women and good deals

Today I woke up early to go to a warehouse sale at a Carter's outlet store. It was a madhouse. As someone who never goes shopping on the day after Thanksgiving I found it almost overwhelming although very exciting. The countdown until the doors opened and the anticipation of great deals was too much for me to handle before noon. It was almost a competition to see who could get in the door first. I got caught up in the excitement and was about the 5th person in the door, cutting off the moms with strollers, there was no way I was letting them in first. I don't know what came over me, usually I am pretty polite in that respect. I usually let people go ahead of me, hold doors for others, etc. The thrill of a deal overtook my manners. In the end I spent eleven bucks and bought three pairs of pajamas for my sons. Would I do it again? Hell yeah. It is funny to see the way women get when it comes to getting a shirt for 70% off. I wonder if this is the way men get when they are outside playing football. It was crazy and from what I hear this sale was tame compared to years past. In my opinion the deals really were not all that great to begin with but it was still interesting to see.
