I went looking for a netbook for my DS - no success on getting any of the bargain ones advertized. But, I did find one at Office Depot that is on sale thru the end of the year at a great price (can't pick one up till next week as they were out.) They didn't have the Storybook cart at Michaels when my DIL got there last night. I was lucky enough to get the big Lego set my DS wanted for Christmas at Toys R Us, and the Kodak camera from Office Depot my DD had on her list. Wal-Mart was crazy when we were there. We stood in line for 45 min just to pay. Best Buy was crowded, Toys R US was a breeze as they opened at Midnight and we arrived at 5 am, missed the crowd and they had just restocked the shelves. We stood in line outside Olive Garden for 30 minutes waiting for the doors to open as they no longer open at 10:30 am as in the past on Black Friday. The food was worth it. My DS#1 got a great deal on a 50" tv he wanted and DD#3 found her shoes at Shoe Carnival - Lord, how I hate the guy with the microphone. MY DIL collapsed in the parking lot of Shoe Carnival in so much pain my DS took her to the emergency room - they found out she has gallstones. DS#3 and I waited in the parking lot of Target for a call from them to see if we needed to go to the babysitter to pick up the grandsons. Both of us fell asleep - I was up late waiting for midnight for the online specials and then got up at 4 am to head for the city to shop. All in all it was a good day for both finding bargains and window shopping, and just watching the crowds. Sandy
