Black Friday is a shopping marathon, and you need to train hard to be in top form on the big day. Finding Black Friday ads early and planning your shopping strategy is crucial. In 2010, 212 million shoppers participated in Black Friday. That’s a lot of competition in the parking lots and in the stores! The busiest retailers on Black Friday include Amazon, Walmart, Target, Kohl’s, Kmart, JC Penney, Sears, Best Buy, Toys R Us, and Lowe’s.
If you want to get doorbusters or deals from the most popular retailers on Black Friday, you need to arrive incredibly early and be prepared to wait in line with a mob of other shoppers (unless you opt for shopping from home in your pajamas, of course)!
You may be sleepy from too much turkey on Thanksgiving. You may be tired after a long weekend interacting with out-of-town guest. But you have to bring your A-game on Black Friday or you risk being outsmarted in the aisles or missing out on the coveted doorbuster you waited in line all night for.
Keep reading to learn everything you need to know to get ready for a grueling great day of Black Friday shopping.

"stay at home in your pjs and shop online" :)
Make a list; check all ads beforehand too!
Dress warm, take coffee, line up early. I know that's three but they go together.

I recommend shopping online and getting what you can that way and if there's still things you want that you have to go walk the store for, make a list of those items and what store they are at. With lots of items and stores to shop, it can get hard to remember which store had the best deal.
I hit the major stores first, then the smaller ones last.
Online, online online....loads of deals . Right in your mail a few days later...Did I say online???.
Since we usually go to more than one store, I keep a list/plan of which store is opened first and what we want from there. If more than one store opens at the same time, I pick the item that I would like to get most and head to that store first.
Thanks so much.

If multiple people are going, each divide up and take a store and get what everyone needs at that one store. It saves from each person going to each store.
Do your research so you don't have to deal with the crowds for a deal you could get any day of the week!
Carpool to the shopping places to keep the traffic down...it gets crazy out there!!
