  1. I’m so glad to see that computers are at their lowest prices right now! I’ve been needing a new computer for a while now, but other things have gotten in the way (car repairs, tree trimming, etc.). Hopefully I can get a good deal!

    1. I hope you can find a good deal this month too, Erin.

  2. Thanks for sharing this list, Shelly! We would like to buy a new Christmas tree for next year. We saw them on sale online at Lowe’s so I think we’re going to get a good deal there. 🙂

    We had bought a new tree on Black Friday weekend, and it was a total FAIL. Let’s just say it lasted about 2 weeks before the stand gave way and it ended up on the floor and some of our precious family ornaments ended up broken! 🙁 So frustrating. I can laugh at the situation now, and we were able to return the tree to Target and get out money back but really??? Black Friday merchandise is not always as it seems.

    1. Oh no, I’m sorry to hear about your broken ornaments. That’s awful. I don’t think the quality of some of the Christmas trees is very good.

      We too purchased a Christmas tree just a year ago and it hasn’t lasted the base isn’t good and it tips to one side. The fiber optic lights and burnt out on part of the tree after one year. I’m hoping to find a new tree too. Our previous one lasted 10 years so it was disappointed that this one was not as well made.
