22w3d- BABY DEALS FROM BLACK FRIDAY!

I am finally getting around to posting about the great deals from our shopping excursion the day after Thanksgiving.....In my earlier post, I mentioned that we started shopping at midnight.....trying to get in on the door buster sales.....but no luck because about 500 people had the same idea before I did!  Even the 40 degrees and rain did not stop the lines from forming well before midnight at Babies R Us.....we couldn't even get in the parking lot!  Needless to say, we were not one of the crazies to stand in the rain......instead, we chose to drive over to JoAnn Etc. to camp out in their parking lot all night in order to be the first in line for their 6 AM sales:

Here are my great buys.... cream (bottom), green, brown and pink fabrics!   Each usually run $12.99 per yard but I needed about 51/2 yards of the cream and wasn't about to pay that much! Here's the sale prices:

Cream= $2.99 per yard (WOOT!)

Green, Brown and Pink= $6.50 per yard (50% off!)

PLUS an additional $20% off the total sale!!!!........It was worth sleeping in the car for a few hours in the parking lot in order to get the exact colors and amount of fabric needed to make the quilt for the twin bed in the baby's room!  You should have seen me finagle three 50% coupons (since it was one per person!)  I enlisted the help of Great Grandma Richards, and her friend in order to buy the three different colors during the same shopping stop!  I added the receiving blankets and the letter that Aunt Caitlin painted to the photo so you can see how all of the fabrics and prints blend and match.  I plan on cutting the receiving blankets up and using them as fabric in the quilt as well!  All of which match the nursery bedding that Courtney picked out!  More photos to come when this is all sewn.....probably over Christmas break.... that's when Aunt Caitlin and I have some free time to be creative!!!!

One shopping stop was Kohls:

 

This is one of the many sleepers I purchased for Nevaeh.....originally $12.99 each.....marked down to $4.80 with additional 15% off total purchased .....final purchase price $4.00 each!!!!! (WOW!!!)

Finally we went back to Babies R Us (thanks to Uncle Ajay who was willing to drive this old, tired person around!)............

This rocker was originally $300.00 but we got it on sale for $149.00!  (WOOT!)  It is dark wood with Mocha cushions....so it will match nicely in the baby's room or Courtney and Mike's living room!

IT IS SOOOO MUCH FUN TO GO SHOPPING FOR BABIES AGAIN.....I AM LOVING LIFE!
