Holiday Shopping Tips

   Well with Black Friday two short weeks away, I thought I would offer some go get ‘em, good luck tips. More & more is being said about the great deals on Cyber Monday, the Monday following Thanksgiving. Most of your favorite stores are starting these deals prior to Thanksgiving this year. Also, brick & mortar stores have, in the past years, have been opening later on Thanksgiving Day to get a jump on the competition. Whichever you choose, here are a few tips.
    Check out the awesome site bradsdeals with the link below. This site does all the legwork for you. It does find the best deal on whatever you may be shopping for. It links you to websites, offers up-to-date printable coupons from all your favorite stores, features an amazing deal of the day & more. I would start here & make a list…
    Next, I would check with family members on where they might be headed on Friday (or Thanksgiving) & maybe you can divide & conquer. You may be shopping for the same great deal & it saves so much time, sleep (ha-ha) & aggravation.
    If you are planning the brick & mortar shopathon (for some families it’s tradition!), make sure you bring your list, snacks, water & don’t overdress. Stores get real warm, real fast when standing in line.
    Don’t forget to shop local. On Saturday, November 24, is SHOP SMALL, small business Saturday. Many of the quaint local shops in your area will be offering discounts & specials. This is a great opportunity to find those unique gifts at a savings & supporting the local businesses in your community at the same time.
    I, personally, try all different ways to get through that list without losing any Christmas spirit. I traditionally do not get up early on Black Friday & shop. I will be checking bradsdeals on a regular basis & check out the site before I venture out on any shopping day. Good Luck to all & to all a good night!
