I thought I would be one of those people who would never step foot in a store on Thanksgiving Day. Then last year happened........

I decided, and publicly stated on the air, that if - after Thanksgiving dinner with my family- other family members wanted to hit a couple of stores together, I would go. And we did. And we had a great time.

We enjoyed a wonderful day of feasting and football at my nieces home last year on Thanksgiving. And then, while the guys continued to watch football, the girls took off for a little shopping fun. I'm not even crazy about shopping, but it was fun because we did it together.  And found bargains. And more fun. And we might do it again this year. No judging allowed.

Target, Toys R Us, Kohls and Best Buy have all announced they will be open later in the day on Thanksgiving. Last year we only went to Herberger's in Moorhead. I haven't heard yet if they will be open again this year. Click here for a list of store openings and their hours.
