black friday survival guide

         Thanksgiving has just ended and now it's time for you to save big in the year's greatest sale day: BLACK FRIDAY.

here are some tips on how to survive this hectic shopping day without getting trampled by angry old ladies:

 TIP #1

bring a "line-waiter" 

if you find someone who doesn't care about shopping that has free time(or owes you a favor), have them stand in line for you. i think it would be fair if they get paid back. however, chances are it will be hard to find a person willing to stand in line for and hour or so while you go shopping. so now for tip #2

 TIP #2

shop in a group or at least bring a partner

with others, you can take turns waiting in line : one person or more waits in line while the other person/people shop. then after a while they switch. of course this is when you are at a place like target, best buy, or kohls with HUGE lines for checkout.

 TIP #3

rise and shine (:

if you plan on getting the best choices in the least amount of time, you better be ready to wake up on time or already be waiting outside the store door.

 TIP #4 

have a survival kit in handy

if you plan on being a hardcore shopper, then you are in dire need (woohoo vocab) of a black friday survival kit.  shopping is hard work so be sure to have some snacks and water to restore your energy. also if you wake up early-as in 3:00AM early- a cup of coffee or to go espresso may help too. if your parents don't really want you to have any coffee-type-drinks, then just get some hot chocolate.  its warm and gets you in the holiday mood(:

another thing about black friday shopping, is it can get messy, take some hand sanitizer with you because you don't know where things have been, or how many sick people touched it.

 TIP #5

coupons and ads

if you have coupons or other competing store ads, you can save even more money. some stores like Walmart match prices so you can save as much with out going to that many places. 

 TIP #6

compare online prices

compare store prices with online prices, you may even get to save more when blackout monday comes around (it's like a blackfriday for computer ordering stuff)

thats all for now 

thought of the day:

the first time i went black friday shopping, i imagined more pushing and shoving and got dissapointed with the order so instead, i walked zig-zag-like through the aisles like a ninja :P

hope you guys had a thankfully, thankfelt, thankshipful,, thankish, thankerrific, Thanksgiving (:
