I will post a more detailed list tomorrow. I am exhausted! I made my first purchase at 5:00 am and I just walked through the door after 10 pm...wow almost 17 hours of shopping....even longer since I left the house.
I overslept and didn't wake up until 15 til 4...... I raced and got ready and I pulled into the
Walmart parking lot at 5:01. It was a madhouse, but no one was rude....it was just wall to wall carts. I opted to not get a cart, but I still couldn't really get anywhere. They didn't have maps so I headed towards toys to get the toys I wanted.....but they were actually in the grocery section so with all the carts it slowed me down a bit. I was able to get the my size princess barbie for $35....I originally wanted to barbie jeep until I saw it was the 1 seater and 6 volt.... I could have gotten it they had several left, but I decided to get the one DD picked, the 2 seater, later.
I also grabbed the $10 barbie car, some princess pj's and a few $3 movies. I checked out and was back in my car by 5:20, which was pretty good with all the traffic.
I then headed for Target, I got there at 5:30 and waited in the line until 6....there were some friendly ladies in front of me that helped pass the time, and the line wasn't too long. Since I was one of the early people through the door and I had to get a large item I grabbed a cart. I quickly got the Sleeping Beauty Vanity for $49 and a portable DVD player for $50 and cute pink soft bathrobe for DD for $10 and headed for the checkout....no lines the cashiers were just waiting in the aisle. I grabbed a few more $3 and $4 movies and checked out. I was in my car by 6:10.
I then headed for the mall and my MIL, Aunt, cousins and grandmother in laws joined me. Some of the good deals I got were 3 Carolina t-shirts for $13 after coupon at Belk, $8 super soft PJ pants for my sis. Buy 2 get 1 free Dr. Suess books at Borders, a big Horton (hears a who) talking stuffed animal with book at Macy's for $12, and a huge bag of stuff from Children's place for $30 something. I got a lot of other stuff I will go back later and see what the best deals were.
We headed to Toys-R-Us next.... I was unimpressed. I got the 2 pack of Barbie ballerina princess dolls for $11 and a Little Mommy Doll for 12, and then I shelled out $249.99 for the Barbie Jeep. It was $199.99 on the Toys-R-US website, so I thought it would be in the store too, but I guess not. I was a little bummed, but they only had 1 left and that is the top thing on DD's list and the only thing she has asked Santa for, so I bought it at full price out of fear I might not find one later if I waited for a sale.
At Sears I got a really cute purse for my mom, it looks like the Coach patchword bags in gold tones....it was on sale for $13. I got DD 2 Disney Necklaces, they were sterling silver and so nice. I might have to take some pics of them. They weren't the kiddie jewelry, they were so beautiful. The girl told me they were new, and they weren't sure if they should have been included in the sale, but since they were sterling silver they gave me the 70% off price. I paid $30 for a Mickey necklace (mickey head with little pink, blue, green, and yellow stones outlining it), and $20 for a sterling silver tinkerbell hanging from a heart. They were so pretty....if I can remember tomorrow I will take a picture, and then had a $10 coupon, so I paid $40 for both. I also got my mom a pair of bronze pearl earrings to match a ring she had made at DTD. The earrings wear normally $299.99 and I paid $100.
I got 25% off the new Vera Bradley bags and wallets I got for my cousins in law.
It is late and now I forget my other good buys, but there were more. I will update tomorrow.
