My Black Friday Shopping
So I went out on Friday. I braved what everyone said would be terrible traffic and grouchy people at the stores.
This was my first experience – and I was well prepared. I checked the online sites that had the ads already, made my list, re-wrote my list a few more times, checked online sales and checked again.
In the end I went to five stores, bought everything but four things that were on my list, only bought one thing that wasn’t (and it was a double of something that was on sale) AND I put things back because I had to STICK to the list!
My DH was very proud this time. 
We budgeted for our spending, knew what we were going to buy and how much it would cost. This was also a tax free weekend for the state (I assume for the state? Maybe just the area though, I’m not exactly sure) which helped a little bit.
And now 75% (or maybe more!) of my holiday shopping is complete!
Oh and this was my first BF shopping experience right – and I have to say I will go again! The traffic was completely fine, there was only one mildly grouchy person that I had to deal with. I left at 4:30 and was home by 9. And yes, it was worth it.
