Normally, I refuse to go shopping on Black Friday because I've seen both sides of the chaos (retail and consumer) and would rather not relive either experience. But, TRU's Thursday night event had me intrigued, so I thought I'd give it a go. Thankfully, my sister came along to share in my misery as we stood in the cold rain for hours while the occasional gust of wind threatened to strip us of our umbrellas.

I swear the rain came down so steadily for so long, it became a background noise like the electrical hum you hear when someone has left the TV on.

Anyway, here is my limited haul:

TRU
Picked up some Barbie stuff and a Camp Rock blanket for both my niece and daughter, a starter laptop for my daughter, some Club Penguin boosters for my nephew and had my sister buy some TF's and WFC for the DS as X-Mas presents for me. Unfortunately, we didn't get into the store soon enough to get in on some of the other deals that night, but we came out ok in the end. More on the TF stuff after X-Mas

Target
Friday, I got the 2 PCC 5-Pack repaints for $10 each (one's a X-Mas present to me from my in-laws), and also got XMO:W (the DVD) for $6 and Big Bang Theory S3 for $13.

Best Buy
Picked up a 4GB Micro SDHC card for $9.

And that's it. My X-Mas shopping isn't nearly done yet, but it's a good start.
