Black Friday Weekend

OMG! Was it crazy or what?!? I knew I wasn't going to wait outside the store, like I did several years ago, so I got up casually around 4-ish and did some shopping online (Amazon = awesome!) while I was still in my PJ's. Then decided to meet my family up at Frys (keep in mind that I've never gone to Frys on blk Friday). I notice that parking was kind of hectic but I got my parking space fairly quick. I've arrived there around 6-ish. I thought that all the electronic was gone by then and was pretty optimistic about their appliances still being available. We got inside, it was SOLD OUT! I was fairly shock! So, I said that we had to go else where to shop for deals on appliances this blk Friday. As I was heading out, we saw some deals on Blue-Ray Discs and I decided to buy them. As soon as I was heading towards the check out line I've notice these snake-lines going in and out of the aisles. It seems like the lines never end! Then I remember distinctly as I enter the store I saw an employee holding a "end of line" sign, which had balloons attached to sign. I then realize that the lines actually starts when I enter the store. Literally! If you can imagine the line starts at one end of a U and then ended at the other end while weaving in and out of each aisle. Yup, that's what I went through! It was truly a marketing genius! Why was it pure genius you ask? Because all of the customers had to see everything in store and perhaps they'll pick something up along the way. Not only that, but there were employees walking around trying to sell the "protection plan" and other items that might go with those LCD HDTV. Boy, it was sure tempting to snag the deals they had that day! It took us nearly two-hours to check out. Not so sure it was worth the wait for those Blue-Ray Discs I brought but when I think about it, I've saved several hundreds. I just wanted to know how much their sales number increase that day! Ka-Ching!!
Then we're off to Sears for some appliances and saved thousands. This was a pretty decent place to shop. The crowd was just right. Not too busy at all! We snag some deals on a frig and washer/dryer. From there, next stop was Target. There was just a few minor things that we're eyeing at Target so going there wasn't a priority. The crowds died down around 11:30-ish and getting in and out of there was a breeze. Our final stop was at Macy*s home, OMG! The sheets was a bargain. That's if you're looking in the clearance section and their morning specials. We ended up snagging a few items because their morning special was coming to an end. This pretty much conclude my Blk Friday shopping. Overall, we got what we wanted and I'm glad that at the end of my day, it was fairly successful.

Questions:
Am I going back to Frys on Blk Friday day? No, if I'm going alone but YES, if I have someone going with me(one will do all the shopping and the other will stay in line).
