Are you heading out for Black Friday this year? Here are some hints that will help you make your Black Friday shopping trip a little more fun and successful:

• Have a Plan & a List- Black Friday ads are already starting to leak, so check them out as they become available and keep a list of the store, the hours they are open and the items with prices you want! This way you can map out a plan to hit what stores at what times for what items! This will keep you on track with time and budget as well as keeping you sane during this crazy shopping day!
• Arrive On Time With a Buddy: Lines start forming at most stores several hours before they are scheduled to open, especially if there are a lot of hot deals! Make sure you arrive early enough to get a great place in line and bring a  buddy to not only keep you company but to also grab items you need! Last year I took a friend that was not planning on shopping at all for Black Friday but wanted to come hang out with me while I shopped! So I gave her items to grab so that we could get through the stores quicker as well as making sure I didn’t miss out on items I wanted!!
• Shop Online: Even though I still tend to buy more items on Black Friday, I have to touch it before I buy kinda girl, I am quickly learning that there are many deals to be found online. RetailMeNot has some great coupon codes and special savings that keeps me saving online just as much as dealing with the craziness of Black Friday!
