Black Friday Virgin...Any Suggestions???

[lilmama_0107]

Well, I think I'll have to venture out this Black Friday. I've never been in all the 28 years I've been alive, and I'm not sure how to go about it. My only hope in getting my kids anything this year is to find some really awesome deals. Anybody have any suggestions as to where to look online for what stores will have to offer? Where do I look, how early do I go, so on and so on. Thanks ladies!!!!

I've only done it a few times but here are my tips

Look at the ads online or in the paper thanksgiving morning. 

Know what you want and know where you want to go.

If you really want something; start there and get there early.

And patience is a virture on that day. When people lose their patience that is when trouble starts!

Good luck!

Best advice...beware of little old ladies. They WILL run you over to get what they want!

LOL

I have never run into a little old lady doing that; its always the younger folks who are rude, inconsiderate and make themselves look like total idiots.

I had a grandmother climb over me to get a $10 cabbage patch doll.

Black Friday is the ONE day i refuse to leave the house....I just have never had a good experience with shopping on this day.lol

I know people who get up and moving as early as 3am....out and shopping by 4....stores open EXTREMELY early on black friday....it's insane!

im pretty sure all stores offer a deal, each deal is differant...thats the "joy" of black friday.

My best advice: carry as little as possible with you (no big cluncky purses) DO NOT bring the kids, and wear soem good comfy shoes! You are in for the long run on Black Friday!

(oh and with all the sickness going on, carry some hand sanitizer! lol)

make a list first of stores and time they open and time the sales end,

also remember it is oing to be busy be patient it will take a while to check out.

it will be crowded people are rude

 i just looked at the ads on tgiblackfriday.com, My suggestion is to remember to just have patience. Most stores start at 5am and if you really want something that is a super deal, plan to start camping out around 2-3am. Remember that most deals end between 11am-12pm. Also, JC Pennys and Sears usually has great deals on clothing, and Targets ad is the best i have seen this year IMO.

ETA: Walmart is usually the most dangerous, if you can, steer clear, if you want a deal there, know where it is located and hold it in your hands, people have taken it out of my cart in the past when i turned my head

We price match as much as we can. That way sometimes you can cut a store out of your trip or guarantee you get something because the original store could sell out.

Man, you are not kidding!!! They look all sweet an innocent, than, just when you let them cut in front of you...BAM!!!! LOL
