Tonight we were watching the news and they were showing video taken this morning at Target. It was a special report about just how much you can save by going out and getting run over by shopping buggies. There was a girl in line paying for some item, I don't know what it was, but the reporter asked her how much money she was saving by being in line at 3am. And this was her answer:
"Oh, gosh, this was only $80, and it's regularly $120. So I'm saving, like, $60 or $70! It's TOTALLY WORTH IT!"
People! So this is why this shopping day is so appealing to so many of you? Because you can't subtract? And I bet her friends and family saw her on the news and called her and were all like "No, no, no, $120 minus $80 is $40, you saved $40."
I wonder if it's still totally worth it after you look like a jackass on the local news?

Jen, I'm not a fan of this day either! But do you know what I did?! I found 3 Nintendo Wii's (earlier this month) and sat back and watched crazy people bid on them. I paid $250 for each and they sold for $450 each. In the famous words of Dr. Dre, "Today was a good day....."
I hate black friday too. We stayed at home until later & the kids & I went to the mall to watch the remaining nuts and to eat some chic fil a. It's not worth it to me either.
