Project 365 - Day 34 - Black Friday

Today was Black Friday and yes I did have to work. In case you are unfamiliar with the meaning of Black Friday, it is the official start of the holiday shopping season and the day that there are crazy sales, usually starting at midnight. Black Friday is said to be the first day of the year that retailers are "in the black" when it comes to their books.
So, I saw a good deal on some women's golf clubs at Sports Authority so we decided to go check it out. I was still a little hesitant to buy, so we ate dinner, walked around and bought a few presents. After shopping around, the golf clubs that I originally wanted at Sports Authority were gone! So we walked around some more...and I found that the most expensive clubs at Sports Authority were actually way cheaper at KMart and WalMart! Sheesh, I almost got ripped off! In any case, I curbed my consumer appetite by purchasing a very nifty golf glove instead. Hooray for delayed gratification!
