I didn't go either. We have an Alco in town, but Wal-mart is 30 miles away. The mall, Target, and other stores are in Wichita which is 100 miles away! I didn't want to drive or fight the crowds bad enough to go. I'll wait until the middle of the week to do my shopping.

I'm with you ladies! I worked, so had a good excuse not to go shopping. I seriously wouldn't have gone anyway, for the very reasons you all mentioned above. I really don't enjoy crowds, so will finish up my shopping online as much as possible. I have over half done already, but time's a'wasting!

I went shopping...but in the afternoon. I wanted to miss the big crowds and I did. Got in, got what I needed, and got out. A breeze!

We got restless later in the afternoon, and all went to Academy. My husband hadn't been in their, yet. A friend of our daughters came by while we were there and we all came home and played some kind of Mario video game all evening. 4 players can play, so they got me on there. We had a blast. We laughted and ate popcorn all evening.

Academy is an outdoors/sporting good store. Here's a link to their website. http://www.academy.com/
It was a big deal for our town to get an Academy. All we had for sporting goods prior to that were the locally owned shops or Walmart. There were rumors that Academy was moving in for years and that one of the locals who was politically connected was keeping them out. The big chains are moving in everywhere. They can't be kept out forever.
