I wasn't crazy enough to stay up/get up and go out to Walmart or Kohl's or any of those store for their Black Friday doorbuster deals this year. I did get up around 4 am to try to order some things online, but I couldn't find any of the things I wanted in stock, so I gave up and went back to bed.
Mom and I hit Meijer around 11 am and we got some good deals on a few items. I didn't really get much of my Christmas shopping done, but I did get a few things. I picked up 5 or 6 kid games for $3.99 each (5 went to work for our Community Service Project -we adopted a family for Christmas- and 1 went into the White Elephant gift exchange at my family Thanksgiving/Christmas). I also got a 9 picture frame collage for $9.99 (which was at least 50% off the regular price). I had originally intended to give it to my Secret Santa person at work, but now I'm thinking that I want to fill it with pics of me, Jake and my brothers and give it to my mom. :)
Mom and I went halvsies on a couple of purses (buy 1, get 1 for $1), so I got something for myself, but at least I got a really good deal on it. :D
All-in-all, it was a decently successful trip, AND I didn't have to worry about being run over, bitten, slapped or kicked by anyone since the sales were mostly done by the time we got there.
