It was my first Black Friday ever, but luckily Neil was a veteran and prepared me as best he could. Toys R Us was a mad house...the line wrapped around the store and went down the street quite a ways. After Toys R Us we went straight to Walmart and I thought I was prepared, but I was not at all. The deals we were there for started at 12:01 a.m. and they were all on crates wrapped in plastic wrap so people couldn't start grabbing them before the appropriate time...but at like 11:56 p.m. everyone started ripping the plastic wrap off and I started freaking out. Neil only put me in charge of grabbing 4 things while he got 10 things, haha,and luckily we got everything we wanted!
Our next adventure didn't start until 3 a.m. at Kohl's but we went home after Walmart and fell asleep by accident and didn't end up getting to Kohl's until 6 a.m. and then Neil went straight to Pep Boys and we finished Black Friday with True Value and Ace Hardware.
After a full night of shopping Neil and I were very excited to look at all of our presents we got :)
This is me and all of my presents :) I got the movies 17 Again and 27 Dresses, as well as a vacuum cleaner, crock pot, 10 piece frame set, a mini chopper, and a spice rack!
Neil with his goodies...he got 2 portable power systems so we can jump start our cars and one has a tire inflator, he also got a dremel set, some extension cords, and he got the movies Spider-man 3, the first three Fast and the Furious movies, X-Men: The Last Stand, and I Am Legend.
Together we both got the games KerPlonk, Chinese Checkers, Othello, Scrabble Slam, and Yahtzee. We also got a few movies that we both love like Batman Begins, Walk the Line, Ice Age, Casino Royale, and Mr. and Mrs. Smith, we also have The Dark Knight and all six Harry Potter movies on their way.
We saved over 330 dollars so lets just say I am converted to shopping on Black Friday!
Awesome! I love black friday. I have never done the early early bird stuff. I usually just go look for the left overs later unless there is like 1 really hot item. I don't think I could do more than one item with out feeling overwhelmed with excitement.
ReplyDeleteOh wow you did the super early stuff! That's quite the pile of presents! Early to me is like 8 or 9am when it comes to shopping. And I don't have the patience to wait in those lines so I've only ever ventured out on Black Friday once or twice in my life. lol. It's funny that Neil got those power things for your cars because David was just talking about how he wants one. (One of our batteries died the other day at my school and the security people brought one of those things out. He was in awe. lol.)
ReplyDeletehaha glad you liked black friday! We had to take Connor this year so we only went to the wal-mart in Rexburg which wasn't too busy. But we bought that little chopper too lol
