How many of you took advantage of the Black Friday sales in the stores this year? My hubby went to Walmart to try and grab a few of the supposed deals and OH MY GOD was it a MAD HOUSE! The parking lot was full and there were cars lined up along the street to the supercenter. It was wall to wall people, tanked up on sugar from the pie they had consumed on Thanksgiving. Unfortunately, they didn’t eat enough turkey and mashed potatoes to let the tryptophan and carbohydrates make them drowsy, because they were NUTS! An actual fistfight happened in the electronic section over trying to get cellphones. PLUS, some guy BIT and elderly woman who had taken the last game available that he wanted. It was sickening and even though there were plenty of guards to help stop the insanity, they couldn’t keep the violence down. As 2012 approaches and the nutsters who believe the end of the world is going to happen on December 21st, because of the infamous Mayan Calendar prediction– plan on there being tons more crazy violence happening next year from people trying to get their last hurrahs! I’m staying home and recommend everyone else stays away from the mess too.
This year if you missed the craziness on Black Friday, which I pray you did or picked up some enormous deals to make it worth your while, why not take advantage of Cyber Monday?

If I am going to buy something on the internet, I will be doing a lot of searching and researching the product that I am going to buy. I want to find the lowest price for the product as well as a reasonable shipping cost.
