Black Friday 2008

Those of you who know me know that I’m a huge fan of Black Friday. I go out every year, usually with Holly, and spend lots of money on Christmas gifts. Usually, I end up buying way more than I intend and then feel guilt at having spent so much money. But I’m a sucker for a sale so I eventually justify my guilt away using the logic that saved a ton of money. I try not to think about the fact that I would never have spent the money in the first place if I hadn’t come across the sale price. In the end, I go way overboard on presents and the living room looks like a Toys R Us on Christmas morning.

This year, I didn’t really have a plan for Black Friday. The sales weren’t that great but there were some good deals to be found. I can’t really say what I was looking for, or what I ended up buying, but I can say that it was a successful day. There were a few speedbumps along the way but I got everything that I was looking for. I can hardly wait to see the looks on my family’s faces as they open their gifts.
