I did it! I went shopping on Black Friday for the first time ever. I woke up at 3am, my step mom picked me up at 4am and we were in lines waiting by 4:30am. It was tons of fun, I was naughty and I budged in line to get a "big deal" item, which really wasn't needed since there were plenty of them I had the chance to get some other "big deal items" but didn't think we needed them, so I didnt, then I came home to find out we COULD HAVE used them. Oops, maybe next year! The funnest part is, none of it was for me :-) I was buying stuff that other people asked me to pick up for them, but it was the thrill that excited me!
I can't believe the way people spend thier money that morning (which most years I do too) buying sale items because they are cheap, not becuase they are needed. I try to remind myself its not a deal if you dont NEED it. But honestly how much in life to we really need? Do we all need TVs, computers, internet? I think I do, but do I? Really I need food to eat and a place to lay my head at night. So in the end, its okay that I didn't get anything for us, because I do have my needs met (plus a few extras!).

See I am Canadian so we don't have Black Friday - on the 26th of December we have Boxing Day. It's the same idea though - we don't live in a big city so I don't hit up the shops but isn't it amazing what people will do for a deal. I guess it is good for Christmas shopping but you are right, do we NEED these things or are we just material hungry?? I am going to go with the latter! Good for you for being in control:)
