Ahhh! Crazy shoppers!

I was just checking in to see how many of us survived the mad rush of Black Friday. It is my understanding that the U.S. is one of the only places where people go completely insane for $1.50 savings on towels and socks. Seriously I watched a lady take an elbow to the face (prob broke her nose) last night at Wal-Mart for a few bucks off on some towels. I bet that nose will cost more than her savings on towels.

Anyone else see some crazy stuff?

Bytheway the deals here at SM are pretty nice I might be picking up the Alien Package now user added image

Lol yeah true enough when I walked out of Wal-Mart everyone's cars had fliers on them talking about holiday loans and no interest credit cards until 2012 like that matters anyways most credit cards take about a month before interest starts accruing.

I just saw on the news that some insane woman in Florida used pepper spray on people to get a head start into the store! lol They also said 159,000,000 people were expected to go shopping on Black Friday! I find that incredibly hard to believe as that is around 50% of the entire population of the US.
