Black Friday Mania


Its days like Black Friday when I am so thankful to live in a small town.

 

Yes I did go black Friday shopping but I surprisingly did not have to wait in line, at all.

I got to Wal-Mart at about 11:30 Thanksgiving night and surprisingly did not run into a crowd at all. I had never really been Black Friday shopping so I was eager to find out what all the fuss was about. I wasn’t too impressed by the sales at Wal-Mart so we moved on to Target where we lucked out again with the crowd. There I was amazed with some of the deals I found. I bought my mom two complete season of the show Bones for $16. And if I wouldn’t have limited myself to strictly Christmas shopping I would have purchased some of their new releases that were being sold for only $9. After that we went to the mall where multiple stores had all merchandise on sale for 40% off.

 

Now having officially gone Black Friday shopping I do understand why people do it, though I’m not sure I could year after year. Luckily I went shopping in my hometown rather than STL so I could avoid the crazy lines and the crazy drivers. Although I didn’t arrive at any of the stores when they first opened, I did not witness any unnecessary roughness between shoppers. But I’m sure if I would have done my shopping in a bigger city, my tentative nature would have been taken advantage of a pushed aside by more serious shoppers.
