Black Friday Tips

• Plan - research all the sales and make your plan of attack. Plan out what time you need to be at each store.
• Prepare - If you are going to any of the 5am sales, prepare before you go to bed (take your shower, choose your clothes, do everything you can possibly do the night before because 5am comes early).
• Go! - When the alarm goes off, get up and go! I find that it is best to get any Black Friday shopping done by lunch. Most people don't start until then.
