We were in Yankton over the holiday and my sister was also pondering going to the 5 AM sale at Kmart and I decided to join her on this shopping trip. To avoid a useless trip to Walmart and maybe grab a few more winks of sleep that night before going to Kmart, I decided to call Walmart to scope things out. In calling them, I learned that all of the TVs I was looking to purchase had already been spoken for and tickets had been handed to all of those in line for them. It was EARLY?! It was not midnight. Ugh. I truly don't understand all the rules that go into this shopping day!
So, slightly bummed I went to bed. After finishing our fruitless trip to Kmart at 5 AM, my sister and I decided to make a trip to Walmart to check out a couple things.
Now sit down.....
You will never guess what I happened upon......
While strolling through the VERY quiet, calm, line-less, stressless Walmart store at 5:30 AM, we came upon a Walmart employee by electronics pushing a cart with the TV I was hoping to purchase some 5 1/2 hours earlier. I quietly asked her if it was for sale and she said yes! The person that had gotten the ticket for this particular TV apparently decided against it once they got to the register and it was being returned to the sales floor. For me. :-)
Best. Black Friday. Ever.
Telling my disappointed husband about my win when we got home in the morning, priceless! He was like a kid on Christmas morning when we got home from our trip today. And the TV quickly found its way out of the box!
May each of you find your unexpected bargains this holiday shopping season!
Happy Holidays!
