So, this year Andy and I participated in Black Friday for the 2nd time. However, this time Andy did most of the hard work. I dropped him off at Best Buy around 11 pm and joined him at 4:30 am...just before they opened. My poor husband waited out in the cold for 6 hours..Luckily, our friends Chris and Craig wanted to join in on the fun and met Andy at Best Buy around midnight. Also, the weather wasn't too cold...so they were okay.
The line in front of the store was REALLY long, but luckily, Andy was there early enough to get the big items he wanted...they handed out tickets for the big items. Anyway, as it got closer to 5 am, a new crowd started forming near the doors and everyone literally yelled at them to 'get in line.' Which is understandable..it wouldn't be fair for them to cut in when people have been waiting all night. Finally the doors open and the madness begins. Everyone rushes to the different areas to grab their items before they're gone. Andy and I and our 2 friends were successful in getting everything we wanted....we had some friends in Provo who had waited in line since 5 pm the day before and they still weren't able to get what they wanted...I felt like we were very lucky. I also think participating in Black Friday is a lot of fun! They definitely have good deals. Who knows, maybe it will become a tradition. :) Luckily, the employee parking ramps at work were open to everyone so we caught a quick nap at home before coming in to work... :)
Well, I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. I'll post pics up later.
