Deal Bombardment

Am I the only person that is getting an email bombardment of deals? Yes, I do most of my shopping online and so maybe this is why I'm overloaded with deal after deal after deal. And, some of the catalogs are sending daily emails with deals and so it's obvious they are desperate. I'm creating most of my gifts through one source this year and so I've vowed that I am not going shopping for clothing or electronics until after Christmas because I think the deals will be absolutely amazing.

Anyway, I thought I'd list the companies that are throwing themselves at me just in case you hadn't gotten the bombardment:

• Kohls
• Jessica London
• Chadwicks
• Eddie Bauer
• HSN
• Borders
• Barnes and Noble
• SkyMall
• DSW
• Buy.com
• Limoges Jewelry
• Dell
• Costco
• Sam's Club
• JJill

One catalog was clever (or not) enough to send an email out with a mistake and then follow up the next day with another email saying "Oops - we are sorry for the mistake. Take 30% off on us." Wow, is this a more giving world suddenly or ....

the recession is officially here. (I couldn't believe that this was the first week the news actually annnounced this after we all know we've been in it for over a year)

Regardless, happy shopping! The next few months look like a good time to buy some of those high (now low) priced items on the your list.
