I survived shopping on black Friday!!!

glad you got a good deal. i didn't have anything i wanted to get, so i was sleeping lol. i did go last year with my daughter, we left my house at 11:30, the first store we wanted to go to opened at midnight last year.......yep, scrapbooking lol. she did manage to get every thing on her list last year.

I was at kmart at 5am and they opened at 6am. My husband wanted a drill and the kids a mp3 player. Then me went to walmart and got some sweatsuits and movies. We wanted the memory cards from Target but they were sold out, so we picked up a cd and two movies. Now I am home and ready for bed. I stayed up all night cause if I would have went to sleep I would never of woke up. Everything went pretty well. Glad its over.

Happy to hear that you survived the mad Black Friday rush. I was looking at the news where a man had a heart attack, the crowd had gotten totally out of control.
I did not do Black Friday this morning, I have only done it once, and was not a happy camper, too many people, grabbing, pulling, pushing, really not my cup of tea.
Thankfully, you were able to get something that you had your eye on, if not all of the items.
I was up at five, but get up early everyday.
Since you are now out of the mad rush, I hope you have a great day, and enjoy the camera if you bought it for yourself.

I didn't go this morning. However, my husband did. I didn't feel like going for one thing, and two I worked for a bit. I know that he's getting a microwave at walmart and he's still not back. he left at four this morning to get there at five, that was four hours ago lol. I see we are going to be broke when he gets back. LOL maybe I should have went.

I did my very first Black Friday at Walmart this morning and OMFG!!! I live in a smaller farming type area and I NEVER THOUGHT it would be a mad house but sure enough it was CRAZY!! I did get what I wanted though which is good....I dont think I would EVER try to do it in a big city though...I can't even begin to imagine what that would be like!!

Glad to hear you survived. I was at Walmart at 9pm last night picking something up for my brother. It was pretty calm then. The lady in line ahead of me said that there were already people with carts full of stuff that were waiting until 5 am to go through the checkouts. Now that is CRAZY! Sitting at Walmart for 8 hours to get something a little cheaper. I did not even attempt shopping today. I am broke anyway.

I was a little disappointed at the ads too! I was up at 3am. I went out with my sister. she was able to get a Wii, so that was the big purchase of the day! Then we went to Pennys to pick up or free snowglobe that we get from there every year. Then it was off to Walmart. I wanted to get the girls activewear outfits for $4 there and they didn't end up coming in!! I was quite upset because that was my main thing to get at Walmart. I did end up getting a few things and only spent $20 there!!!
Then off to Big Lots. They had hoodies for $2.50 each! Couldn't beat that deal. I bought 3 of them for my boys. After that we stopped at Sams club where they were serving free breakfast. We had bagels and hot chocolate:)
Next off to KMart~ nothing great there either. I did go to KMart Yesterday and got a gps for my son and buy one get one free games for my daughter:)
I also went to Home Depot, Office Max and CVS. CVS had some great buys with the bonus bucks, so I got about $27 worth of stuff for $9 and walked out with another $7 in bonus bucks to use next time.

I got home around 10am and crashed!
Now it is time to get some of the Christmas Decortations out!

Did you get the Kodak Easy Share Camera? I love mine. I even got the dock so I can print my own photos. I have had it for 2 yrs and love it!

I actually had to work at 4am this morning in retail, so I got the rush of the black friday shoppers. It was actually pretty calm once we opened our doors, but apparently there was one store in the same block as ours that had the cops called over because a customer noticed a baby sitting in a parked car unattended. Also, apparently there was two fights at stores in our town, one person actually got taken to the hospital after being stabbed with a pencil. It was pretty chaotic but we weren't that bad.

Congratulations on your survival, from what I understand, black friday is a dangerous day to be out down there.

It is good to hear that you arrived home alive. Unfortunately, that is more than can be said for that Wal-Mart employee on Long Island. Imagine that. People acting like animals and trampling someone to death all to save a few bucks.
