  1. I've been on a different Black Friday site. I haven't heard of this one, I'll go check it out.

    My best Black Friday trip was a few years ago when I went by myself. My sister had just had a baby 2 days before and my Mom was helping her. I was scared to go alone, but I did!

    I went to 8 different stores in just a few hours and found everything on my list that I wanted for the day. The scary part was standing in line at WM and all of the crazy ladies with shopping carts behind me. I felt for sure that when the doors opened, they would run me over!

  2. My friend and I each had a list, when doors opened, we split up to gather our list items. When we left, we had everything on our list, digital camera, printer, monitor, computer, tv, and dvd player/recorder; and the best part is we only had to spend $10 after rebates and store specials.

  22. My favorite tip is to compare prices and adds before going shopping with the sales flyers. But also check on the internet and see if there are any discount codes available if you order online. Often you end up with better prices online with combining the sales price and discount code.

  101. I go through all the ads ahead of time and decide where I want to go first. I get there early depending on store. Get to know where there items you want are. You have a better chance of getting what you want. I always go with a family member that way if the items I want are in different areas I can send them there. LOL. Thanks for the giveaway.
