We Were THOSE People

We participated in Black Friday for the first time this year. We had everything all planned out. 

So we got in line at Kohl's at 10pm. It was lame. There were like 12 people in front of us and 3 people behind us for that first hour. Here's the parking lot in front of the store at 10pm-

Here's the same spot around 11:30-

It was Kohl's you guys. I never shop at Kohl's, the only thing I ever buy there is stuff for our apartment. The clothes always shrink, and the prices aren't that great. But anyway, there were at least 100 people in line when the doors opened at midnight. 

It. Was. Crazy.

And I didn't even mention the very large hispanic family who tried to cut in front of the line. I got scared.

BUT! We ran in there, grabbed what I needed, checked out, and ran out all in under 15 minutes. It was pretty sweet. And I had an awesome coupon. 

There was seriously no need for me to "run" but I wanted to get out of there before people started fighting over the Fiestaware.

And yes, We stood in line for two hours in order to get one stock pot for my dad. That's all he asked for for Christmas, and Kohl's is the only place I'd ever seen them. Don't judge me.

So, by this time it was 12:15 and we decided to run over to Best Buy. Oh dear. 

That place was insane. 

This was the check out line that snaked through the entire store.

We stood in line for an HOUR for an OTTER BOX that Chris has been wanting for a while that was on sale.

 

LAME. My back was hurting so bad and it was hot in there and it was just a mess but we stuck it out and he got his silly gift. Heck yes, I'm wrapping that sucker and sticking it under the Christmas tree. 

We were planning to hit up Target as well, but I didn't really have a list for there and I was more than done standing in line so we just went home.

Next year (if we're THOSE people again) I have a better Black Friday plan...
