I awoke early this morning to go shopping with Emily and Penny in hopes of catching some great black Friday deals. We mapped out all the places we wanted to go the day before and met at 3:30 am.
Our first stop was Kohl's. We stood in the freezing cold line outside for about 25mins. Once the doors were opened, we made our mad dash into the store and went our separate ways to get the items we were hoping for. It was a success! We were out of there in about 20 minutes.
We then headed for Walmart. The store was already open, but the door busters were not for sale until 5:00am. This store was actually high on my priority list as I was hoping to get a motorized jeep for Thomas for Christmas. Once we were in the store I waited until 5am in the jeep line at which time they were going to hand out tickets. I was #8 in line and they had 16 jeeps to sale. I waited patiently in line chatting with the other customers while we waited. Everyone was extra friendly. At 5am I got my ticket, grab a few other items and went to the cashier to check out. While I was paying for my items, I was told that I would need to drive back behind the store to pick up my item. I asked if I needed to do that now or if I could come back later today. The lady told me that since I had already paid, there should be no problem coming back later and picking up the jeep. As I left Walmart I asked the person checking my receipt at the door again if it would be okay to come back later and pick my jeep up. Once again, I was told that should be fine. I had paid for the item, so Walmart would have to hold on to the item for me. So we loaded up the suburban with our goods and headed to the next store.
It seemed we were having perfect luck as all of us where able to get the door busters we were hoping for. A few hours later after shopping at several other stores, we decided to go back and pick up my jeep from Walmart.
Once, we pulled up we were told that they had over sold the jeep and did not have a jeep for me to pick up. I was told that I would need to speak to Gary the manager and he would take my name and phone number. They were hoping they would get more in, but could not guarantee it. I then switched stories and told Gary that I was hoping to give this to my son today for his birthday and was disappointed that they had over sold the item. The manager was very apologetic and said he would make it up to me. He ended up giving me my pick of all the motorized vehicles on the shelve. I ended up picking out an F150 Ford Truck aka a MONSTER TRUCK! The price on the shelve was $360.00, I paid only $88. I scored big time! Later while Gary was helping me load it into the back of my suburban, he told me I had scored big time today. I agreed with him thinking in my mind about the truck verses the jeep while he continued to speak about scoring big today because of the free twine they were giving me to try down my back window. I chuckled because he wasn't meaning the truck which is exactly what I was thinking. This by far was my best deal of the day.
Us girls had a fun morning. You should of seen the back of my suburban. The third row seat was folded down and we filled the back with all of our purchases. When I pulled up to have the Ford F150 loaded in the back. I told the gentlemen that I would need to do a quick rearranging. When I opened up the back they couldn't believe their eyes. I told them that is what you get when three women go shopping on black Friday morning. They chuckled and helped me move the sacks up front. I wasn't sure where we were going to put everything but in the end we did manage to fit everything in.
