The thrill of pouring over the ads… planning the store-to-store route… getting up early to get the steals, deals and free stuff… If you're a Black Friday shopper – or even if you're not, and you just use this time as your Christmas gift-buying kick-off, you need to plan ahead. Make a list now that covers the following:
(1) Who you need gifts for.
(2) What you're planning to buy.
(3) Specific sizes, color preferences, and the like for individuals on your list.
(4) How much you can afford to spend per person.
(5) How much you can afford to spend overall.
(6) Be sure to leave “room” in your budget for unexpected deals while you're out shopping.
(7) Now that you are ready to pour over the ads, once they are released, you can note the items you intend on getting. Then, you'll have time to cross-reference the information for each item online. This is one way to help insure you are truly getting a great deal. If you don't, it's so easy to get swept away in the excitement and spend too much.
HATE Black Friday and fighting the crowds? Through the power of the internet, you can get many Black Friday deals online. There are deals throughout the Holiday season, and especially on Cyber Monday. Plus, many stores are starting early on “Black Friday”-type deals and pricing. So don't miss out on the special prices just because you're not crazy for crowds!
