My sister mentioned during Thanksgiving dinner that Walmart had a good deal on something my husband had been planning to get for the family anyway. Mom offered to buy it for us as our gift and practically shoved us out the door. We got there about 3 hours early and were about 10th in line so we had no trouble getting a ticket. One of us just had to stay in line until they officially went on sale at 10pm. Apparently Black Friday started on Thursday this year.
While there, I noticed this FurReal cat my daughter wants. I think it is creepy, but it is the only thing she has asked for. It was $20 instead of $70 (insanity) so I went to stand by that pallet about 9:30pm to wait for them to cut the wrapping at 10pm.
Everyone was nice and it was pretty calm during the wait, but you could hear the store buzzing louder and louder as 10pm approached. That was weird. I got the cat easily, helped a lady get the doll she wanted and headed back to my husband.
The small appliance section was on my way and those people were nuts! I thought I’d check out the $2.47 waffle iron since I was already there. I got to that pallet by 10:03 (things move FAST) and several people already had 7 or 8 piled in their carts and loaded in their arms. I think a lot of people will be getting waffle irons for Christmas!
Then I went to find my husband. He had the xbox in hand and was standing in a bottleneck like a trapped and very confused animal. He was entirely out of his element. I guided him through the craziness and we were out of the store by 10:15. It was a small taste of the crazy.
