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.
