Tips for Surviving Black Friday

Every year we start to prepare for that day. The day after Thanksgiving where we are looking for Black Friday when you get the official start of the holiday season. There will be thousands of people out to get those once a year deals and here are some tips to help you get ready.

1. Research: start your Black Friday with research early I suggest Pretty Frugal Diva in the Black Friday Section.
2. Prepare:Figure out what you want to buy that day and which stores are opening first.
3. Limit Quantity means nothing for you: be wary of Black Friday deals with quantity limits 9 times out of 10 you are going to miss this sale unless you spend your entire weds night and Thanksgiving Day camping out in front of the store. Ummm yeah not worth it.
4. Store Map: In other words stock out the store before the sale so you will have an idea of were to head.
5. No Killing for cheap gifts: Previous Black Friday sales have resulted in injury you do not have to stomp or shoot someone for a $199 laptop I mean really is it worth it?
6. Take a shopping Crew: go with a team and attack separate sections of the same store. Coordinate the night before and have your crew on speed dial its fun and it works.
7. Rookie Mistake: only amateurs stop at the food court on Black Friday! Nuff Said
8. Local Stores: All stores will have black friday sales so be sure to check all stores even the small ones
9. Be Safe: Be sure to put your bags in the trunk of your car. This is the safest place to keep them while you shop.
10. Stay Home: When all else fails you can stay home most of the time and get the same deals.
