Black Friday Savings

Well I did it! I woke up at 4:30 this morning, picked up one of my girlfriends at 5:30 and was off to the stores! I picked up some killer deals though that made the trip more than worth it!

We went to Wal-mart first because they were price matching other stores ads as long as you had the ad. I really wanted an Ipod Nano and RC Willey had them for 99.96 but they only had 35 in stock according to their ad so I went back to electronics and asked them if they would price match it and they said they would so I picked up an Ipod Nano for a killer deal! Then in the Office Max ad they had Photoshop Elements on sale for 60.00 so I price matched that and scored as well! I also picked up some $2.00 DVD's and a Princess Dress up box for my daughter!

We then headed over to Target and picked up some o.k. deals like hi ho cherry-o for 4.95 and a mickey mouse memory game for 4.95. I also bought a $25.00 Itunes gift card for $20! We also picked up a few stocking stuffers in their dollar spot which was nice.

After Target we went to Kohls and oh my lines!!! It was a mad house in there! But it was so worth it in the end I bought 5 Barbie's, 2 kid Digital Cameras, a Laugh and Learn baby toy which has 4 different toys in it for 88.51! I had a $10 off $20 coupon and a 15% off coupon that I used as well so I saved over $200 in that transaction - plus I earned $10 in Kohl's cash as well!! Not too bad. My girlfriend was waiting in another line so I went browsing after I was done and found a super adorable coat that was originally 78.00 but was on sale 40.80 so I ran it over to her and had her buy it for me. So all in all I would say it was definitely worth the trip. Now it's off to the Outlets to hunt for a leather coat for my hubby!

How did you do? Did you brave the crowds and score some killer deals or did you spend the day inside avoiding the madness and putting up Christmas Decorations? What was your best find? How many of you are completely done shopping for the season? I know I have lots more to go!
