The big day is almost here and I want you to be prepared!!!!! Black Friday is NOT a day for rookies to head to the stores alone. But just incase you are new to this here are some tips!

Black Friday Shopping Tips!

1) Make Friends with the folks in line!!!

This is going to help you!!!!! Last year I stood in line FOREVER and then minutes before the doors opened I realized I left my purse in the car! BAD MOVE!!! Luckily, the person behind me let me keep my spot in line but others might not be so lucky. This is why you need to build a bond with the people in line…maybe even share some snacks! :)

2)Come Prepared!!!

Make a detailed list of EVERYTHING you hope to get. Maybe even label them by most important so you know the exact direction you need to head to once the doors open. Also, bring any papers, coupons, etc with you!

3) Check your smartphone for deals too!

Of course it is more common for us to check out the newspaper and mail for store deals but don’t forget about online and most importantly your phone! I hear that a lot of great deals will come thru certain apps on your phone…whether it is a certain store or the Groupon app!

4) Stay on track!

Get what you are looking for. Everything will seem appealing once you walk into the store but remember to focus on the list. These are the items that you family and friends REALLY want and brought to your attention. Stay focused or you will spend your money on unnecessary things!
