conv: I battled the crowds at the huge store in town and I won!  The kids are ready for school tomorrow! I fought off hordes of people shopping for school stuff all at the same time and I won!  I got everything on their lists! Was it like black friday? lol YES.  *chuckle!*  School starts tomorrow here and it was absolutely insane.  The worst part was_comma_ usually I go to the store regularly before 10A because there's less people in there and I can just kinda stroll through the aisles.  Oh no_comma_ not today.  It was just about elbow to elbow! Stick to your routine next time I have to grocery shop on Thursday and hopefully the furor will have died down.  But I was in the checkout line and I swore that next year_comma_ I'm ordering stuff online and having it all shipped and just keeping my happy self at home!   I hear ya! I am definitely shopping online Especially since I was just browsing and a lot of online places have deals better than the ones in store! plus you can usually get some kind of cash back. I love deals
