I've got a good portion of my Christmas shopping done already. If I have to take advantage of a bargain on Black Friday, it'll be during the supper hours.

(The part of Christmas shopping that I absolutely LOVE is when I take my 4 yr old granddaughter to do her shopping. She saves money in her piggy bank, which we take to the coin counter at TD Bank and then shop for everyone on her list that she hasn't MADE a present for. We take the presents to my place and she wraps them. She's already decided what she wants to get for certain people.)

Dollypop, wouldn't it be better to teach her to count and wrap the money herself and save the 5-10% that the bank is charging for that service?

Just a thought.

I don't know what "TD Bank" is but a "real" bank should be willing to accept coin and deposit it or exchange it for paper money for customers. It's those Coinstar machines you got to avoid.

Well, referencing "coin counter" at "TD bank" isn't very clear... human or robot?

Robots charge 5-10% usually.

I'm kind of wanting to do the Black Friday thing this year just out of base curiosity. I've never done it before because I've always worked that day, and this year I might actually be scheduled off.

But, I'm broke. I'm even too broke to buy the crafting materials needed to make people cheap presents. So we'll see.
