Some Black Friday Tips

With all of the Black Friday Deals that you may wake up in the wee hours of the night to catch--use some caution and some common sense.

A lot of "door-buster" sales are just trying to lure consumers in with product markdowns--hoping that you'll spend more money than you planned to spend. My suggestion is to use a list (and Check it Twice...lol).

Take out the cash that you're going to use the day before you go shopping. This way you know that you have only a certain amount of money to spend--and no more. It's often easier to swipe a card versus spending cash, so this can help to ensure that you don't get carried away.

If you have a "shopping buddy" have them get in line while you're still picking up the last few items that you need. This will cut down on those long line waits.

Another tip is to look online for online Black Friday deals to beat the crowds...I know that I'll be looking!

Most of all--happy shopping!
