It used to be Black Friday was a one-day shopping event that happened the day after Thanksgiving. This year it seems like sales advertised as Black Friday deals started happening back in October! So far I haven't succumbed to the massive advertising blitz for all of these great tech deals (although I am looking at a new cell phone but it really doesn't make sense to spend $1000 on a new cell phone when I rarely use the cell phone I have as I only use it for calls, texts, and taking pictures). In other news:
- If your turkey is still in the freezer it should probably come out now and start defrosting. Hubby and I are having our usual small dinner; we bought a few thick slices of turkey at a local deli today and I will make the sides on Thursday.
- If you encounter a turkey emergency, you can always call the Turkey Talk Line for help.
- A quick money saving tip: stock up on stamps before the price goes up. They last forever so this is a great way to save a bit of money.
- If you are into genealogy, Roots Tech has an upcoming conference in March that is free to attend online.
- A quick reminder about all of the things homeowner's insurance doesn't cover.
- And a quick safety reminder about not mixing cleaning products.
- I'm debating whether I should delete all of my social media next year or not. It seems like ALL social media is so utterly invasive, manipulative, and a prime source for data harvesting that I'm not sure the benefits are worth the huge loss of privacy. Anyway, here is a place to start if you are also concerned about this.
- Finally I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
I've bought stamps three times lately. I might buy another time before stamps go up. I only buy the little amount that folds twice. That way, the outlay is over a few months.
ReplyDeleteThe woman who was going to clean was starting to mix vinegar and something else! She owns a cleaning company. Yeah, sure.
Love free genealogy. I am on fb, but rarely go there. I figure that i have been on the internet for so long, that everyone who needs to know or wants to know, all the nefarious types have my info. Now, long lost friends probably cannot find me.
Good list today.
It seems like I have been online forever too!
