Shopping is on everyone’s mind right now … as a shopper or as a shopkeeper for those of us with online shops.

I went to Office Max on Black Friday and bought a new glass & metal computer desk for myself …. no Christmas presents that day – I already had one in my closet form last sumemr when I got something for my grandson while it was on sale – he will still use it – it is not something he will grow out of of before I could give it to him. On Sunday, I went to the Family Dollar store to get toilet tissue … I was not about to fight the crowds in the checkout lines at Wal-Mart for a basic supply of life when I could go somewhere much less popular and not have to wait for several hours to checkout.

I did buy some Christmas gifts and birthday gifts while there though – good deals
