Well I am one of the millions of people who went out on Thanksgiving night, waited in long lines and braved 30 degree weather for deals. The big difference between me and a lot of other people is…. I didn’t care for electronics, or any of the big items.
First I did a Fyrflyz demonstration at Toys R Us, although no one seemed interested. It was fun though, I did not shop at Toys R Us though.
Then I hit Walmart and I am lucky I showed up a little early, It was packed. I was in and out in an hour. Let me tell you though Walmart needs some organization skills. the only deals that were blocked off were the electronics. Before 10 I had all the clothes that were on sale and toys.
The one thing I was really upset about was they said line up here to get a appliance, and I did. I was 6th in line and should have got what I wanted, but then the employee changed his mind and said line up behind what you want. The crowds rushed, pushed and shoved, and I got nothing. Another really annoying thing, I was looking for the Disney Storybooks, and the character T-shirts for $2.97. Well after 10 employees saying I have no idea, I finally found the storybooks. I never found the shirts though I asked at least 5 more people and got the same answer. So I missed out on that deal.
This is my Walmart Buys
The checkout line was one big line that was way to long.
Next I hit Target:
The line to get in the store was around the whole building. And I was around 2/3 of the building. Once they opened though, I got in quick. I only wanted a few things, so I was in and out really quick. No pushing, or fighting there.
This is my buys from target
I was done with these two stores by 12:30 am
I came home slept, then I was up an back out at 4:20
I hit Kmart, to my surprise there was only 30 people that showed up. I could of snagged a big screen Tv if I wanted.
My buys from Kmart:
The main thing I bought was Clothes, which is all I really wanted.
I saved over $100, which is good for me.
Disclosure: No compensation was received for this post.
I didnt go to the BF deals and I havent for years although I am a big fan of Cyber Monday! One place I wouldnt go is WalMart- there were way too many people hurt in those stores they really need to plan better.
Good haul !
