2:15am: Wake up. Did I miss it? Nope, go back to sleep.
3:00am: Get up. I haven't slept at all anyways.

5:15am: Home. Plug phone in. Lay on couch for a 30 minute nap.
6:50am: Wake up. Jump off the couch. Grab phone. Leave.

7:30am: Not feeling good. Naseau. Headache. Can barely concentrate on
7:35am: Buy pretzel and coke. That should help.
7:45am: Pretzel and coke didn't help. Sitting on the floor at the mall, on the phone with Dad, wondering if I am going to make it.

8:30am: Head home. Lay in bed.

7:45pm: Home, at last. Quickly change into comfies and heat up leftovers for supper.
8:30pm: Fast asleep on the couch.
So, are you wondering if it was worth the exhaustion, sickness, grungy feeling, and time? I went through my receipts - here are the totals:
Regular price: $1,154.96
Price paid: $596.01
Minus giftcards: $215.00
Total spent: $381.01
Top savings of the day was a $180.01 savings on 1 item! Besides the one little episode on the mall floor, we really had a lot of fun. The bargains were contagious and we did get most of our Christmas shopping done, plus a little shopping for ourselves using up some leftover giftcards.

That's crazy Heather, I don't think I'd have the patience to do it... BUT sounds like you saved a lot of money and for the most part, had fun and made a memory! AWESOME! How was your weekend, besides that? Shoot me an email later... I have the world's worst splitting/tired headache right now... =(

You are brave! But saving that money was probably worth it. I did all my shopping online on Friday. Amazon.com had some amazing deals.
Heather:
I would say it was all well worth it with the savings you had!! : ) Sorry I didn't make it up in time to meet you : (
It was a great day in CB but why oh why that picture! : )
Love- Joan
Ohhhhhhhh - I participated in black friday, too....but didn't get up THAT early. Holy cow girl!! No wonder you felt that way....unless of course you're expecting?? :-)
