Nope, get ready because I have a little secret to share with you. So hide your computer screen from your kiddos as, I will also be sharing with you, this year’s Top 10 Holiday Hot Toy List. As well as some of my favorite doorbusters and saving event at my favorite store!
If you been shopping for Black Friday sales, you know this is the time to score the best deals out there. The best part is that you get your holiday shopping done without busting your wallet! 🙂 Okay, so here are some tips to get you through the black Friday shopping without a scratch.
- Do your homework. If you are a Black Friday pro, you know that preparation is key to getting through this day and scoring the best deals out there. So, study the ads, in print or online. For example, you can head on over to the BJ’s Webpage and check out all the deals that will be available during their Thanksgiving weekend sale’s event.
- Stick to your plan. Sounds easy? Well, it all has to do with preparation. First of all, make a list based on the Black Friday ads and stick to it. Secondly, while shopping, keep a running total of what you have in your shopping cart. Finally, paying your purchases with a credit card, one that gives you points for your purchases, is the best way to go. But keep in mind that your best bet is to pay credit card balance off before any interests are accrued.
- Black Friday Discounts. Sounds like an oxymoron, right? Well, not so much! Discounts in the form of coupons can be found in your Black Friday ads, printable coupons, physical manufacturer coupons or even in-store coupon booklets. For instance, my local BJ’s wholesale club offers a Black Friday coupon booklet that helps me save even more money while shopping, plus I can pair their coupons with manufacture’s coupons to save even more.
- Last but not least. Come prepared. Shopping can be loads of fun, so come prepared. Before you head out the door, load some of your favorite tunes to your phone, this way, you have something to do while you check out. Hey, if you can bring your shopping partner, that would be even more fun, right? 🙂 Also bring with your favorite cup of Joe or a water bottle, you don’t want to get thirsty while you scoring amazing holiday gifts. Lastly, the night before, you should clear out your car’s trunk because you have to make space for your scores!
