It’s Monday, which means I need something to make me laugh out loud…how about you?
Well this article from the Huffington Post — “The 15 Emotional Stages of a Black Friday Shopping Trip” — literally has me cracking up.
As I shared yesterday about Black Friday, Hudson and I are those people who wake up at 3 in the morning — and camp outside with tons of layers, hand warmers, and hot chocolate — mainly just for the experience. Of course we get awesome deals, but I am convinced that 90% of the reason we go Black Friday shopping is just for the thrill.
Black Friday shopping is SUCH an emotional roller coaster ride though, as the article points out. I literally transition from #1 “I think I’m still asleep” to #3 “I am mildly frustrated” (or in my terms, WHY in the world are we doing this again?!) to #4 “Christmas is everywhereeee!!” in a heartbeat. And then a couple hours later into the emotional Black Friday shopping roller coaster ride, I’m at #14 “Do you mind if I just…lie down here?” — oh what I would give for a bed! So then of course we go home, crash for the rest of the morning/early afternoon/late afternoon and wake up in time for Friday dinner. Classic.
Here’s the best news…Black Friday shopping at Sears is different. They open at 6PM on Thanksgiving Day, so we can go Thursday night instead of wasting all of Friday sleeping. But, if you still want to brave the crowds Friday, their more than 1,000 doorbuster deals on the most popular gifts will be available until 1PM Friday. Don’t tell my dad, but I am thinking about getting him some Craftsman® products!
Additionally, Sears is offering their typical Shop Your Way member conveniences all season long like free store pickup and Reserve It, PLUS 10% back in points on the first $500 of each qualifying purchase with a Sears credit card.
Members can get an early look at Black Friday shopping deals, but here are some of the top deals:
- 55% off Kenmore Washer & Dryer (sale price $799.98 for the set; regular price $899.99 each)
