    Top Black Friday Shopping Tips

    ,


    Black Friday Deals! Not for amateurs! You have to be quick & savvy. If you’re shopping online, don’t clear your cookies as the ads they produce can give you insights into the best deals first. Usually though, clearing your cookies is good practice when it comes to your online privacy. There is an art to Black Friday shopping and you have to be organized and ready for whatever is thrown your way. Crowds, lines, and only a few items up for grabs can bring out the worst in people. Don’t get greedy. If it’s meant to be you’ll have whatever it is, if it’s not, move on! It’s not worth fighting with someone over an item. Be thankful for what you have!

    I’m a strategist, list shopper and I like to know exactly what I’m buying, & who I’m buying for. If I see something not really on my list. I stop, think, and maybe talk it out with my shopping buddy. If I’m going to purchase an electronic item, I research it and wait to see what Cyber Monday deals there are.

    Be savvy! It can be a jungle out there! Searching for online discount codes and clipping coupons can really save you a fortune so plan ahead and make sure you make use of all the deals available! Here are some helpful tips to help you get the deals!

    Top Black Friday Shopping Tips (to get what you want!)

    1. Plan your attack from the start.
    2. Make a list of who you need to buy for.
    3. Read the paper & online ads~ clip any must-haves and take them with you.
    4. Have an idea of what you want to buy, make a list.
    5. Map out your route of what stores you want to hit & what order.
    6. Shop with a friend or hubby! Divide & conquer or switch off! Have someone wait in line while you shop than in the next store you wait in line while friend shops! I’m sure there will be some stores you may only want one thing and your friend can grab it while completed their list. As there will be a group of you, you guys will be able to fight off staff who do not provide good enough customer service and avoid this negativity in such a stressful time. All they have to do is look right here and then they’ll understand that providing good customer service really isn’t that hard!
    7. Download some price comparing apps so you know if you are getting a deal.{Check out my News Segment ” There is an App for that” }

    Happy shopping! What kind of deals are you hoping to get?

      I have been preparing my Black Friday list since last week. I will buy gifts for my friends and relatives for the holidays and I’ll buy decors as well. Gosh, I am so excited! I hope I can get the best deal of my life now! Yaiy!

      Thanks for sharing these tips! You wouldn’t believe it but I have never been shopping on Black Friday, I have always been scared to but really want to go this year.

      I always buy online! I don’t want to shop with people because I know there are some die-hards out there!

      I used to do this and made plans like this, but I usually just hit up a couple local places, not the mall. Most of my shopping is for the family, not too many gifts to buy.

      I do all my Black Friday shopping from the comfort of my home. These are amazing tips but my anxiety is just too much to deal with large crowds

      Thank you for these tips. I love Black Friday shopping. I generally just do it online now. It’s just too crowded for me in stores.

      You definitely need to make a list of people to buy for! I do a lot of my shopping on Cyber Monday also.

      I have not shopped a Black Friday sale in quite a while. It’s a little too crazy for me. Everyone’s in a while I feel the adventuresome spirit can and then I find what I need and run and grab it. But I do love these pointers. I might just go this year.

      These are good tips. It helps to be organized and know what you want to buy to save time. I no longer have family to buy for but I remember the days of trying to figure out what to get for people. It was a struggle.
