So my SIL and I go out every year the day after thanksgiving, aka BLACK FRIDAY. We run through all the ads the day of Thanksgiving and make a game plan for Friday. Its very important that we know what we are going to buy. We make a list and check it twice. This year, we only had to stand in line for 20 minutes max. Granted we did abandon ship at Target. There were several people in line. The line wrapped around the store 2x! It was crazy....our theory is that we got there close to 7am so all the people in line were there for the 6am doorbuster deals.
We hit, Macy's, Target, Sears (which we thought was a Kmart), Family Christian, Home Depot,
Had a nap, and I could go for another one! :)
