Frugal Tip Monday-Tips To Get The Most Out Of Black Friday

Can you believe that Black Friday is this week. On Frugal Tip Monday-Black Friday Websites 2009 I gave some online sites that were dedicated to posted the ads and deals for Upcoming Black Friday.

Here a couple of tips that I thought would be useful and make your shopping experience less stressful and hassle-free.


1. Make a List-Knowing exactly what you are looking for. This can eliminate overspending and buying certain items that you do not need. Remain focused on what you are there to purchase, Black Friday are very limited so make sure you prioritize.

2. Strategize Store Locations-Everyone is having great deals but you cannot be in several places all at once. Choose which deals you feel are the most important because some offers are so unbelievable it is worth a shot.

3. Be Early-This is the key factor in getting the deals. "The early bird catches the first worm" and in this case they are so right. There are some dedicated shoppers out there that can start to arrive at certain locations 2 or more hours in advance. So grab a cup of coffee and a bagel and get ready to camp out for the long haul.

4. Carry a Shopping Partners- I am a firm believer in having a shopping partner. Not only for safety but also to be another set of arms to snag certain deals. Four arms are better than Two. While someone is running the other person can be in tow the shopping cart.

5. Be SAFE- This is the most important tip. Losing your life is not worth any amount of money. Please act like an adult.

SO ARE THERE ANY TIPS THAT YOU ARE TAKING?

Fashion Tip 4-Online Shopping 101

Shopping online is one of my favorite past times. Browsing at your leisure, no lines, and being to find your size with digging through the racks are all pluses in my book.
Learning how to shop online can be very rewarding and in my opinion better that shopping in store.

Knowing the Store Policy
Making purchases from stores that you frequent are particularly easy, you know your the cut of the clothing and what your running size will be. But if you are buying from someplace new ALWAYS CHECK THE RETURN/EXCHANGE POLICY. Knowing their procedures are a great way to still get the convenience of online shopping and the comfort of shopping in store.
Making the mistake and not knowing the store procedures can create a unpleasant experience for you as the shopper.

Comparison Shopping
Trying to find exactly what you are looking for online can be such a hassle. Being able to go to a particular place and have options pulled and priced are the advantages of online, A One Stop Shop. Comparison Shopping is a great tool for the new "cyber" shopper.

Here are some of my favorite Comparison Shopping sites:

1. Price grabber
2. Shopping
3. Like
4. The Find
5. Smarter

Have Fun and Happy Shopping
