Park Resident Swears Off Toy Store After Black Friday Chaos

Manassas Park resident Rachel Kirkland takes on Black Friday and lives to tell about it. Oh and she only spent $100.

The game plan: My plan was really loose.  My son's birthday is Oct. 29.  Shopping for Christmas always starts right around then.  I have some stuff from Toys R Us' Big Book and a layaway from another good weekend sale.  Today was about random deals and clothes for the boys.  Fair Oaks is my mall of choice.  My mom always meets me, driving in from Silver Spring The deals: Fifty percent off at Abercrombie before 9 a.m., Macy's $10 off coupon, 30 percent off at Gymboree, $10 jeans at JCPenney. The recap:  I hit Abercrombie's 50 percent off sale for a couple of shirts for Jacob.  He gets a lot of hand me downs, so I splurge on names for him here and there to fill in.  He calls Abercrombie "the oose store" and likes their shade of green in tees…
