My Best Buy Shopping Nightmare

I went to Best Buy on Black Friday. I know. I deserve a medal. But, anyway, I went, and put on my bravest face. They wouldn’t scare me! I would wait an eternity if I had to.
I did. I was there to buy an external DVD/CD R/W Drive, compatible with USB 2.0. For myself, of course. Everyone else’s gifts come from Dollar Tree. Anyway, this is in the computer section of Best Buy. Because it goes with your computer. And, this whole section was roped off. You had to wait in a line for forty five minutes and fill out a form just to look at the products you were going to buy. It sort of reminded me of rations in Communist Russia. Keep in mind, my dad and I had to stand in line for forty five minutes just minutes earlier at Staples to buy an external hard drive with.... 1TB of memory!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yay! Anyway, we stood in line. I was so tired. I thought about bribing someone to buy me coffee. So, we finally get to the end of the line, after nearly an hour, and we meet our guide who’s supposed to answer any questions we had. She asks us if we want a desktop, or a laptop. “Neither,” I reply, and proceed to tell her what it is we need in the most nerdish way possible to try to make myself sound smarticle. She does that thing people do when something is amiss and they just look at you and blink in amazement. She then informs us that we did not have to wait in that terrible line to begin with. As you can well imagine, I was not a happy camper. And, to top it all off, we had to keep telling people that we didn’t want a desktop. Or a laptop. That we just wanted to pay our thirty bucks and go home.
Now, before you say that this was my fault for shopping on Black Friday, believe me, I saved a ton of cash. And, although I know you don’t care, I’m going to tell you everything I got and the price :)

1. A printer for $30
2. An external hardrive with a terabyte of memory for $50
3. An external.... OH FORGET IT! The thingy mabobbit I waited in line for, $30
4. A blue purse from Claire’s (I wanted a different purse from Spencer’s, but they were sold out and I’m impatient) for....idk
5. A bracelet, hair pin, and earrings from Claires....again, IDK and IDC
6. Pink perfume and lotion combo from Victoria’s Secret for $15
7. Lovespell lotion, body mist, and bubble bath combo from Victoria’s Secret for $15



Also, I still have money left, and I plan on spending it today. Oh, and Claire’s and Victoria’s secret gave me a redeemable rewards mabobbit, so I’ll be going back there next weekend.
