Definitely worth it for me!! I jumped out of bed at 4am and pulled into the Walmart parking lot (along with hundreds of other sleep deprived shoppers) at 4:45am. I bought a 19 inch LCD TV for Emily..........hoping she'll pass her current TV down to her dad and me!! I also bought her a VTech laptop thingy for $25; teaches spanish, etc. I bought a nice gift for my husband, but won't post what it is, cause I never know when he might visit here! And, last but not least, a video game for Jordan. Didn't enjoy the crowd at all, so I treated myself to a biscuit and gravy at McDonalds afterward! I overheard one shopper telling her friend while pointing to the TV in my shopping cart : "We didn't get one of those TV's. They were all gone by the time we got here. So, my husband and I have decided if we see one in a shopping cart and it's unattended, we're going to grab it and head straight for the register"!!! Trust me, I kept one hand on that TV the rest of the time I was in there!!! Some people!

Years ago, I used to shop all day on the Friday after Thanksgiving. Lately, Walmart is all I can handle!

Wow, today was the first time I have gotten up that early for shopping. We went to Toys r us at 6:00 and the line was literally wrapped all the way around the store. Target was even worse. I was frustrated because all the advertised specials were cleaned off the shelves like half an hour after opening. I did pick up a queen flannel sheet set for $12.00 and some DVD's for $10.00. I also got hubby a $200.00 coat for $68.00.I will go again next year ut probably not quite so early.

I go every year, I was at WalMart at 4:30 and got everything I went for I got Justin a Leapfrog ClickStart and Matthew what he wanted, he does read on here sometimes so I wont post, the Leapfrog was $60.00 every where I looked but the nice guy at WalMart told me since it was the last one and I waited so nicely he would mark it down so I paid $40.00 for it, like Susan I use to go to alot of places but now I just take my adds to WalMart and they comp them so I go no where else.

I was at Kohls at 4 am with all the crazy people! We had to wait in line for five minutes just to go up the escalator. I couldn't believe that the fire marshall wasn't called and clearing people out. It was INSANE.

We drove past Target after we finished at Kohls (6:45 am) and it was really a zoo. We decided to go to Walmart instead. Walmart was very calm and organized. I took my ads with me so they price matched several toys. ;D Next year I am going to be more organized and have all my ads ready to be price matched at Walmart. Walmart will be my first stop next year.

After Walmart, we went to CVS for a photo keyring. No problems there!

Next we went to the mall. I got six Wallflower refills at Bath and Body Works plus the free four pack of perfume for a total of $20! ;D

I was so exhausted that we only went to Walgreens after the mall. By the time we got home it was 2 pm. I had been up since 3 am. My dearest husband then informed me that he invited two couples over for the evening to play dominos. He took Sarah to McDonalds to play for a couple of hours so I could take a nap. It all turned out fine. I took a shower after my nap and by the time the company came over, I was fine.
