Monday Morning Madness #35: The Black Friday Madness

The madness of Thanksgiving is finally over. In the madness, I mean the cleaning, cooking and putting up with the relatives you can only tolerate for once a year. For me, I like all my relatives that where at Thanksgiving dinner, but I couldn't stand my three young cousins (the youngest is five) jumping up and down, running around the house and screaming for three hours. I disappeared briefly to take a break from everything, thankfully everyone left a few minutes before I went to the big Black Friday (well, Thursday night) sale at Walmart.

The sales were supposed to start at 6pm, but all the 1-hour In-Stock Guarantee $98 32" Funai TV wristbands were already given out, which really isn't fair since the sale was to start at 6pm and I arrived an hour earlier. Nevertheless, I still got one of the 1 hour guarantee gift cards and an access code when I checked out. I had to get on the internet when I got home and wait on the Walmart site for over 2 and half hours to redeem the gift card. I did however get the TV ordered, which is supposed to be delivered at my local Walmart before Christmas.

I also bought one of the cheap Blu-ray players and the Duck the Halls: A Robertson Family Christmas CD. I also picked up a few Christmas presents - Fringe seasons 4 & 5 DVD sets for my dad and Big Bang Theory Season Six DVD for my mom.

Similar to the year before, most of the DVDs & CDs from Thanksgiving night were still there the next day and I was able to find Arrow Season One, which was what I was looking for the night before, for ten dollars. I also bought Jack the Giant Slayer for fewer than four dollars and two more CDs.
