BLACK FRIDAY TIPS:
-Check out Amazon.com. The price wars between Walmart, Target, and Amazon are always strong and Amazon is matching and beating many deals while providing free shipping so check online before you shop.
-Be prepared. Before you head out to the store, research the Black Friday ads (which I will be posting as the become available) and outline exactly what you would like to purchase. And to be extra prepared, you can even research the layout of your store, so you'll know exactly where to head to grab the items on your list.
-Make your list before you go shopping. This will keep you focused and will definitely help to prevent you from being tempted to purchase additional items that are not on the list.
-Wear comfy shoes and appropriate outerwear and consider leaving the kiddos at home (if this is not possible, bring toys or other items to keep them entertained while shopping).
-Know your store's hours (some stores are opening on Thanksgiving night while others are waiting until the wee hours of Friday morning)
-Make an attack plan for the day with achievable goals.
-Plan that the roads will be busier.
-Remember to ask yourself whether the great deal you see is actually a great deal for you. You may also want to research online prices versus in-store prices, as you can often snag better deals online even when you factor in shipping costs. Plus, think about the time and gas saved when shopping online!
-Bring some snacks with you in case you find yourself in a large line.
-Don't forget your coupons at home!
-Keep those receipts! After the adrenaline rush is over, you may realize that you got caught up in the Black Friday craziness and purchased items that you really do not want. As long as you have the receipt, you should be able to return them and get a full refund.
-A cheap ticket price can often mean a cheap quality product. Spend some time researching products you may want to buy.
-Don't give up! If the item you are looking for is not on the shelf or display, check the front of the store where other shoppers may have left items they weren't sure about before checking out. Or, check with your cashier to see if someone happened to change their mind at the register and leave the item you were looking for there.
-If you can't find something that you want or miss out on a deal do not stress there is still Cyber Monday, and a month until Christmas.
