Top 5 tips for shopping on Black Friday
Research- Research which stores have what deals and when they all open. Visit www.blackfriday2010.com for deals and previews on Black Friday ads.
Plan- Plan ahead and know where you will be going. Plan as early as now. Some places already have deals out on the Internet. Also, Thanksgiving Day is when the official black Friday ads come out.
Specifics- Know exactly what you would like to buy and specify who has the best deals for you. This makes it easier to get in and out.
Numbers- Everything is better in numbers. Take a group of friends with you to better divide and conquer.
Safety- Be safe. No pushing shoving and getting violent. Black Friday has a history of all of it. People were killed last year at a Walmart in Connecticut; the threat is real, so be careful.
