Pre Black friday success.

Belated Thanksgiving to everyone.   Yeah let us celebrate the European whites killing the native Americans and taking their land.  Haha.   But I diverge.  Well, Thanksgiving came and went.  So did Black Friday shopping mania.  This Thanksgiving, me and my mom decided to skip the meal and "celebration" and take advantage of the big shopping deals.  We went to Santa Clarita Walmart and bought some stuffs we needed.  Then we decided we do not want to wait there with the crowd waiting for the door buster deals.  We got out so fast afraid of being trampled to death.  It was not worth it.  We were not that poor or that desperate for a deal to save a couple of bucks.  On our way home, we decided to pass by a Kohl's for some deals we saw on the papers.  There was a line outside so we left since lining up for >30 minutes till they open the doors was just too much.  As we arrive at the valley, it was 6 PM and Kohl's was to opening that time.  So we passed by the Kohl's near my house and the line was moving .  So I decided to line up since it was a short wait.  As I entered the store with all the other eager shoppers, I headed straight up to the Home Appliance section to grab that griddle and slow cooker for $7.99 each!  There was a lot of people up there but not as chaotic as I thought it would be.  Perhaps the people at Kohl's are more tamed than Walmart...  I saw the griddle and grabbed one.  I searched and searched for the slow cooker in vane.  Then I saw a mother and daughter team with a cart and boxes in them.  One of the box was the slow cooker on sale.  I asked and they directed me to the pile in the middle of the aisle away from where I was searching.  I grabbed the slow cooker box and balanced the two boxes on my way down to meet my mom and check out.  My mom suggested that we should grab a few more to give as gifts so I rushed back up to get a few more.  To my surprise there were a lot of boxes left.  It looks like that if you get to the store within 30 minutes of opening, you will be able to get the door busters deal.  This was a realization.  Now I know how these door busters deals work.  There may be a lot of pushing and shoving at Walmart or other lower end stores but for the most part, it was pretty doable. So from now on, Thanksgiving for me is shopping!
