Do your research! Some items are not that great of a deal as it appears. It’s all the hype. You may be able to find some of the same items, at the same price or cheaper. Don’t be quick to settle on a Black Friday deal.

I shop online instead of at stores. There are great deals and I don’t have to deal with crowds.
My tip is to shop the cyber sales from home and avoid the crowds.

My Black Friday tip is to stay home. I did all of my shopping at Amazon.com. I am now finished. I do not shop on what I call Buy Nothing Day.
Have fun shopping. I’ll be relaxing at home.

My tip is to shop online. The last 2 years I’ve come home to shop for items I couldn’t find in the stores only to see almost all of the same deals online, and none of the lines or crowds. Plus at home there’s food and a clean bathroom.

My Black Friday Tip: Wear warm clothing if you’re going to be outside. Shop from your list.

My tip besides staying at home. Is to make a list of the things you are really going shopping for & stick to that list. They will have TONS of other stuff on sale that you didnt go in for & dont need to spend the money on. & shopping with friends is a must, its just not as fun alone ;c)

I like to take a nice hot travel mug of coffee and my mama. We have the best time, just being together at the most rediculious hours. lol Seriously, when are you out, running around with your mom, in the dark like sillies, giggling and people watching. What a blast. Even if we don’t come home with much but great memories, it was all worth it to hang out and have fun together. :O)
My best tip is to buy as much as possible online.

I say shop online if you don’t like all the crowds & hustle bustle. Many times you can get comparable deals & shop in the comfort of your own home.
Thanks for the giveaway!

Best Black Friday Tip? Don’t go in a group – Everyone wants to go their own way, lower the stress level and either go by yourself or with 1 person.

Best tip: Make a list, figure out what you really need (not what you might want) and buy only from the list. Don’t be afraid to walk out of the store with nothing if they are all out of what you wanted. That is how they really get you. You go in, they don’t have what you want, so you see something else that is a ‘good deal’. But it usually isn’t….

Hmm… here’s a funny from last year. I saw something at Best Buy that I really wanted. We got up early (with the kid) and headed on over there… and it turns out the Best Buy promotion that I was looking at was ONLINE ONLY. DOH! We got up and drove out there for NOTHING. *sigh*
So, my advice is… read the fine print.
