Black Friday....Great Deals!

We debated and discussed and we decided to go out on Black Friday, well technically it was still Thanksgiving when we went out. You see, here the Walmart's opened at midnight to let people wait and avoid the mad dash door stampede that usually happens at 5 am. So we took advantage of this and got to Walmart at midnight and found where all the items we wanted were (carefully hidden under black wrap) and waited 5 hours, with the kids to get our great deals!

It so paid off, we got a GPS which will come in really handy down here for $59, the kids needed new jammies so those were $3 what great deals! I also got a hand mixer for $4. The deal with that is Leroy said I can't burn this one up. The first 2 months after I moved in I burned up 2 hand mixers and haven't had one since. So this time I promise not to mix cookie dough with it and burn it up =) Walmart did a great job at keeping the "Hot Items" under wraps and making lines for those cheap T.V's and computers. It was so much better than I've seen in years past. The only sad thing is it took an employees death last year for them to make it a smooth day. Also went to Old Navy and got jeans for super cheap but had to wait an hour in line to pay for them.

My one confusion was people buying these huge bubble jackets down here. Seriously, it was 80 degrees on Thanksgiving and doesn't get cold down here, why do you need to get a huge jacket even if it is only $15? I'll never understand some things =) Hope everyone had a safe and fun day after Thanksgiving & got some great deals!
