Did you do any Black Friday or Cyber Monday shopping?

I did a bit. . . for myself.
Funds are a bit tight until I get paid on Friday so I didn't have any big plans to start Christmas shopping until then. That being said I received emails from philosophy and Yankee Candle that caught my eye.
philosophy was having a 40% off sale (on everything). Their skin and bath products are pricey but I do use them on a regular basis. I ordered their hope in a jar water cream facial moisturizer and the miracle worker undereye treatment. I figured that I was going to have to buy them soon anyway so I had might as well take advantage of the savings.
Yankee Candle had the best sale I can remember with buy 2 get 3 free on almost everything. I ALWAYS have candles burning when I am here and awake so that was a no-brainer. I paid $62 plus like $6 shipping for $155 worth of Large Housewarmer jar candles. I think I put 1 balsam & cedar scented (Christmas tree) one in the cart but the rest were suitable for after the holiday. I usually buy their Garden Sweet Pea candles this time of year because I like to use them in the winter to remind me that spring is coming but they aren't offering it at the moment.
I didn't go crazy with the shopping but I also thought it would be crazy to hold off on buying things that I ALWAYS buy with such good sales available. I also will get SB points for the philosophy purchase. I have started thinking about gifts and will order some this weekend after I get paid.
Did you buy much over the past few days?

@NJChicaa — their blueberry tea is what sold me on them. There’s no other blueberry tea out there ANYWHERE that I’ve tasted that is as good as that. They have a chocolate cuppa sampler that I recommend, too.

Buy 2 get 3 free sounds like an unreal sale. That is stinking impressive. I bought a pair of Skechers shoes on Black Friday. My current pair of tennis shoes will not hold up to walking when we go on a cruise next September. I also bought a few candles on Amazon I absolutely love (rose scented). Cyber Monday I bought two birthday cards that were on sale that were normally ten dollars (which is crazy unless you’re telling me it’s gold). So nothing exciting, but I saved money on things I needed to buy anyway. The Skechers shoes were like 40% off, so I felt good about that.

I bought a washer and dryer on Cyber Monday at Lowe's and got over $50 credit with BeFrugal. I think Lowe's has a loyalty program too. Have a good day.
