Normally no. But for some reason I woke up at 2am & couldnt get back to sleep so I figured while I was up I might as well get some good deals. And yes, I got everything I wanted. :)

Yes I braved it and went to Kmart. they had blanket sleepers for toddlers for 3.99 and disney set outfits for 3.99 as well. I got a ton of stuff for my dd and nephew. What should have cost me 180.00 only cost me 78.00 so I was pretty happy.

Yes we did. We were at Kohl's at 3:30AM, got nearly everything we went for. I still did not get a dress for myself, but I grew tired of trying clothes on! LOL All the toys we went for we got, though. That was the money saving part that we really went for anyhow. I thought it was pretty fun-it was our first time ever going...

I worked Black Friday at JCP.

All I can say is it was sad. I mean really sad. It just amazed me how horrible people were to one another.

Mind you... at JCP almost everything we had on sale today we have had on sale for the same price in the last four weeks.

And will have again sometime in Dec.

But you would think we were giving a million dollars away.

People were fighting over comforters, pillows, and clothes.

They were literally fighting with cashiers over a couple of dollars.

They threw clothing on the floor. Unfolded towels and tossed them anywhere. Destroyed Christmas decorations. Over flooded the toilets. Tore apart advertising price signs to see if there were better deals underneath. They were throwing shoes all over the place. Yelling, complaining, arguing, pushing, shoving... the works.

I was amazed. I could not believe what I was seeing.

And then a women at the local Toys R Us was trampled.

The police had to direct traffic at Wal Mart and K mart.

I saw a woman slap the snot out of her kid. I wanted to beat her ass. All because the child was tired and hungry. He was maybe 2.

I had to listen to people cuss and scream about little snow globes JCP gave out for free. We ran out before 5 am. We had 300 to hand out.

Seriously... the spirit of Christmas is dead. Thanksgiving is the forgotten holiday. I would rather live in the mountains with nothing than go shopping on Black Friday.

My mom, 2 of my sisters and I went out at 2 am.  We really didn't have any lists of what we wanted, but we did get a few things.  I really want to get boots!
