I was wondering wtf you and Christy were doing up. I guess now I know.
No!
I went to Walmart at 5 am on 1604 and Culebra. So did the rest of San Antonio.
Why in the would a million people want a 20 inch TV DVD player for 88 bucks?
It wasn't even a flat screen.
That is about all that was left, there must've been a thousand of them.
All the computers were sold out, all the gameboys and the other cool crap.
5 am and every parking lot within 200 yards was completely full.
Damn.
The wife is already home. Got what we wanted!
Shopping in the middle of the nightt.. Awesome!
I just wish we had a WalMart down here...
Your wife had the shopping and you had the time for yourself?
No, I was supposed to go with her but I bailed 'cause I gotta work today. So she called me about every 30 minutes so I didn't really get back to sleep after 3AM.
But she had some nice stuff for hubby so it was cool.
Didn't get the laptop though...my cheap ass will stick to my desktop.
I had to go to work today...
that....I'm a Christmas Eve, last minute shopper.
You couldn't PAY me to go shopping today.
I make my husband do the Christmas shopping!that....I'm a Christmas Eve, last minute shopper.

The only sane one in the bunch!
All of San Antonio, are always at Wal-Mart and HEB everyday. You could put 2 HEB's across the street fom eachother and they'd both be full.
No , I hate going to HEB around 7pm. Thats a guarnteed way to get pissed off enough to kill.
I love my H-E-B!!!
I'm usually resigned to shopping the 24hr HEB in the dead of night. If I need something most days I just stop by the Albertsons near work -- a comparative ghost town.
Grocery store chain.
Mostly H-E-B's.
Now HEB is going with an HEB Plus format to go head to head with Wal Mart.
None of those. Mostly just HEB. It's practically a monopoly here.
It's a good grocery store though -- it's similar in design (and quality) to most Ralph's in Cali.
I was gonna go shopping this morning but realized it was too early, I was tired and broke. lol I saw how some people got trampled at walmarts in FL or somewhere. I do think there were some good deals this year but they were all big purchase items, that I can't buy right now as much as I'd like to. The things I do want are on sale all weekend, so I can hold off.
I had an interesting debate this morning.
Sleep
or
Shopping
I hate shopping so sleep was the easy winner.
I'd rather sky dive naked into an erupting volcano than go shopping today....or any day for that matter.
I thought it was gonna be more crazy at work. It got so busy that they cut off ordering those desktops and laptops. They ordered too many.
But in the beginning it was sorta hectic...not that bad.
I saw that Best Buy and Circuit City were pretty freaking packed.
Mostly people were good about us not having stuff in stock anymore, but some people are like "Why do you even have those sales if you don't have any in stock?"
I just thought to myself...lady that's why people are standing outside at 5 am to get it. And you're coming it at 11 am expecting to get stuff...ridiculous.
So they aren't taking anymore orders for that $99 desk top? Or can you order it online yourself?
H-E-B is based out of San Antonio which is a major reason it's king in San Antonio.
Exactly. I usually go late late at night to shop at HEB.
I slept in today and went to Comp USA at around 3pm and walked right and told the guy what I needed. He got it for me and I went right up to the cashier, no waiting and was out of there in 5 minutes. The store was busy but they had the stock and I didn't have to wait. I was very happy. I hate shopping so this made it really easy.
I ended up at Best Buy to return a monitor I bought to use while mine was out for service...that I actually got back early...
Waited about 2 minutes in line at customer service ... at the check out for the hard drive ... no wait.
Ran into Toys 'R Us to get my niece's birthday present, parked close...went right in, got what I needed....no wait in line.
For both of those places, that was actually the quickest I've ever been in and out. (Thank God.)
Black Friday is overrated.
