OK, so black friday is over now... who braved the stores? and was it worth it - did you really get a deal?
i remember last year melissa and i thought we'd be smart and get up at 4am to be at meijer by 5am (i was in KY). she wanted to get rob a digital photo frame. by the time we got there (5:30 or so), they were sold out of the good ones... and the only thing we got was some candy and a towel for kendal. then we headed up to ETown and hit michaels... where we shopped the $1 stamp bin (which if you are familiar with michaels- this isn't a holiday special, this is a rack that is always there and available to buy from). then we got some coffee from starbucks, and went to target.. where the line was wrapped AROUND the inside of the store. anyway, last year she and i decided that black friday shopping was a waste. so, this year i had no desire to even try!
but... we did end up going out (to shop) but it was WELL after 3pm before we got to a store. all those 4am to 9am sales were long past gone. the lines weren't even long, and there were spaces in the parking lots. so, i hardly consider us "shopping" on black friday.
plus we only spent $11... on bows at ACMoore!

I stayed far far way from the malls/stores yesterday. Mr. B had to go to BJs for a few (non gift) stuff and said it was not too bad there.
ReplyDeleteI was over at a DSO person's house doing stuff for the concert this Friday. She said she'd been at Linens N Things a few days ago and got a 4 piece decent luggage set for...$10.
So, I got to thinking I should go over there and check that store out! You just never know.
