Got up at 3 am to go shopping and got to the store only to find everything already out and you could put it in your cart etc you just couldn't pay until 5am. Ruined all the fun lol 95% of the stuff I wanted you could get online anyway just had to get a few things. Spent more time waiting to pay than anything.
My DH is a little upset about the sale at WalMart today too! He went for a laptop for my SD for her birthday/christmas. Was in line for 30 minutes only to find out that starting at 3am people were given vouchers to get the computer, allowed to go do more shopping, and come back later with the voucher. He is not happy!! I on the other hand, had two little girls in my bed to snuggle, and am not watching Noggin, having hot chocolate with my babies!!
I have still never, ever gone out on Black Friday. It's already 11pm where I'm at, and I'm still in my pjs. I used the day to clean house and get ready to decorate for Christmas. I just can't see the deals being worth fighting the crowds ... maybe I would understand if I went, but then I'm not sure I want to understand.
We are going to venture out in a bit since my oldest 2 girls are still at their dads. We aren't going until most of the hype is over. We are just going to look not planning on buying unless we see something.
Did you get everything you were looking for then? I heard that they were giving out wristbands and vouchers at most stores but thought that wasn't happening until 5 am.

Well there's a bunch of hoopla at our Wal-Mart because they were handing out tickets for the laptops last night. They were sold out at 10PM. However, 90% of the stuff was bundled up until 4:58 when people started ripping them apart.

I love me some shopping and some deals...but never even remotly enough to wake my ass up at 3 am for them. Plus crowds piss me off so it just wouldn't be pretty.
At least people by you weren't camping out. There were people camped out since yesterday at 5pm in tents in the cold lol!!!
