I looked through the ads for Black Friday, and Target's caught my eye with Vampire Diaries Season 1 for $12. The problem was the crowds. I did not want to deal with that, but I was willing for so cheap.
Then I was reading random articles a few days later, and I discovered Amazon was having lightning deals the whole week of Thanksgiving. They had certain items for super cheap during specific 4 hour periods that only came around once - with limited supply, of course. Luckily, I discovered the lightning deals just two hours before Smallville Season 9 went on sale. I snagged mine for $9.99 and got free shipping!
Of course, I searched for Vampire Diaries, and discovered it would be on sale on Black Friday at 5:30 AM. How annoyingly early! Ugh! However, I was originally willing to go to Target and fight the crowds at 4, but this way I could go back to bed 10 minutes later. So I got up at 5:25 and bought my copy for $12.99, and again got free shipping! With no tax, I actually got it cheaper than I would have at Target.
I know I need to be saving money, but how could I pass up almost $100 in savings??? Especially on something I would eventually buy anyway? It's my Christmas present to me since Steve got Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood. It's only fair, right?
