Hmmm...I am finishing up my Christmas shopping...so I do have some buying to do this month...I guess I'll put 12 days (this is ALL spending, groceries and gasoline included) and see if I can go for more.

November
1-bought gasoline and a few groceries (taking advantage of the last day of a good sale)
2-bought groceries (got the rest of my needed items to cover a two week period--will only need to get produce and possibly milk next week)
3-No Buy #1
4-Christmas shopping and a couple of household items that were on sale this day only
5-No Buy #2

Managed to ONLY spend $0.79 today on Black Friday! It could have been ~$20 spent but I returned some items to RONA that we ended up not using when our kitchen sink blocked up. So the return credited most of our purchase

Anyone else making out with nearly-nothing Black Friday shopping trips?
