The Warehouse Sale

Ok. Where to start with this one. Kelly's Kids is a children's clothing manufacturer based in Natchez, MS. They have high end children's clothing. Well, Krissy and I, (thanks to Aunt Trina's bright idea) decided we should go to their warehouse wipeout sale. They were running a sale in their main warehouse and all items would be only $2.99. I originally wanted to get to the sale around 6am but Krissy thought we should get there earlier. Thank goodness we did. We left the house at 1:30am and got to the warehouse at 4:00. I know, way to early for a sale that starts at 9:00am, right? WRONG!! When we got there we had about 20 people already camped out in the line in front of us. By 6 there were hundreds behind us already. By 9, at least a thousand people were behind us. We knew then that this would be madness. The doors opened at 9 exactly. They brought as many people into the warehouse that they could and had guards blocking the way to the sale. Then they gave the rules, no running, pushing, fighting, etc. Then the guards moved and it was every woman for herself. By the time you ripped items off of one rack, the next rack was empty. Thank goodness we were there early. Krissy and I ended up with a boatload of clothes. Everyone after us just kind of walked around like vultures hoping to get some scraps. We discarded probably half of what we picked up because we had duplicates or the wrong sizes and we still ended up with about 50 pieces each. They are all mostly off season pieces but they will definitely be a good base to their fall wardrobe. We definitely had a good time and can't wait until the next sale. Next time, we will bring help though now that we know what to expect.
