How to go shopping on Black Friday by BrittaP03

"There's no doubt about it: If you're on a limited budget then this is the day you want to get out there!"

How I did it: I suffer from the occasional anxiety attack, and large masses of people generally make me nervous.  Given the 2008 financial situation and my generally limited budget, I decided to give it a shot.  I wasn't one of those Black-Friday-A-Holics who have been drooling for this for weeks, and I haven't been up since midnight either.  I went to Walmart at 6:30 a.m. (which could be considered late by some of you hard-liners), and the parking lot was mobbed.  It took some combing through the store since the advertised bargains I had in mind were not always easily visible or logically placed.  I got out of there spending less than $100.00 and also got some things that I really needed for work and my lesson planning!

Lessons & tips: Keep and eye out for the ads they send a week or so before.

Resources: Even works on a small budget, which is great!

How I did it: Start with a plan. You need to know exactly what you want to buy and where you want to buy it. You can find this information out by buying a paper on Thanksgiving. All the sale ads will tell you their "doorbuster" deals and opening times on Black Friday. Some advertisements tell you how many of each item will be available (especially for extremely limited items). Make a list for each store with the items you want to buy and their price.

    What a mess! 22 months ago

    I did this a few years ago. I first tried to hit some doorbusters at Best Buy and got shut out there, so we ended up at the mall and just kind of wandered around. We made our way over to Circuit City and enjoyed the all-cds-$7 or whatever the offer was and that was about it. A couple years ago I went to CompUSA’s Thanksgiving night sale and came out pretty well there. I don’t do much Christmas shopping now anyway and this year I ended up doing almost all my shopping online.

    It was really crazy! I will probably never do this again. I went, but I didn’t buy anything because the lines were so long!!! I hope you all have fun out there!

    I want to do this 1 year ago

    I’ve never really been shopping on black Friday before. When I lived in Birmingham I did this crazy shopping thing for a few years. They would open one of the malls at midnight on Thanksgiving night. It was so crazy and packed that you couldn’t even shop. I’m never done the whole wake up early and shop on Friday thing though. I’m doing it this year!
