Black Friday can get a little out of hand. The excitement, determination and exhilaration builds up the closer you get to the big day! But before we get to the goods, you should be fully prepared, or as prepared as you can be for a day like Black Friday.
Here are our top 5 tips to make Black Friday an easy and enjoyable experience.
- Don’t snooze! Whether you want to be in front of the line at the store or gain access to the websites first, you have to be early. Plan your time accordingly and make sure you don’t miss out!
- Have a sidekick or a team. You can NOT do black Friday alone! If you’re doing online shopping, it’s easier so whoever gains access first can shop for you. And if you’re at the mall, you can split the lists.
- Know what you want. The worst thing is having to browse on the day, there’s really no time! Have your list ready.
- Stay in the know. Sign up for newsletters, get a few flyers, buy the newspaper, keep an eye on social media… Whatever you do, just make sure you know where the best deals are, it will make it easier for you to plan because some stores have sales running the entire week, while others only have sales on the day.
- Set a budget. No one wants to leave a hole in their wallet, so be sure to know how much you are willing to spend and stick to it.
