It’s been a busy one for sure. I hope everyone has been able to score some great deals during my absence at A Thrifty Penny. Here’s a peek into our lives recently:

Black Friday
I only shopped at CVS and Walgreens, but had about 10 transactions with lots of great deals! We spent a good chunk of time looking online, but only ended up buying 1 thing online over the weekend, and some shirts for Hubby today.
I hate to say it, but we probably aren’t even going to put up a tree this year. When we look back on this year of our lives I’m hoping we can say that we grew and learned a LOT, but that we really won’t remember how terribly difficult it has been.
I am going to strive to continue with my regularly scheduled posts, but things may be more concise than they have been. I’ll be utilizing the resources of some other super bloggers instead of doing all my own matchups. I’m making plans now for posts while I’m out of town so hopefully you won’t notice when I’m a little overwhelmed with life over the holidays. You all are wonderful and I enjoy helping each of you be more efficient with your household budgets and your time. I hope you’ll continue to keep me on my toes by asking great questions and letting me share great tips. ~Cricket
