Black Friday 2006 - Yes I'm Just A Little Crazy

So every year my husband and I set out into the mad world of the holiday madness known as Black Friday. Normally we leave the house at about 2:30 a.m. Well this year Circuit City had a laptop for $99.99 that my husband just had to have. Thinking we would be one of the first in line we left the house at 11:00 p.m. to go sleep in line. We ended up being to late. We were like number 25 in line and of course everyone in front of us wanted the same thing. So we ended up standing out there in the 45 degree weather for a little less than six hours. When the store finally opened we ended up buying a couple video games and DVD's instead. After spending an hour in the store we headed down to Best Buy picked out some more DVDs and walked around looking for the end of the line, which ended up being like a mile long. So we both looked at each other and said fuck this and left. Our next stop was Target. They had The Simpsons Season 8 for only $16.99 so that was a must buy for me no matter what. Jesse bought the Da Vinci Code and a video game and we were out of there within thirty minutes. After Target we took a breakfeast break at the drive-thru in McDonalds and headed off to Wal-Mart. To my surprise Wal-Mart was dead. It looked like any normal day at Wal-Mart. The cool thing about it though is they had one left of the item we went there for. The My Little Pony Crystal Princess Castle with 3 bonus ponies. So we picked it up and headed to checkout expecting the normal wait time of about 20 minutes. We only waited in the check out for like two minutes. We were very pleased with how Wal-Mart was this year compared to hype of how packed Wal-Mart gets on Black Friday. After Wal-Mart we had one more stop to make. Good old Coconuts where I used to work. We ended up buying more there than at any store. They had select titles of Television DVD's on sale buy 1 get 1 free. So I picked up South Park Season 6 and 7 to start my South Park collection. Jesse got an MP3 player for $9.99 and a DVD player for my uncle for only $9.99. It was around 8:30 a.m. once we were done and made our way home for some much needed sleep. All in all we had a pretty good time and got some great stuff for really good prices.
