Last night Vicki and I braved black friday. I'm not going to lie I was absolutely terrified that it was going to be bad & we were going to die. BUT to my surprise it really wasn't that bad. Walmart was starting sales on everything but electronics at 10pm. So we got there around 9:30, I was kind of worried we wouldn't get what we want because we didn't show up early enough, but we asked around & found out where the toys were. Vicki really only wanted one thing, so if we didn't get it, it wasn't going to be the end of the world. We saw this girl looking in all the boxes so I asked her if she knew where the toy was, she pointed way down, so I walked that way incase she was right. SHE WAS WRONG LOL. Another lady really wanted barbies & someone told her they were down farther too...so she left. A few mins later this lady told me she could see in the box and it was the barbies, so I went to find the girl & let her know that she was actually right by them and it was for sure for sure that that is were they are. She was so happy I told her she told me she loved me HAHA. I was really happy to just be able to help her get what she wanted:) About 9:45 for some reason people started opening all the boxes. I think what happened was that the employees were starting to open them & everyone decided to help...wellll...they weren't supposed to. At first I was scared to join in because I didn't want to get in trouble, but after few seconds I decided to dig in LOL. A few mins into the craziness we found the toy we were looking for. And then some:) I found these brats dolls and grabbed 4 incase those were the barbies the girl wanted. An older lady who was clearly having trouble getting through with her cart and well the fact that she was pretty old asked where I got them..I had 4, I didn't want any of them. So I gave her two of them, she looked really happy about that:) Then Vicki bought one, and I put the other one back. Everyone I came a cross was super friendly, except this freaky amish lady -she was very rude LOL. We grabbed everything we wanted & headed for the check out, assuming the lines were going to be horrible. NOPE! Not even a line at all -yes at walmart can you believe it? So as we were ringing up our stuff we noticed the floor mats were ringing up as 12 bucks, and we were told they were only 5. They pulled the AD out and showed us they were 12, I got one anyways because I had really wanted one for Alyssa..plus its princess:) And $12 is a great price! As we were talking to the manager there was a girl behind us that only wanted to buy 3 things, I told her to go ahead & check out before us. She thanked me like 4 times and told me I made her night lol. It was so cute. We got checked out & everything...leaving walmart at 10:14...talk about making amazing time!
We then headed over to the basset center mall to wait in line at kohls. We got there around 10:30 and there was hardly any line. Im so glad we got there when we did because the line started forming shortly after that. We met some really cool people in line there too, and talked to them almost the whole time. This lady even let Vicki use her nail polish haha. They let us in at midnight and people went CRAZY for a second haha. We all ran to the escalator which turned off because of the weight haha it was soo funny. Vicki grabbed a cart & I followed her. I was scared to lose her so I didn't grab one, which was a horrible idea. We ran up the toys & we were the FIRST ones up there. We just starting throwing stuff in the cart, it was awesome. Before we knew it our cart was full and we were trying to juggle things. We ended up finding two bags and filled those both. We both really wanted this walker thing for just $10 and couldn't find them anywhere. We were a little bummed but we really didn't understand why they were gone because we were the first to the toys. So we started walking around & saw a guy with 3 in his hands, we asked where he got them & he pointed to the other side of the store & said there was none left. We walked in a circle to check things out...and I was saying 'man I really hope we randomly find at least one of those, two would be ideal' and BOOM it was like they fell from the sky because Vicki was like LOOK and pointed UNDER THE CLOTHES on a shelve haha. There was probably 10 left, so we each grabbed one and were very happy campers. We then went around AGAIN to see what we missed haha. Eventually we decided our hands were too full, and it was time to check out. Soo we waited in line, which felt like 10 years LOL. Then we took everything out to the car, got in circled around the parking lot (so people didn't know we were going back in after unloading our stuff)..and went back for more. We took our time this time and really looked around, the line wasn't so bad the second time around and we ended up leaving pretty close to 3am. We deff got everything we wanted and then some:)
While I was at kohls I was commenting on EVERYONES stuff I saw on facebook about the PX asking about the line, because Vicki really wanted to get her husband an xbox for $100. We kind of figured she wouldn't be able to, but figured it was worth a shot. Ashley is amazing and called me to let me know they had been in line for a few hours and we could just stand with them. We were a tad worried that people would say something but no one did. Thankfully. We went in, and Vicki ran straight for the xboxs and I went for the games. Both already sold out. So we wandered over by the toys to see what was going on there. I got two little books that sing and make noise, one for me & one for Sandras daughters. Go figure she already has is, haha. So I decided to give it to Vicki!:) Vicki got a hello kitty christmas tree LOL. Its super cute! Then we were super tired & decided to call it a night.
At the end of the night I spent: $204.37. I have a mail in rebate for the toaster oven I got, which I hateeee those stupid things & didn't realize it had one or I probably wouldn't have bought it lol. With that I get $10 back, which drops my total down to $194.37. THEN I got $15 kohls cash for every $50 you spend. So I got $45 so spend however I want:) Which then drops my total down to $148.37, but I mean not really its more just $45 in free stuff but whatever:) Based on my receipts I saved $234.61. But one of the toys at walmart was originally $50 and I paid $25. Then I dont know how much I saved at the PX because I don't remember the actual price of the toys I got..but I want to say they were at least $15-20 bucks.
So I would say I made out wonderfully. I got myself like 7 shirts I believe, all for $5. Alyssa, A TON of toys & a toast oven that I have wanted forever! Amazing!:D Thank you black friday, and esp kohls for have such great savings & for the %15 off our whole order:D
