I am happy to say that I survived Black Friday 2007 and I hope that if you went out this morning in the week hours of the morning to grab those early morning deals that the retailers that were offering that you survived as well! I spent the night with my mom last night and she and I were up at 2:30 this morning and out the door shortly after3:00 so that we could be ready to hit Kohl’s when they opened at 4:00 this morning. I was able to grab a couple of the micro fleece blankets they had for $7.99 as well as a few things for the kids. My mom got some great deals on clothes for the kids and she also got my gift, which is a gorgeous comforter set for my bed. From Kohl’s we headed over to Walmart where I snagged up my new crockpot and a pair of memory foam slippers. I also managed to get 4 oversized bath towels in 2 packs for $3.84 per package. Other than that, there really wasn’t much at Walmart that we wanted.
After Walmart we went and grabbed breakfast and planed our next stops which were Kmart, the mall (JC Penney, Sears, Aeropostle and Elder Beerman), then ran to Meijer. At that point I was tired (it was 9:00), and I was fed fed up with my step sister in law, who met up with us a Kohl’s at 4:00 AM and had yet to do anything but whine even though she hadn’t bought a damn thing! After the fiasco with her and her daughters last year my sister swore they’d never go with us again, only to insist that they ride with us from the time we left Kohl’s. So I informed my mom that I would not be going next year if they were going, I have nothing but disgust for this woman. I have tried for years to be decent to her and treat her with respect, even though she has always been a bitch to me in the 24 years I’ve known her, but no matter what I do, no matter how many times I try to talk to her and be nice to her, she is nothing but a bitch to me. And in the 4 hours that she “hung out with us” this morning without buying a single thing, she constantly whined and then examined everything that my mother bought as well as making sure she knew what my mothers total purchases came to. It makes for a VERY unenjoyable experience, and frankly I’m done! Next year I’ll go out with my hubby and we can shop just the two of us. By then the kids will be 13 and almost 16 and more than old enough to be home alone during the wee hours of the morning.
But, I’m HOME! I will be heading out again in a couple of hours to take my daughter to her favorite store so we can grab a few things that we have coupons for. Other than that, I’m not going ANYWHERE the rest of the weekend…LOL!
