Black Friday 2008

Yes, I did go shopping.  Yes, I did get up at 4 AM.  4 AM!  And yes, I did score a few deals, but really - I should have just stayed home this year as I scored this - on Amazon.com at 4:05 that morning.  They went on sale at 12AM PST, so for us on the east coast that is 4AM.  And lucky for me, I had signed up for Amazon texting service, so they would text me as soon as one/it became available.  AND I paid the same price as I would have if I would have stood in line at Walmart for HOURS. 

However, I did still go to walmart to get a few deals.  I did go a little overboard though - so about $100 worth of stuff is going back.  Actually, I realized that I really didn't want to give some of the kids the gifts I got, and that I could have gotten them something that they would really like (hopefully) for not that much more...

This was the big score of the day:

And this was the icing on the cake:

Then I went a little crazy and bought 4 games, 2 'classic' wireless remotes, and the remotes that go with the sports.  Now we cannot go grocery shopping for 2 weeks - oh well - we should have plenty to eat here in the house, and it will be worth the sacrifice.  Oh, btw - I did purchase the Wii console with my profits from my Uppercase Living sales, I'm so proud of myself.  However, that 'extra' account is now empty.  Time to have some more parties I guess...but without that extra money - purchasing the wii would have been too far out of our budget this year.  So for that, I'm thankful!

Ok, so did you get a killer deal on the price? I didn't see them go down at all... did they? I did get a few games - have had te console in the bedroom for a month or more now and a Fit that was to be my MIL's b-day present in November... that BIL got her before I did - drat it! Oh, well - we now have a fit. They're fun. We may have to break it out early so we'll have something to play with while she's here for Christmas!! Donna
