Black Friday Shopping

On Black Friday, November 28 I got up at 5am and went shopping. Why is this a big deal? Well, I've never gone shopping on Black Friday. I am not a big shopper, plus I hate crowds. But, Maverick (who, by the way, has also not gone shopping on Black Friday) and I were looking at the ads and said, we should try getting up early and trying this once. So, I didn't go to bed until 12am and Maverick didn't go to bed until 2am, but we were up at 5am to get to Target and get in line at 5:30am.

Why Target? Well, Target is our store. We can get everything there that we've ever wanted - it's just so convenient and organized. You'll probably see us at Target at least once a week... so why not spend our early Black Friday morning with them as well?

So, we got in line at 5:30am, 30 minutes before it opened, and found that there were hundreds of people in front of us. When we got there, they gave us a map of the store that highlighted the popular things that were on sale. So, Maverick and I mapped out what we were going to get. When the doors opened, the people started running in... Whenever I saw this on television in the past, I never thought it was this crazy. So, Maverick went to his area and I went to mine. And, we walked out of the store with steals...

We got a GPS, external hard drive, vacuum cleaner, crock pot, DVDs - and all of those things were for us =D But, we also walked out with many gifts! It was amazing to get so many great deals. When we checked out, our receipts said that we had saved hundreds of dollars! =D

Will we shop on Black Friday again? I think so! We felt good and so accomplished when we walked outside of the store at 7am. We still had the whole day to sleep, plus we got some great things that we've wanted and needed!
