I braved the Black Friday madness...

in Parenting after 35

And not really intentionally.  I didn't do the midnight thing, but for some reason, I woke up at 5:00 a.m and couldn't get back to sleep.  So off to Toys R Us I went.  The crowd was manageable but most of the toys I was interested in weren't on sale.  I walked out with one toy (50% off), though plenty of others had their carts overflowing.

Then, I hit Target for some odds and ends (including a toy that was not on sale--go figure) and then went to the mall for clothes for DH, DS and myself.  There were some good deals out there, but definitely no reason to be there at midnight!

Any other crazy shoppers out there?

    Not me. I woke up at the usual time then turned on the computer and saw this story.

    Oh, my.  People are seriously crazy.  Thank God I didn't witness anything like that at all.

    You were probably right by me, today. I'm pretty sure that we're in the same county (won't say which one). I stayed FAR away from the mall in my town until dinner time when I splurged (messed up my WW) on Fatburger and a strawberry milkshake.

    Yes.  I was up at midnight and hit TRU when they opened at 9 (ended up in line for a bit), Wal-Mart (which was surprisingly quick when you're just getting some Hot Wheels cars and Plax) and Kohl's, which was sheer madness and probably won't do again now they stopped letting people check out with everything at jewelry if you buy jewelry.

    Nah, not us.  We woke up at our regular time and went to Target and Ross around 8am.  No lines, no violence, no problemSmile

    Ha...yes, you know where I was!  It's definitely one-stop shopping there between the mall, Target, Carter's, TRU, Michael's and Pier One all in the same complex. Oooh...and Panera!  Can't forget Panera!

    Yikes!!  I prefer to sleep in on Black Friday!!  I don't understand why people would go to jail for a cheap TV instead of just buying one on sale! Good thing you didn't run into any crazy's Strunella!
