Black Friday Experience From Traci

Here’s another Black Friday Experience from one of our blogger friend, Traci:

When you first heard of Black Friday at Walmart, what was your initial reaction?
When I first heard about Black Friday, I was way excited. Great Sales, what a great day to shop.

Did you plan what you are going to buy for the Black Friday?
I haven’t really planned what I will be buying this year, but I am looking to get my Little Man a TV for his room, and they usually have some great tv sales on Black Friday

Can you share with us what is on you list last year?
Last year I had like major list. Toys, toys and more toys for the grand babies and Little Man, but this year I am looking for the right big ticket item for each of them, instead of a ton of little stuff.

On the day itself, what time did you went to Walmart?
When in the past I have gone to Black Friday Sales, I have gone way early in the morning like 6AM. I know others go way earlier, but no sale is worth being out any earlier than that for me.

Can you account your experience from the time you arrived until you got your purchase?
I really can’t, but I know it was way crowded, they had ran out of several of the sale items and the check out lines…Oh my!

What are the items that you were able to buy and how much did you saved?
I really can not remember but I am sure I did find a few great deals.

Are you going to Black Friday Walmart again this year?
I am not sure..I know I would love to get a deal on a TV for Little Man, so we shall see I may just have to venture out this year

What are your tips for first time Black Friday Shopper?
Be prepared. Black Friday can be a very crazy day to shop. Be patient. Remember everyone wants to get that special sale and gift. Have Fun.
