Day 2: Black Friday/General Shopping Tips & Tricks
I’ve been in the US a couple times for Black Friday and here are my 2 tips:
Wear body protection!!
Two years ago, John and I ventured out to hit the early bird sales well before 6am. I nearly got taken out by a lady with a shopping cart at Wal-Mart!! Some people get really aggressive about racing to get their hands on the deals.
Grab and HOLD!
If you find an item that you want – grab it and don’t let it out of your hands! People WILL steal things from your cart!!
My nice brother-in-love, his wife, and their friend took John and I out Thanksgiving night two years ago to a local Outlet Mall. I was amazed at the 2 hour lineup outside the Coach store that night!!
Good luck ;)
What are your shopping tips & tricks?
Cheers,

My shopping trick is to be done really early before the crowds start. Plus, since I”m not much of a shopper, I’ll decide what I’m getting everyone before hand, then just grab it quick and get in and get out! I can’t even imagine being involved in Black Friday. It scares me quite frankly! ha ha
Thanks for the advice Robyn! I’m heading down for my first Black Friday this week and hoping it’s not too crazy down in Kalispell!
Ha ha – Jody, I can’t imagine you being timid in a shopping mall!! Tricia – have a BLAST!!
