LOL, If Costco could buy out Sam Walton & Co. that would be hilarious!

PS Sam's Club is named after Sam Walton the founder of Wal-Mart. Costco is out of Kirkland, WA and their own company.



I'll be back to report on my Black Friday after I run to Whole Foods.

Yes, it is...it happens every year the day after Thanksgiving. Me and my mom went out to the mall at about 6:30am and i got some pretty good snags at express and anchor blue and finish line aaaaaaaaaaaaannndd a few others stores as well. lol It was not as bad as i was expecting other than the alarm constantly going off in all the stores mainly express since the line was curled around the store! We went to Target after and i bought a zune(not on sale) and a few dvd's then went to the block (another mall) It was overall a very fun day!:tup:

LOL love your story OP.

Anyhow, I initially had no plans on going anywhere near a mall on Black Friday. Me being me, I was really impatient to get something that I really wanted from Chanel so I decided to risk it.

I went to Ala Moana shopping center and there was traffic on the way, but that was due to the fact that there was a HUGE football game for the University of Hawaii that had traffic backed out from the football stadium.

Anyhow, after I passed that traffic on the freeway it was clear sailing all the way to the mall! I found parking sooo easily. I just parked at the complimentary valet at Neiman Marcus! It was so quick and so easy. I was really surprised and happy that they weren't full. I tipped the valet guy $5 anyways when I got back though so technically it wasn't "free". Whatever, saves me the hassle of driving around for 20 minutes trying to find parking in a busy mall with rude drivers.

I got exactly what I wanted (not on sale) and went home straight after! Okay, so I didn't really get anything of a bargain on black Friday, but that's about as far as it went for shopping on my part. I can't do the whole camping thing lol. Unless Chanel did a Black Friday sale, then I'd camp out WAY before lol.

The Boise game was AWESOME!! I miss Hawaii so much. :P I would have been one of those at Ala Moana on Black Friday... I heard it wasn't as bad as the outlet.

My Black Friday experience was really great. I did the Coach thing and was 2nd in line I got everything I wanted (and then some) and dealt with the crowds at the other stores. Banana Republic had an hour long line to checkout. Overall, I spent maybe 5 hours shopping all together and got some great deals.

I forgot to add, to add an extra twist, Walmart added "Secret Items" scattered around the store. Those items were not told to the public at all of what they were. And at 4am they came out with maps of the secret items that were scattered around! It was like a scavenger hunt!! :tup:

Hysterical! I love the happy tunnel. I only wish I had the stamina and desire to shop on black friday. Maybe someday, but I do give props to all those of you who headed out.

Dh and I went out later in the day, but we didn't line up anywhere. Amazingly, the parking lots really emptied out everywhere after 1 pm when all the "doorbuster" sales ended! But we weren't really deal hunting; we just wanted to look at toys together and decide on things for the kids.

But we will be looking for a big screen HDTV next year, so I may have to camp out then!

I didnt go anywhere. I went to Saks off fifth the day before TG and did save some money with the 25% off total purchase offer they had. I am glad you guys scored all these great deals,.

OP, did you camp for 48 hours??? that is crazy. You DID it!!

I did not go out until around 10 a.m. Most of what I wanted was electronic items and some of it ended up online, it was a little more with shipping and tax but I did not have to go out.

no not 48 hours in front of the store, i had to run around town/home for the first day just to find all the crap. we moved last year when we sold out house to a suuuuuper small apt. (waiting for a new house because housing market is still falling) so i had to look at all the storage places for all the gear. plus before that, i was cooking for thanksgiving. ha.
