As I sit here I am almost too tired to reply. Thanksgiving day itself was exhausting... 3 families to go visit and they all live over an hour away from the others, so there was lots of driving too. My mom agreed to keep my kids over night so I go shopping with the crazys.
I was at MicroCenter at 3 am for my 32" LCD HDTV for $369. Actually, I should say my boyfriends. How on earth he managed to talk me into getting up that early and standing in line for his TV is beyond me. When I got there I found about 125 people already lined up. By the time they started handing out vouchers there must have been about 800 people in line. I kid you not. Our MicroCenter is at the atart of a long strip mall, in the end the line was downto the end. My wait was not in vain though. I did manage to get one of the last vouchers for the 32" handed out (they had 2 other sizes too). I then drove to get the voucher to my boyfriend so that he could go pay for it. It was about 5:30 by then.
My next stop was Walmart for the Easy Bake Oven ($10), the Cars Slumber set($15), Dora ABC game (price matched at $3.99), and 24 season 1 (price matched at $16). I was out of there by 6:30 and on to the mall where I basically killed an hour and got nothing. On To Best Buy where I picked up Crash (4.99). Over to Circuit City I go (did not find anything here). I run back home and get there by 9:30 because I realized I forgot an ad that I was going to have Walmart price match. Go back to Walmart pick up High School musical DVD game (price matched 9.99). Head to Old Navy, find 2 camis for $10, these are for me, I've been wanting some to put under sweaters for quite a while. I get a beige and pink one they should match anything. They also give me free gift labels, yay!, one less thing to buy. Over to Kohls I go. They win the award for the worst line of the day, it goes all the way around the store! I get my daughter Big sister Dora (she has been wanting this one forever), a pair of deep turquoise cords, and some Doar hair accessories for her stocking. Grand total 21.54. By this time it's about 12:30and I feel like I'm going to fall over from lack of sleep, so I go to pick my kids up. I took a short nap and visited more with family.
I left my moms at about 3:00 stopped by CVS and Gordmans (both dissapointing). Went over to Target got some Hello Kitty stocking stuffers from the dollar spot, Hello Kitty electric toothbush and toothpaste gift set (4.99), Uno, Go Fishing game (3.99), Jr. Monopoly (7.00), and a pack of 2 blanket sleepers (6.99). I finish the day at Bed Bath and Beyond. I got a pizza stone 4 peice gift set, a euroseal, a little hourglass timer, and a set of 3 silicone basting brushes for 21.00! I finally got home at 7pm and I crashed hard...
This is my first black friday ever and what a day it was. I am now almost done Christmas shopping. I actually should get done today!
