Shopping as it should be

We did find our new computer, just two days after Black Friday. The new Best Buy add came out. We looked through it and chose three laptops that we liked and got in the car with our fingers crossed. We got to the store, showed them to the associate and asked which ones he had. Surely since they ran out so quickly on Friday, these less expensive computers were going to be gone quickly. They had all three of them. We got our first choice and actually spent less money than we would have on Black Friday and got a better computer. We said we would take it and he sent it over to get the anti virus put in and get rid of all the promotional crap on it. We said we needed the following also:
wireless router
wireless optical mouse
wireless router for my parents
wireless adapter for my parents
microsoft office
a new printer
a video game (OK. this was not a need but I'm like an overindulgent mother when it comes to my husband.)
Total time in the store: 27 minutes. Yep. You read that right. 27 minutes. That is from when we walked in the door until we walked out with the purchases in our hand. It was so easy. This just further confirms that the Black Friday shoppers are fucking batty.

I could not agree more. Even if some deals are better on Black Friday, I'd rather pay a little more to deal with fewer idiots.
