HUNTSVILLE, Alabama - Not everything on your Christmas inventory can be bought with a coupon but with the right strategy you can consume off your list and save lots of money on Bad Friday.
I love Black Friday but I go unaccompanied to get in and out quick. My friend Wendy Black of Wee Feet Boutique has been shopping Black Friday with a arrange of about four for five years now. She and I came up with our 2011 Black Friday Shopping and Survival Tips.
1. Fill up a list . The list should include every child, coach, relative, mailman, newspaper delivery yourself, Sunday School teachers and anybody else you can over recall of. Please remember donations for Toys for Tots and Kids to Leaning.
2. Research . Other than the dressing and cranberry sauce my favorite element about Thanksgiving Day is getting The Huntsville Times (OK, maybe I like my Daddy's pecan pie a itsy-bitsy more). I love to flip through the newspaper page by attendant and pull out all the sale ads. Research, like couponing, is your representation before you go into the store and the most important part of a successful Black Friday shopping trek.
