1. Prioritize. There is no way to get all the deals that you want so make a list of your favorites, and scout out who has the best deals beforehand. Focus on the most expensive and largest items.
2. Let your smartphone find the best deals. Yes, there is an app for that. According to NerdWallet, the best free apps for Black Friday include ShopSavvy, Price Cruncher, and Santa’s Bag
3. Double-check that your credit card is ready. You don’t want to hear that your credit card has been declined after waiting for hours to get that deal. If needed, set up a budget for yourself so you don’t over extend your credit.
4. Read the return policies. That bargain may be defective or just not what you expected, so be sure to read the retailer’s return policy before you buy.
5. Bring a buddy. Everything is better with a friend, so enlist the support of a couple of like-minded super shoppers to help navigate the lines. Many times, you can divide and conquer, each choosing a different department to grab all the items you need in half the time.
