How to Survive Black Friday In-Store:

If you enjoy early morning, congested traffic, cold weather, grumpy people, long lines, grabby hands and crowded aisles, or you just like the Black Friday fever you will want to be prepared.

  1. You are not alone- We are giving you the sneak peek! We are posting coupon match-ups and the hottest deals to be found at the most popular Black Friday shopping destinations! We will have our list feature so you can easily make a list of the best deals in town! Check out our Black Friday deals!
  2. Make a list and Set a Budget –  Sometimes, even though it’s a “good deal”, if it wasn’t something on your list, consider passing it up.
  3. Map It Out – map out a route, write down what times stores open.  Consider going to the store before the sale and familiarize yourself with where the item is that you want to purchase (keep in mind that they will sometimes move them for merchandising).  Write the aisle # down and keep with your “map”!
    Idea: Make a notecard for each store and cut out the item (from the ad) that you want and attach it to the notecard.  Write down hours/aisle of the item on that one notecard.  Helps you not forget the deals you wanted! Take the ads with you – sometimes your list can get long and confusing!  It’s best to always have the ads with you!
  4. Prioritize – figure out what deal is the most important to you and head to that one first, you may find that you can’t get all the deals
  5. Be Flexible. Be prepared for an item to be gone, even if it’s the first store you hit.
  6. Leave the littles at home.  Need I say more?
  7. Pack yourself some healthy snacks. You’re more prone to impulse buy when you’re hungry. If you buy snacks while you are shopping you are likely to spend too much or buy junk that will not really give you more energy. If you are frugal like me you will not buy anything until you are almost starving and have a headache from lack of nutrition. So go prepared.
  8. Take a friend! Not only is it more fun, if needed, you can separate if there are multiple great deals in the store!  Have one person stand in line with a basket, the other get items, and bring them back to the line holder this will cut down your line time. Don’t do this with more than two people, you might make people mad.
  9. Be patient.  C’mon.  It’s black Friday   There are going to be LONG lines!  Plan on it, and don’t be grumpy about it!  There are stores where you will have you wait in line to get a number or a wrist band.  Contact your store before hand to see how they are handling Black Friday morning and the doorbuster deals.
  10. Be Kind – You’re bound to run into some crabby greedy shoppers.  Despite the fact that they’re that way, don’t stoop to their level.  Don’t let the excitement of the deal lead you to be a “greedy grabber”.  Don’t forget to be kind to the store employees as well.  Most of them didn’t choose to be there!  Don’t lose your dignity over a hot deal.
  11. Consider staying HOME!  You’ll find there are a lot of great deals online!  Many stores offer the same great deals on-line plus free shipping.  My personal favorite?  Amazon is having a week long “black friday event”

Money Saving Tips: Hunt Down the Sale Rack


Are you looking for some simple ideas to save money? We have simple solutions that you can easily apply to your lifestyle to save money!

 

When clothes shopping, hunt down the sale rack first.  Make sure the sale price is actually cheap. Don’t just buy something because it’s on sale. Most retailers have “a sale” going all the time, but that does not mean they are offering you a good price. Many stores mark clothing way up just so you think you are getting a good deal when they offer a sale.

Set your price points before you shop. Decide how much you are willing to pay for a shirt or pants or a dress. If it does not meet that requirement do not buy it!

Consider quality. Sometimes it is worth paying more for an item of clothing that is well made and will last a long time. On the other hand some cheap clothes that only last one wash may not be worth it.

Look for the bargains, but buy clothes that you will wear. Make sure you REALLY like it before purchasing.  Otherwise it will be a waste of money sit in your closet and collect dust.

Don’t forget our dry cleaning tip!

Don’t be afraid to buy used. Sometimes you can find great clothing at yard sales or thrift stores. I know many women who dress quite stylish in used clothing. Yard sales or a great place to get childrens clothes, especially baby clothes.

When shopping online look for free shipping and free returns. Amazon now has free shipping and returns  on clothing so you can shop from home and trying things on at home! Woot!

Money Saving Tips: Buy your clothes at the end of the season!


Are you looking for some simple ideas to save money? We have simple solutions that you can easily apply to your lifestyle to save money!

Buy your clothes at the end of the season!

A lot of deeply discounted items that I have found at the end of the season include beanies, scarves, and gloves.  Sometimes only the ugly stuff is left at the end of the season, but if you keep your eye out, you will be sure to find some cute apparel.

Last year around this time, I found these beauties at Target for around $2!  They’ve served me well throughout this whole winter.

With the other deals that are going on this week at Target, it may be worth it to stop in to see if you can find any clothing worth buying for next winter.
