Black Friday 2011

Did anyone go out and do some shopping?  Did anyone get any great deals?  Did you get pepper sprayed?  Share your war stories and you your great deals here.

I actually had a job!  Afterwards I went to Staples and bought a digital picture frame on sale.  Nothing special.  I really stay away from all the crowds.  My daughter went shopping from Midnight on Thursday night to 6:00 in the morning on Friday.  She's young, and she went to be with her friend mostly, just for the experience.  She bought a few cute things for herself....50% off at Urban Outfitters.   But she said it's too nerve wracking to fight all the crowds and make a decision on what to buy. too much pressure.  You have to go in knowing what you are going to buy.

 

Today though (Sunday) I went on Amazon.com and bought quite a few gifts.   For those gifts that were cheaper, I bought them through Walmart.com and I will pick them up at the store at my convenience.

I went to Fry's and got a laptop for $178.  I was there from a little after 9 p.m. to 3 a.m. in the morning.  Then I went to Toys R'Us and Old Navy.  I got about 80% of my shopping done.  Yay!!

Kyung, you were up till 3:00 on the morning?  Crazy.  I stayed home and out of all the crazy people's way.  The longer you wait, the prices go down and there aren't as many people to get in your way.  I think Christmas is way overrated anyway.
