This was my 2nd year going out for black friday and my first year waiting for more than a hour for a item!! We got to Toys R Us around 6pm. There were 3 other cars. We finally all got out of  our cars around 6:15 and set up camp! We were about 4th in line. We made friends right away, which was good cause we all got each other through the night! The people in front of us were there for Zhu Zhu Pets & The $99.99 Pony. We were mainly there for the Zhu Zhu Pet but got the $19.99 Polly Pocket Playset and the $2.98 Littlest Pet Shop stuffed animal. It was a fun night. The rain held off and it wasn't to to cold out. UNO's was open so we were able to use there bathroom and we got some food half way through the night. The line seemed to grow really fast! It had to have been about a mile long - no lie!! Around 11pm [hour before opening] people started gathering in the parking lot! apparently they thought when the doors opened they would all just walk in w/no problem! HA! The man

Well ive belonged to MyPoints for about a year now. I kinda ignored it in the beginning but over the summer i did every mail reading there was... some surveys too!

Im not sure how much help this will be to anyone, but i came across a EBook i printed when i was pregnant last year. Here are some of the things in it! If you want to read everything in the book, you'll have to go to the site linked above! Ways to get FREE Diapers: Diaper Drive - Usually done by someone other than yourself and usually done by community donations, friends, church groups, community members can help organize diaper drives.

So the past few weeks/months friends have been amazed by my steals and deals and have been asking me to help them out and get them started in the world of couponing! So i figured it was about time to write this all out for you guys! Step 1 -  Buy a Binder. A five star type zipper binder would be best, so things don't fall out and it holds up good! But any will do. Get Baseball Card holders Dividers Page Protectors [i use those for over flow coupons and to put my coupon/story policys in] Some sort of labeling system. I bought a cheap hand help old school labeler [the hand gun type]. Step 2 - Start buying Sunday papers! We buy 3 cause my husband likes to read and i like the coupons, so he gets a Sunday Republican, Boston Globe, and The Harold. It might sound like alot of money but you make up the difference in savings!! And see if family members will give you their coupons inserts! Step 3 [optional] - Get a printer. Any printer will do. Doesn't have to be fancy! Just
