friday and I got some decent deals.
In Michael's I got thank you cards for the wedding for $0.75 for a pack of 8. I also got placecard holders that look like tiny Christmas balls - 2 in a pack for $0.75. I am not putting one at each person's spot but rather I'm using them just for the bridal party and as the holders for the table number cards. I also got a tossing bouquet that has dark red roses and pearls in it. I'm not using it as the tossing bouquet but instead I am chopping down the stem and using it as part of my cake topper. Michael's was crazy! We got there at 6:30 AM and the registers weren't working. They had to put everyone's stuff in bags with their name & phone number on it and I had to go back for it later. But they still honored my coupon.
In AC Moore I got large candles in a glass jar - 5 for $10. I am giving them as gifts to my aunts and cousin who are decorating my reception. And I got a black scrapbook with white snowflakes for $2.50.
At Bath & Body Works I had a coupon to get one item free (up to a $13 value) if I spent $10. I got 2 vanilla body cremes that I am giving to my greeter and my pianist (I didn't hire a pianist - my friend is doing it - and yes I am giving her more than just lotion! LOL).
And I only bought one Christmas present. We're not really giving Christmas presents this year due to the fact that my wedding is 2 days after Christmas but I needed to buy something for the 2 kids that I work with. My one client is 4 years old and she is the most adorable girl ever. And she loves Sleeping Beauty so I found a cute little playset for her that I saved $3.00 on. I know she'll love it.
At Rite Aid I got candy canes for the wedding - buy one get one free.
At CVS I bought holiday M & M's for my candy buffet - $1.50 a bag.
It was a good wedding day for me!

I refuse to shop when there are that many people. (I don't even like to shop when there's few people) so I shop from the computer as much as I can ;) I found some great deals at Victoria's Secret, and Bath & Body Works AND both had free shipping! :) I got $60.00 flannel PJ's and $25.00 slippers for $29.00. (That includes shipping and tax) I can't wait till they get here! Sounds like you ladies got some great deals (especially the kitchen mixer, I know they can get pricy) :)

Congrats on the deals. We don't have anything like that in Canada but last year FH and I went over for the Saturday after Black Friday and still got amazing deals.
This year because our dollar isn't doing so well right now and because I have an exam on Tuesday, we couldn't go. However, I noticed that a lot of CDN companies were having sales too - maybe to keep the shoppers in Canada? Like Michaels was having huge sales (although I never got to go), Futureshop and The Brick were too!

I always have to work, but I did send money with my cousin to buy a laptop from Best Buy. He along with 5 other guys camped out. They got there at 10:30 Thursday night, but they were like 60 people back already!! They got the last vouchers for the computers...that's crazy. I'm so glad they got it though! I love it and I needed a new one sooo bad!

We got in line at Best Buy for 9pm on Thursday night and stayed in line for 8 hours until the store opened. Funny thing though...When we got there we were around the side of the building!!!!!
But I got a new laptop with a printer and virus software for 599.99
We also went to Michael's and I got Cricut Cartridges on sale for 29.99 usually 89.99!!!
Then Sears and got a Christmas Tree for 149.00 usually 299.99
Then I got TONS of clothes at Children's Place for my godson and only spent 70 bucks!

We go shopping on Black Friday every year! It has become a tradition for my mom, my sis, my grams, and me. We meet up at 3:30 am and head out!
We always go to a mall in the area and do most of our shopping there! We got some great deals and I only have to get my grams and finish my dad, otherwise everyone else is done =)
I also had FH up at 3:30 in the morning to go over to walmart. He wanted to get his daughter a trampoline for xmas this year and they had them for $140 with the safety top and all. SOOO he went there at 3:30 and they only had six! He got the 5th one =)
