Black Friday Shopping Tips/Suggestions

*These tips are based on my experiences.

- Bring a small purse that is snug on your body. You're probably going to be buying tons of stuff and you want free hands to browse and hold bags with.

- If you're going with others, make sure you guys are on the same page. If you're going somewhere with a long line (*cough* Express *cough*), one person can shop while the other stands in line and then switch off. If you separate, make sure you have a meet up place at a certain time in case you can't reach each other via phone. When it's wild and hectic the last thing I pay attention to is my phone.

- Print all your coupons ahead of time. Don't struggle with your smart phones to pull up coupons when you're paying. The lines will be long enough and you don't want people giving you the dirty look for holding up the line. Reception might be crap if too many people around you are on the same network.

- Know what you want before you go. If it's a particular store, check their website, find what you want, write it down and when you get to the store go straight to it. Black friday is not a day to browse racks casually. KNOW WHAT YOU WANT.

- DO NOT bring children. In fact, don't bring boyfriends/husbands/people that don't like to shop.

- Don't wear too much clothes. Leave that big puffy jacket in the car cause the mall will be hot as hell, especially when you're racing against time for awesome deals.

-DO NOT TRY ON CLOTHES. (unless it's a jacket and you can just slip it on without the fitting room) Total waste of time. Just buy what you think fits. Try it on at home and if it doesn't fit, exchange it another day.

- Bring snacks.

- Don't waste too much time at one store.

I think I just made myself sound like a total psycho black Friday shopper. haha I promise I'm not. =) 

Hope this post is useful. Happy shopping !!!!
