Psychoholic is my hubby.
My wife does this every freakin' year!
Me too. Psycho has to come along because someone has to carry the bags and I can't stop shopping to go back to the car or it throws me off schedule.
I, as well, map out the stores to hit and at exactly what time.
Then, after getting all the free gifts that she can get her hands on, she takes a short break to grab some breakfast, and then goes back to the very same stores she's already been to before, so that she can take advantage of all the great bargains.
Thats me!!!!
The freakin' old ladies are the worst! They show no remorse... throwing elbows... running over you with shopping carts... fighting for something that you both grab at the same time... stealing stuff out of unsuspecting people's carts...
Yes, be very careful when you go to Wal-mart, etc. I don't hit those stores unless I absolutely have to. Those old ladies are vicious. I opt for the mall, best buy, and circuit city.
BTW, Psycho goes every year and doesn't complain as long as I feed him regularly.

He always gets rewarded later on!!!
He actually supports me going. One year we saved right at $500. We also get our shopping done in one morning as opposed to several mall trips during Christmas.
Last year, Circuit City had $250 Sony DVD players for $49.99. I hope they have them this year. We made the mistake of not buying my parents and his parents one last year.
If you know of good sales post me some info!!!
