okay we just got back from shopping in Couer D'alene for the "Black Friday" sales phenomenon. In recent years I would only hear of the crazy antics that took place during their after Thanksgiving sales day. This year I actually was apart of it. My sisters and sister in law took to the road wednesday evening to travel to Idaho to take in the festivities. We took advatage of the deals on thursday even though many places were not open due to the Holidays but we still managed to score some sweet deals. However they were nothing and I mean NOTHING compared to the frenzy that took place Friday.
We were up at 2:30 friday morning and took to the stores we waited in line at Khol's for their 4am opening. Not finding what we were looking for we took to the road and headed into Spokane (luckily it was only 30 mins away) and stood in line at Toys 'R Us for their 5am opening to take advantage of their 50% off toys. We made out like bandits and I can see why there are all those crazy Americans out there who shop on this day. The deals are out of this world. We shopped from 4am to 6pm literally until we dropped and then got up Saturday morning to do it all over again. Although not so early and even though the deals were still awesome friday from 4-11 was where it was at. Needless to say the kids' Christmas shoppin gis DONE except for stocking stuffers.
Would I do it again? OH HELL YEAH!!!!! We've already made plans to head done next year. Only next year we will have a better idea of what to expect and we will be better prepared and know more of how the system works. We really need something like thins here in Canada. You really should see what I got for the money I took down. i can't even believe it and it's sitting here in my house.
