For all those shopping addicts: this is your day. This highly acclaimed shopping event is extremely fun, unnecessarily early, and somewhat on the dangerous side. But who wouldn't want to take part in that? Black Friday is personally one of my favorite holiday season events and I think that speaks for thousands of other people as well. That being said, here are a few tips for having the best shopping experience all night long:
1: Go to your local gas station and pick up a few papers the night before. They're packed with coupons and other hidden deals.
2: Coffee is a must have. Trust me, without it you won't be able to function for more than a couple hours. The early adrenaline of running to find the best deals wears out quickly.
3: Always eat something prior to heading out, you'll need the energy.
4: Dress warmly. Remember it's winter, and you will have to stand outside more often than not.
5: Be aggressive. Some people can get pretty competitive with things like doorbusters when there is only a limited supply, so if you want it, you're going to have to work for it.
6: A parking tip: follow the people that are carrying a lot of bags, chances are they already hit up the deals and are headed to their car to leave for the next destination.
7: Be patient. Black Friday also means a lot of waiting and a lot of people. If that's not your thing, I would suggest skipping this event and waiting for Cyber Monday.
Good luck to all the shoppers this year!
