Hey guys!! So Thursday at 12 am, I went on my first Black Friday trip to see if we could find some deals. We went to a nearby mall. Now I was expecting people to be shoving and physically fighting to get things they wanted, and I expected to see alot more electronics with slashed prices, and more practical items available everywhere. Instead, since we went to a mall, most of my time was spent waiting for my sister to pick out name brand clothes that are usually expensive, but driven down to normal looking prices after the sales. Everywhere within the store, there were name brand clothing stores. I am not bashing anybody here that likes sales on name brand clothing, I just want to say that it isn't exactly for me. This is most likely because I'm a guy and don't care too much for fashion. I wish I had gone to Walmart or somewhere else for my first Black Friday experience! I ended up never finding anything worthwhile for myself. And while we were waiting in long lines, I began to think that it is sometimes worthwhile to value time over money; while you can earn money back, you can't get time back. Also, my family has been using Restaurant.com quite frequently to buy ourselves Gift Certificates to use at restaurants. Check it out at restaurant.com ! Also, I want to share that on this blog, if you haven't noticed, there are a few other tabs at the top; you can view pictures of items I have snagged for free with my online amazon money, and there is also a poll question that I would appreciate answers on! I will change it here and there as well.
So did anybody out there find some great deals on Black Friday? If so feel free to share below! And be on the lookout from more posts from me! I am going to be posting more frequently now, so please feel free to let your friends/family know about this blog! - Brandon

Hey guys....I haven't posted in a really long time, and I apologize. I recently have been running out of ideas on what to share here. Lately, I have really been getting into new Rewards websites, many of which I have shared here on this blog. One new one recently that I have found, similar to the other sites I have shared, is called EpicRewardz. It is just like Points2shop, on which you complete offers, watch videos, etc to earn points. You start out with 250 points, the equivalent of $2.50. A link to the site can be found here!
http://epicrewardz.com/home?ref=skinsfan102 Now on to the more serious topic for today....the direction of this blog. When I posted here more often, I got a number of viewers to my surprise, but very little feedback. A few times I asked if people would kindly post suggestions, but I did not receive any. I am wondering on whether I should turn this page into more of one on which I share day to day experiences with spending and saving money, and how it helps shape my lifestyle, or whether it should just be a site on which freebies and deals are posted, or both. Any ideas guys? I would like to keep posting, but I have no idea as to what people want to read. Please, feel free to reply below with your o As always, Your Frugal Friend Brandon |
