Santa has the right idea in terms of planning ahead. If you are attempting to score any major deals tomorrow, it would be a good idea on your part to plan ahead. Here are some tips for making the most of the biggest shopping day of the year.
- Scrutinize ads to compare prices. Some stores (like Wal-Mart) will match a competitor's price as long as you have the ad in print. Look for print coupons, too.
- Make a list of the stores you plan to visit and what you want to specifically look for when in that store. Jot down the sizes of your gift recipients (if you don't have them committed to memory, or if they might vary from store to store).
- Map out where you are going and when. Make note of stores that have special offers that expire at certain times (i.e.- 40% off the entire store until 8 AM) and be sure to prioritize.
-Bring any coupons with you!!
- Pack a snack and a bottled water... just in case you need it.
- Be patient and have a good attitude. Being in a rotten mood will not make a long line move any faster.
- Come home... and nap.... and delight in your savings!
Last year I ventured with my family to Williamsburg at the crack of dawn (really before dawn). The savings were too good to pass up. I came across a Lacoste dress that originally retailed for $95. When the discounts were applied... I got it for $14!! That's one of my all-time favorite deals! I hope that's the case this year as well.
