Weeks before Black Friday arrived, I was looking online at what was going to be on sale. I didn't really find anything in the ads that I couldn't live without. I wasn't really feeling like getting up at 4am and standing in line when it's cold out. People kept asking me if I was going shopping on Black Friday and what deals I was going to go after. I would tell them that I didn't think that I was going to go this year.
Well, Thanksgiving day came and the ads came out (some that I didn't see online before) and my sister-in-law and I decided that we would go shopping, BUT we didn't go until after 8am. This was definitely a good time to go - we didn't miss out on anything that we were looking for and we got there after the mad rush! Oh, AND we didn't have to freeze our butts off in the cold!
I got a few things, but didn't go too overboard because I wanted to save some money for Minneapolis next week. My mother-in-law is flying back from Brazil on Wednesday, so Rachel (my sister-in-law) and I are going to leave for Mpls on Monday after I'm done working and she's done with school, so we can spend all day Tuesday shopping before mom flies in on Wednesday morning. Now, I just hope that we have enough room in the car for her luggage and all of the stuff that we buy! We are going to the Mall of America for sure and possibly Albertville Outlet Mall, so it could be interesting getting all of our stuff in! Wish us luck!
