Black Friday

Yesterday, after celebrating Thanksgiving at both my husband's families house and my Mom's house, we went home and put up our Christmas tree. Then we braved the crowds at the outlet mall for black friday deals.
It was crazy...
It took forever to even exit the highway and by the time we got to the stores the deals weren't that great. I am a pretty big outlet shopper and find great deals at the J Crew outlet. I have to say there weren't any deals that were better than an average day, just way more people. Most of J Crew was 40% off but the clothes are only $10- $20 cheaper than the mall's J Crew. I would rather have the normal stores clothes because the quality is better. I did get the one thing I wanted, a grey velvet blazer but that was it.
Did I just go to the wrong stores? Did you get better deals?

I only went to Target, and the only great sales were on DVDs. I got some $3 and $6 dvds, and the first 3 seasons of Weeds for $9 each! Other than that, it wasn't worth braving the crowds.

I didn't get anything great...And I did see the DVDs at Target, but they were on sale on Saturday too, so I didn't have to wait in line! :)

We went to JCrew Outlet too=) We got some things there, Hubby hadn't done any shopping in forever, so we came away with some good things. But I agree, the only other thing we got was our new camera (that I have been waiting to get=)!).

the store I work at raises prices and then hands out a door coupon, so the prices end up the same as on a normal day. yet people buy it up like crazy haha
