Black Friday Do's and Don'ts

1. Do arrive approximately 2 hours before store opening. That way you may have a slight chance of getting the super duper deals.

2. Don't go alone. Have a few people with you. (One person to pave the way, one to wait in the check-out line, a couple to send to various locations etc.)

3. Don't do Black Friday while pregnant. The two things just don't mix.

4. Don't do Black Friday at the American Fork Target. We're talking an hour and half to check out just because of lack of organization.

5. Don't do Black Friday just to save $10 or $15 on one or two items. The chaos is not worth the savings.

6. Do take a chance on Black Friday if your savings will add up to $50 or more. Then, it may possibly be worth it, although the savings may have to equal $100 to really be worth it.

7. Do laugh hysterically at the people who take this Black Friday thing far too seriously (which Lindsay and I did plenty of...laughing, that is).

8. Do eat at IHOP afterward (which Lindsay and I also did plenty of; well, at least I did plenty of...the eating, that is).

Thanks for coming with me Lin and for being a good sport, even though you didn't have any sweet deals you were after. You made the experience far more enjoyable than it would have otherwise been!!

You guys are brave; I don't dare fight the crowds. But truthfully, I'm just not willing to give up sleep.

I wish I would've known you were up for it. -I camped out at Walmart and waited in their DS line for 4 hours alone! (Yawn). It's been a long day.

No problem!! The comedy alone makes it worth it, and next year, we'll be ready!!

I'm impressed! I tried to not even leave the house that day. Hope you got some great deals!

I would be glad to stand in the check out line for you next year.

We should have hooked up! There was a group of people behind me and they were scoring all sorts of deals. You are right, you need to have at least 3 or 4 of you! Target was insane, but still fun once I caught up on the missed sleep! So glad I ran into you and Lindsay! You are so cute pregnant!
