Black Friday Haul!

This is my first time going Black Friday shopping and, to be honest, I was a little disappointed that I didn’t see anyone getting their hair ripped out over the last children’s toy. However, I did get some good deals and I had a lot of fun, so I thought I would share my haul with you!

I went shopping late on Thursday night so I didn’t go to very many stores as many of them weren’t open. My town is small so I didn’t have many shopping options to begin with. I went with two friends to K-mart and Walmart.

In K-mart the lines were insane but it was fun to look around. I found a sheer white shirt (below)with short black sleeves for $12.00 and a goldish-silver (is there a color for that?) watch for $14.00. I may take back the watch and either return it or get it resized because it’s too big for me at the moment. Both of these items were half-price so I thought it was a pretty good deal as I would have purchased them even if they hadn’t been reduced.

At Walmart the store was surprisingly calm. The only areas with a lot of people in it were the electronics and the movies. The lines were very contained and I even got a parking spot up close! I was shocked. Even people who had gone to the sale right as the store opened told me that it had been the most ordered Black Friday they’d ever seen. Anyway, I went right to the DVD section and started stocking up my collection. I also purchased a thick gold chain link necklace (paired with the shirt above) for less than $5.00.

I walked away with some great deals and even better movies. I got Pitch Perfect and Gone Girl for $4.00 each and Anchorman 2, Grease, and the Conjuring for $2.00 each. I’m sensing a movie night will be in the near future.

One thing that I can never resist buying are TV series. I love owning the seasons of a show. I grabbed every show that I wanted to consider and ended up only buying two. I originally picked out Sherlock season 1, Game of Thrones season 1, The Walking Dead season 1, an assortment of Breaking Bad seasons, and the Royals season 1. Each of these would have cost me around $10.00. I narrowed it down to just The Royals and Game of Thrones, as those were the best value in terms of episodes per season.

Lastly, the day before Thanksgiving I added a new addition to my family. My cat had run away last summer and, as a tremendous cat lady, I missed having one of my own (my sister has a cat as well). A friend of mine had gotten a kitten in September and then discovered that she was allergic to it. She put up with her allergies for a while but offered the kitten to me a few days ago. I said yes, of course, and surprised my family with her a day later. We think it’s a girl but we’ll get that confirmed soon. Assuming she’s a girl, I named her Sutton and she’s cuddling with me as I type this. Please forgive the blurry photo, she’s very energetic and it’s impossible to get a good picture of her!
