Well, I decided there wasn't a chance in hell I was going to drag my happy ass out of bed before the sun came up this morning. No thanks, all set with that. Now, I get that there are "great deals" and "doorbusters" at all the retailers, but I'm not fully convinced that there has ever been a deal on something I actually was interested in purchasing. To me, it's kind of like shopping at Shaw's. Sure, I can save a couple of bucks, but I'm not necessarily buying something I would normally want or buy.
Kerrigan and I did, however, decide to brave the crowds later in the morning, around 9 o'clock. We assumed the crowds would still be big, but at the very least we would have full bellies from Governor's first! After grabbing breakfast we went to Best Buy, tooled around for a bit and walked out empty handed. Then we went to my favorite retailer in all the world, Wal-Mart. Why is it my favorite retailer you ask? Have you ever been there? It's amazing. You can't walk out of that place without seeing at least one person that cracks you up for one reason or another. Well, we were not disappointed. We left here pretty much empty handed too. I got another package of cough drops and a tree ornament for Kerrigan, which is a yearly tradition for us.
All in all, we survived our abbreviated version of shopping on Black Friday. Things I learned today would be that I still hate shopping on Black Friday, even later in the morning. I've decided that I want to shop online or at small, local retailers from now on. Either that or everyone is getting a case of home brew this year. I'm just saying...
About Me
- Mark
- I've always wondered if people actually read this stuff. I never do when I'm on other pages. Well, in case, for some strange reason, you find it necessary, I'll give you a little knowledge. I was born in The County. For those of you who don't konw better, that would be Aroostook County. For those of you who do, your jokes won't work on me, they are lame. I'm the son of an investment banker that squandered his every penny on tuna fish sandwiches in the late 80's, and my mother was the lead singer for the Bangles. Neither of those is true, but again, I'm convinced nobody is reading this anyways. I met my wife at a carnival, and we were married by the bearded lady in front of the entire clown brigade. I have a daughter who is training for the 2012 Olympics where she will compete in the Triple Jump and Javelin. We live in a nice little shanty in the woods and are hoping to one day have running water. Any questions?
