Well we did it our first black Friday. Got up at a respectable 7.00 a.m. and left the house at 8.00 to head first to Fashion Square. Place was deserted and some of the stores were not even open. When we did enter the stores they were quiet and I am not at all sure where the bargains were I did not see many. Its seems that there are a handful of items at a good price and everything else was normal or with a slight discount. It was just like any other Christmas shopping day and we did get pretty much everything we set out to get just not at very cheap prices. We then headed to Nordstrom rack. We were not dissapointed and we picked up some great stuff there. A $400 pair of pants for $120 and a Juicy Couture shirt originally $180 for $50. Good old Nordstrom rack my favorite store in Phoenix. We went to Kierland later in the day and picked up the last few items and still no rush or crowds.
My other daughter and husband went to Wal-Mart and said it was just like an ordinary Saturday they got everything they wanted as he was responsible for the electronic purchases. Even got a new blender but we have strict no blender for gift rules. A blender as a gift equals an instant divorce filing so the new very good blender which only cost $14 is now fully operational on the kitchen worktop.
We went to Palm Springs on saturday for some R&R and paid a visit to the Cabazon outlet mall. It was like a madhouse. We only stayed 40 minutes after parking in god knows where miles away it was too crazy for me. I saw on the news about the crowds everywhere so what gives is it Arizona? Does the fact that we have now lost more jobs than Michigan have anything to do with it. Where is our presidential hopeful John McCain as Arizona slips deeper into the Abyss with a mother of all commercial real estate crisis predicted for the New Year maybe our Black Friday turnout is an indication of just how bad our economy is.
