This was my second time shopping on Black Friday, only today I had to wake up at 0430 to go. Last time I shopped after a night shift at a hospital. That was 18 years ago!
Mary and I willingly got up and dressed and headed to our local K-Mart for a few good buys on kitchenware. After all, Mary will be cooking meals at school next year, living in a house with 5 other people. How can you pass up a deal of 16 pieces of cookware for $20 and a hand mixer for $10? We arrived only 5 minutes after KMart opened and there were no shopping carts left and we had a great parking spot (cough cough) first spot at the end! We meandered to the kitchen section and there were none on the shelf. Really? Five minutes after they opened? So we looked at some other small kitchen appliances when I noticed a mountain of them in one of the main aisles! Woohoo! Mary got her red pots and pans with utensils. Good thing we got up early, they were going quick! It was interesting to watch all these other people shopping. We were definitely out of our league here. There was one lady with a bike in her shopping cart. There was a line to get into the audio/visual department. Our decision was "let's go"! The checkout lines were pretty slow and long. We stood in line as long as it took to find our two items. Unfortunately, we got hot standing there in line with everyone else, only they had carts of stuff instead of two things. We both started feeling a little ill in line, but survived and made it home.
Meanwhile, Matthew and Jeff are on their own adventure. Radio Shack, Best Busy and the Apple Store. I wish them the best...and will report their success later on. Now for a little more shut eye before work.
