Ø
Have a plan. To start your ‘plan of attack’
explore the store flyers and visit Black
Friday.com. Write down the items
that you plan to buy and the cost of each to prevent wandering without
direction and forgetting what was on sale and where. Be sure to bring the ads with you!
Ø
Bring a friend to join in the fun. If you have a limited budget, ask them to
stop you if you are lured into buying something that was not on your list or in your
budget.
Ø
Prepare Some Snacks to Bring Along. If you are
on a mission to visit as many stores as possible, avoid lines at restaurants and save money by bringing some healthy snacks and
a few water bottles along.
Ø
Consider visiting small boutiques and gift shops
where the crowds might be less. You may find the prices are equivalent and you
may also find some unique, fun gifts while also avoiding some of the Black
Friday craziness.
Ø
Price Matching.
If you do not have time to visit multiple stores, bring your flyers to
one store. Many stores offer price
matching---show them the flyer and they may be willing to match the price on
the exact same item.
Ø
Unable to get out and shop? Spend time with your friends and family and consider
Cyber Monday and shop from the comfort
of your home!
Ø
If you are a night owl, many stores are
beginning to offer their Black Friday late on Thanksgiving Day—this may be the
perfect opportunity to get a head start and get some walking in after a big
Thanksgiving meal.
If you plan ahead with the right agenda and resources, Black Friday can be less stressful than you planned. Or, you can choose to spend quality time with your family, and prepare for Cyber Monday.
