After pouring over the ads Thursday after our turkey comas we decided that it might be fun and worth it to hit the Walmart and Target sales. Steven had to go into work at 7 to babysit the Ipad line and I also thought it would be fun to see my man in action. The Walmart sale started at 8 so we went there first. My head pretty much exploded. By the time we'd been in the store 15 seconds, mine and Heidi's tantrum tallies were already at one each. I just can't handle that many people all throwing elbows to get the same item. Plus to top it off Walmart is retarded and had stuff scattered through out the store. Steven was manning the Ipad line clear over in the frozen food isle. I was looking for some comforters they had for $24.99, do you think I could find them? No I could not. So needless to say we did not stay long. Kudos to people who brave that crap fest. Laron and Laura were able to get some pretty sweet deals, but they showed up at 6pm and sat around for 5 hours.
Seriously look at this ridiculousness
I don't know if Target was just much more organized or if the people were 90% less whiskey tango but we had a much more enjoyable experience. Walmart had actually stayed open all of Thanksgiving, but Target didn't open until 9. We arrived at about 9:15 so of course there was a line to get in. We parked approximately 15 miles away and walked over to what we thought was the end of the line. After standing there and watching people walk into the store for five minutes, we realized we weren't moving. It turned out that a bunch of people were just standing around by the barricade. What the hell people. We walked down and finally got in line behind these people.....
Who goes shopping in those shoes? I guess this lady was able to get the night off from the strip club to save some money on Christmas deals. That was really nice of her pimp. Heidi and Emily took like 150 pictures of these shoes before they got a couple of decent ones, I'm surprised her girly boyfriend (we seriously thought he was a girl until he turned around) didn't take them out.
We were able to get some great deals in Target. Heidi was able to get her GPS that she wanted and I got several things for Steven that I'm excited about. There were no shopping carts to be had so after about 20 minutes of shopping we were getting pretty uncomfortable carrying our stuff around. While we were perusing the baby cloths section, Heidi and I noticed a cart just sitting there with two razor scooters and a set of pajamas in it. We decided we were going to steal it. I got as far as throwing the pajamas on the floor and Heidi yelled that a guy was coming so we ran and hid behind a rack of cloths! He walked right by the cart so we ran back over and threw the other crap on the ground and made our get away with the cart. We are so stealthy we should be spies. The American government doesn't know what it's missing there.
Our loot and some random lady's bum.
The line to check out was really long. They had it winding up and down the isles to the back of the store and back up twice. It took us an hour and forty-five minutes. About an hour into our wait Ryan called that Jinny had been screaming, he says for the whole time we'd been gone but in reality it was probably 15 minutes. I ran Emily home so that she could feed her and then went back to finish waiting in line.
It was fun spending time with my sisters and mom but I'm not sure I'll be doing that again.
K Mart was a total bust...you couldn't find most of what the ad had. I think they had three of each deal and that was it.
