Today I could have screamed. By today I mean 12:27am. Yep, I was up typing away on the computer trying to get the best deals at Toys R Us without the hassle of going to the store. I even fooled the system. I logged on as if I lived in South Carolina so I could shop the Black Friday ads at 10:00pm here in Colorado. Boy, was I tricky. I had everything in my cart. Ready to check out. But wait, I needed one more thing. Click, click...update order...computer froze. I had my credit card number already entered. All I had to do was hit "Send" and I would have received the lowest prices of the season never to be repeated again in 100 years. I got greedy. Shoot! I tried to get back on but guess what? Everything was SOLD OUT! That's because Toys R Us was wise to my game. I tried to fool the system and Karma came back to bite me. Or did it?
I held it together and slunk into bed at 12:37am. Yes, I was on the computer for 2 hours trying to get my deals back. Never worked. But I would not be defeated.
I schlepped on over to Target at 10:00am today to look for a few deals. I took my Toys R Us ad with me because I heard that there was this amazing thing called "Price Matching". Wow! Who thought of that?! You mean I don't have to go all over creation to get the items I want at the price I want?! Now you've got my attention. Can you say "idog for $5.00 at Target"? Yes! Good Karma is back! Yes, I bought every single idog at Target. Okay, there were only three. Those of you reading this that have children that are friends with my children, your child will probably receive one of these on their next birthday. That's the whole point. Save and stock up. Spend money to save money. Oh well, I had fun anyway. So take that Toys R Us. Fooled you anyway.
