Serious Shopping

I love BLACK FRIDAY! Mom picked me up at 3:45 am. We got an early start. You know what they say, "The early bird gets the worm." This is true for bargains too. The early "loony" birds catch the good deals.

After Thanksgiving dinner, mom and I always sit down to sort through the sale flyers and make our plan of action for the next morning. Our agenda looked somewhat like this.

3:45 leave Dana's house
4:05 hit Kohl's right after the mad rush
4:00ish JC Penney's
5:00 Wal-Mart (the worst I've ever seen it, by the way)
5:00ish Old Navy...the line was too long to shop...will return later
6:00 Target...never seen such a line, but I was very successful at marking gifts off of my Christmas list.
6:00 somethingish back to Old Navy
The times get a little fuzzy after this. Next stops included:
Big Lots
Lowe's
KMart
Home Depot
Michael's
Staples
Tuesday Morning and last, but not least...
Costco (they even gave me a free cookbook...Yippee!

We were home by 10:00 am...just in time to enjoy some breakfast casserole and some pineapple. Mission accomplished!

Here is a picture of me with all of my loot.

I'm just wondering who on earth taught you to shop like that! :)
