I braved Black Friday for the first time this year. It went really well and was not as bad as I expected. It was surprising to see so many people out at 4am!
Pat and I decided we'd try shopping this year and made a plan. We had 4 stores we wanted to visit on different sides of town, so we split up. I was at JCPenney and saved (a lot!) on the jewelry I bought. I then went to Belk that opened at 5am. I stood in a long line outside for a few minutes before the doors opened. I got a gift card for being one of the first 250 people and just about everything was 50% off!
Pat was victorious, too, and bought a 42" flat screen HDTV. He tried Wal-Mart first but left before customers started throwing punches! He said it was mayhem. To get the TV, he stood in line for almost an hour at HHGregg and got the last one of its kind in the store.
It was definitely an experience, and I saved a ton of money. I'm amazed that people will fight over material things. (Luckily, I didn't see that!) I'd rather pay full price instead of being part of any of that craziness.
