Kathy and her mom do the Black Friday shopping. Everything is very tactical and planned out.
First we spent the day having Thanksgiving with her family. I don't know most of them that well, so it's nice to get the opportunity to spend more time with them. We did a name draw then pretty much split for the start of this shopping odyssey.
Its Thanksgiving day at 4:30pm. We are currently at Michael's Craft Store.
Michael's didn't last too long. Walmart was crazy and we picked up several of the door buster items that people on our shopping lists had asked for. It is now "black friday" by a half hour.
To my understanding it's called black Friday because stores draw you in with specially priced items that they are willing to take a loss on then make their money when you pick up other items that are not on sale. I think that Wally world lost their butts on us. Besides door buster items we picked up a paper towel roll holder for $2.98 and a can of cream of chicken soup at a whopping $1.25. We even got one item for $25 less than it should have been because of a typo in the sale ad. It would have been like $50.00.
Next is Meijers, Target, Sams Club, and Menards. 5 hour energy is good food.
5am and we are waiting in line to enter Menards. technically it is a hardware store but they have some crazy stuff for a nut and bolt shop: toys, clothes, candy, electronics... Kat is such a sweetheart. Some lady in line is talking to us "The only thing I couldn't find was that tea kettle on sale...". Kathy tells her that she will look for it because she has to go find some other things too. Kat comes back with two colors for the lady to choose from right as she's checking out.
We finished off the day with Sams club, target, and meijer. Do not have the strength to blog further.
