Are You Shopping Tomorrow?

I’m sitting here at my parent’s house. They live about 1 1/2 hours from us. We planned to come for the day and return home tonight so that tomorrow we could start packing for our move (we’re moving next week!).
I had no intentions of shopping tomorrow. After all, we live out in the boonies and I’m lucky to find a decent restaurant. I’d have to drive almost an hour to next largest city to get take advantage of Black Friday sales. I’d almost considered signing up at Tree Hugging Family for Buy Nothing Day. And then I did it . . . I saw the sales papers. Oh dear.
Hubby really likes House and Target has the season sets for around $13-14 per set. I can get seasons 1-3 for less than $40, which is about the price of one season. One sales paper led to another and now we’ve decided that we’re staying the night and heading out early in the morning to catch some deals.
Hubby and I will get out by ourselves to shop while the kids sleep comfortably in their bedroom at my parent’s house. Part of me thinks we’re a little crazy and then another part says it will be fun to get out alone and do something together.
How about you? Are you shopping tomorrow? Please take a second to answer in our poll to the right, or leave your comments below.

I’m glad to know that you will go out with your hubby, and when I was a kid - I did not like much visiting stores; in fact I would start crying to take me out. So, your kids may prefer to stay with their grandpa instead of visiting stores.
Regarding your question, no - but I’ve plan to shop before Monday; presently I’m engaged in preparing the list.
Cheers!
I am buying nothing!
My mom and I got up at 3:00am to be at Wal-Mart that is 30 minutes from our home. Shopping on Black Friday is a tradition for my family even if we really don’t need anything that is on sale. I hope you got the bargains you were after.
