Anybody go shopping?

My wife has a friend that lives about 3 hours away, who also happens to live about 20 minutes from this big time outlet mall that opened at midnight. The wife wanted to go, so obviously, we went.

We saved SOOOO much money, and I was surprised the only place we really ran into any lines was at the Oakley store, primarily because of the way they had to handle people buying sunglasses.

We were able to get quality Christmas gifts for all my immediate family for under 100 bucks (3 people) and then me and my wife went a little crazy.

At the Nike outlet I was able to get a pair of their golf pants for 30 dollars, normally 75. None of their baby shoes were over 15 dollars either, so we got my daughter some little Nike running shoes and a couple sets of clothes for Christmas.

I won't bore you with all the details, but between those pants and a Under Armour long sleeve polo shirt I saved a total of 70 bucks.

What's your Black Friday stories?

I've hoed some golf stuff in the last couple days, and another clubhead today, so I guess that counts. :)

I have to work tonight at one of the busiest stores in the area. Some of my coworkers are planning on 'messing' with customers, for example adding a meow in teh middle of a sentence, or having 6-8 employees ask a customer if they need help in the space of 2 minutes. Should be pretty funny. :laugh:

I thought about it...dropped the GF off at the mall around 10:15 and did not see one empty parking place and it took me 10 min to get out off the parking lot.

haha, yeah, it took us no less than 30 minutes to park. When we were pulling in there was a fight about to break out over a parking spot, awesome.

Several years ago when those push scooter things were all the rage, I actually saw 2 women get in a brawl over one. This one woman brained the other one over the head with the display model.

Could you fellows pick up my shopping? I totally loathe Christmas shopping. That's what the Internet is for.

You must all have better functioning X chromosomes than I do.

Nah, you just get it. All the shit that people buy now "on sale" will be cheaper in February anyways.

Gift ceritificates are your best friends these days. Why wrestle cheek to cheek with the rest of the lemmings?

I totally agree.

I would rather pluck out my own eyeballs than subject myself to any sort of mall shopping at any time of the year, never mind Christmas.

I refuse to do any shopping this time of the year. Buying crap for people you don't really like, it all seems to be a big waste of time & $$$.
