TIGHTLY COMPACTED - WORDLESS WEDNESDAY W/ LINKY



 
 
My dear friend and I went black Friday shopping last week. Some say it's crazy to do this but we had a nice time from 6 AM to 7:30 PM we shopped and got most of the deals we set out to do. It was a nice girls day out.
 
My husband has a compact car that we took shopping and it was filled to the brim with shopping bags, we had to go back to my house to drop packages off and then back out to do more shopping,
 
Here is how crazy the car was:

    I love Black Friday shopping so much! My husband and I go every year and we start just shortly after the stores open which this year was about 10pm ish. We got home about 6:45am! So fun! Looks like you got some great deals!

    I can't believe you were able to fit so much stuff in there! I have never been into black Friday shopping, but I love seeing what other people end up with.

    Shopping or shifting (moving house)? Either way it made me laugh, thanks.

    Good for you. It looks like you got some amazing deals.
    As for me...
    I didn't go anywhere near the malls. Just too crowded for me.

    Holy cow, that is a tight squeeze! Hats off to you, not only for braving the crowds (something I'm not brave enough to do), but also for fitting it all!

    Wow! You are a very brave woman! I have never experienced a Black Friday shopping adventure before. This year I was somewhat tempted, but then I saw pictures of the crowds and I'm glad I chose to pass on it. I just don't do well with such big crowds. I'm closterphobic, and there are just too many crazies out there. I like to shop when I'm in the mood, but even on a normal shopping day I get flustered with people. Anywho, I am linked up here, and stopping by from Sakura Haruka. Have a great night, and Happy Holidays!

    I've never seen a car packed up with so much stuff before. That totally tells so much about how much fun you gals had! I didn't go Black Friday shopping...couldn't let the kids endure that craziness. But after seeing your pics, I kinda wished I went out there to look!
