Black Friday

For some reason here in Minnesota a year or so ago all the 24 hour WalMarts changed to closing at 11 p.m. I miss going there late at night/early morning for shopping. But I am hitting K-Mart Turkey day as they are opened.

HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB!!~

There used to be a 24 hour Walmart but each Thanksgiving they were closed and since someone got killed there this year in a shooting they decided to close it early. I am not going to that Walmart but the other one which is in a better neighbourhood. Anyhow I was telling my husband this morning I am taking the tent tonight and waiting. I guess he forgot. because now he says I'm crazy. (Too many beers last night). I really just want one gift which is the XBOX and maybe the camera. I have to take it one step at a time. What are you looking for this year?

I had a list of stuff to get for my family, mostly the small things they have alot of. Personally i wanted the Nintendo DS lite that came with the Brain Age game. So after spending half the night a Wal-Mart and waiting and waiting for them to bring them out, i learned they hand only about three and they were gone. Needless to say i was mad. However that was a GameStop across the street and me and a friend that went with me raced back to my place, checked gamestops online ad and they had what i wanted just about 13 dollars more and we had about an hour before they opened. So we raced back to the store and was 15th in line and i was able to get the Nintendo Ds Lite. The funny part is my dad came in a few minutes after the store open and same me waiting in line and game me the money to get him one, but he wanted the Mario Special Edition one.

Right now they have a PS2 and it's ok. Their stepbrother brought over his X-BOX and they liked it. We have 4 boys so we figured this would be their gift for at least 3 of them. By the time I buy little things here and there it totals to that or more. I also am planning to sell one of their Playstation 2 too with some of the games.

Well I have never tried it myself, camping out that is, but I know how crazy those sales can get. My husband and me went last year with our five kids. We did pretty good and surprisingly the kids behaved. The stores weren't that crowded either. I heard that Kmart is open too so maybe I will see their specials as well.

You know I hope so. I have looked at all the sales, in fact I just sent my husband out to get a paper. I was blessed because I didn't know I had another check coming for my financial aid for school so we have money. School is almost over in a few weeks and I have gotten my supplies for school. I think Walmart said they would match everyone elses price so I am taking those ads as well.

I have seen it too but heck it will be something to remember if I get passed tomorrow morning.

I have my little tent that I bought the kids several years back. It's a pop up tent all you have to do is snap up the rods. It beats sitting in the cold. I wish I could take a picture for you too but my camera is broke so that is another reason I'd like to be there to buy their camera. I'm taking all the ads with me to kill time.

You know I was thinking about that, putting the tent away so I can get ready for the mayhem. I thought about taking my oldest son or the second oldest. I need someone there to stand for me while I put my gear away. I have to really keep thinking this out today before I leave, I was even thinking about the bathroom situation too.

I would let the kids put the stuff away as people are not nice. They could still your spot when your putting stuff away. They will take it right from your son's. That is why they call it black friday. People that are all nice turn evil. Your friend onlydia. Oh yeah don't turn your back on your cart they take from that as well. Have a good time.

I forgot about the cart, getting one before and after. My husband went to get the paper today but for some reason it didn't have the Walmart sales, it's ok I already saw what was on sale online. I'm having him take out the little tent right now. My oldest and probably the second son is going, I think.

Well, my friend how did it go for you? It was crazy at some Kmarts here in MN. From what I heard. I didn't go out I just stayed at home and crocheted. So you have to tell me how you did. I live through you on black friday as people scare me on that day. Your friend onlydia

I have only seen it in television myself so it will be something to be a part of in history.

well...............are you going to try what you have seen in t.v.thats called guts,man.isnt life all about taking risks!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am hoping that they will hand out some sort of number too because it can get pretty hectic. I think I would be so upset if I spent the night there and found out someone who was behind me got what I wanted. I saw some kids camping outside Best Buy since two days ago. I wish I had a laptop with me to keep everyone posted.

I think at this point it's just for the adventure, you know like working undercover getting to see what others are doing out there also. I live a quiet life so this might be something new. My two boys decided to join me tonight. Maybe we can bond during this time.
