It's not a secret that I enjoy shopping. My sweet husband hasn't purchased an item of clothing in 16 years and he is just fine with that. The "clothes fairy" magically puts items in his closet and he is delighted.
I love a bargain, I love consignment shopping, I don't even mind grocery shopping. However, I have never been enticed into shopping on Black Friday because of the crowd, the parking situation and waiting in line for 30 minutes
would sour me on the joys of shopping.
My friend Shirley is a Black Friday warrior. Armed with her list of items that are fabulous deals she and her HUSBAND have a game plan and attack the stores. They drop and run. The husband drops her at the door, she runs in for the good deals and ta-da! they are finished in no time.
Shirley can have a conversation with anyone so waiting in line doesn't bother her. It is a form of stress relief for other people since she is outgoing and fun.
I asked Shirl if she went to Herberger's to go to the top of the escalator and buy the musical dancing hat. Regular price $50 Ha! as if anyone would pay that price. Black Friday price? $14.99!! Yippee, they had some left and she just dropped it off (6:42 a.m.) so I can wear it to ring bells today.
