NOT MY BEST BUY
Some of you may recall that I've always loved waking up early to shop on the Friday after Thanksgiving. Now, I wasn't crazy enough to camp out all night for electronics, but I did go to the now-defuct Robinsons-May to get some great deals.
And last year, Karena and I, along with Sandra and Gabe, made the mistake of going to Camarillo's Midnight Madness sale where we waited for nearly 3 hours just to get IN to Banana Republic and waited another hour and a half to pay. By the time we got home, I jumped in the shower, got dressed, and went to work. After that I decided: No more Friday after Thanksgiving shopping.
But there I was, waking up at 2 am, getting ready to go to Best Buy after getting temped by a $350 laptop and some other amazing deals. I figured, if I got there well ahead of the 5am opening time, I'd be assured of getting some of these good deals.
Well, again, I learned that I should just stop doing the Friday after Thanksgiving shopping. I did not get any of the Best Buy best buys because they were all gone, even though I stood in the blistering cold for nearly three hours before going to work.
So, please help me. If I tell you I want to go shopping on the Friday after Thanksgiving, I give you permission to smack me upside the head. Thanks.
