Did I ever tell you how much I LOVE Black Friday? Seriously, I love it more than Thanksgiving Day. I plan for WEEKS what stores I'm going to go to. What time I should hit each one. And what ALL I'm going to buy. The ads are leaked to the internet a couple weeks in advance and I look them over and over and over again.
It's hard for me to fall asleep on Thanksgiving night in fear of missing my 3am alarm to make it to Khol's by 4am. My Mom, my sister, and even my husband love this early morning mad dash. And the fact that they are there with me insures I will get all of the stuff on my list!
This year, like most, Khol's was our first stop at 3:45. We all spread out to our assigned items and were in line for the register by 4:10. We made it to Walmart by 4:30 and I stood guard over the 600 TC sheet sets while Tyler set out to concur the toy department. My sister and Mom hit the electronics. The employees wouldn't let us touch some of the stuff until 5:00. But we managed to check out and be back in our cars by 5:30. Toys R Us was next and since I didn't have any door-buster items on my list we didn't have to really fight through the crowds for anything. Honestly due to their 12am open time, there wasn't really a crowd. Even the lines were really short. We dashed into JoAnn's before heading out to the mall to peruse their sales.

And that my folks, is how you get all of your Christmas shopping done in one day on a budget!
AND, over the course of the day, we saved over
600 dollars
by getting our hinnies out of bed at 3am.
