Black Friday

Last year was my very first year to go Black Friday shopping. At the very last minute my best friend/cousin/sister-in-law saw that the Dyson Vacuum I was wanting was for sale at Target for $299.00. I was up at 3 a.m. and we set out to Target. I got my vacuum and I was hooked. I was really looking forward to going this year. The plan was to go to Target at 4 a.m. Again at the last minute we decided to go to Kohl's at 3 a.m. and then at the very very last second we decided to brave Wal-Mart at midnight. 

Wal-Mart was by far the craziest, but still nothing outrageous. I got pots and pans and dishes for my sister who is moving into her first house soon. I also got some toys for the kiddos in the family, and the best part, we were in and out in less than 30 minutes. 

Next we headed to Tulsa, about a 45 minute drive from where we live. We got to Kohls at about 2:30. The line was SO LONG. So we decided to wait in the car and go in once the line started moving. Somehow we ended up getting in toward the front of the line, we didnt cut they just opened the doors and no one was using that one so we took advantage. I was sucessful again and get several scarf sets, and some really cute slippers, and the pillows I wanted. Again in and out in 30 minutes!!! 

Target was next. We decided to split up there and get what we needed. I got the best stuff at Target! 

I was able to get the Kitchenaid knife set for my step dad for $24.99, and I got the red kitchenaid pots and pans for myself for $99!! I registered for these for our wedding and I was bummed that I didn't get them! I love them, although I haven't had the chance to use them yet. 

All in all my Back Friday was a success, and I actually encountered nice, polite people. I will keep doing it as long as I keep finding good deals! Its fun!

In other news, Thanksgiving was delicious. Small gathering of immediate family. My Christmas decorations are up, but I am still tweaking so it will be another week ago before I share. I am excited because the exterior of our house is complete this year, so I am able to do a little decorating outside. I can't seem to get the husband on board with putting lights on the house, but I haven't given up yet! 


I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!
