Survive Black Friday

Black Friday is going to be here before you know it , a little planning always helps , How about a few ideas to survive Black Friday

• Plan ahead, no what your looking for and stick to your list
• Carry a cross-body purse or messenger bag with credit cards and cash in a pocket that zips or buttons to protect against pickpockets or loss.
• Leave children at home. Not only will they slow you down, If you must bring children, make sure they know their address and phone number and put that information in their pockets before shopping.
• Don't assume a big-name brand means quality. A bad product is a bad deal, no matter how cheap it is. Sometimes, an off-brand is actually a better value. ConsumerReports.org is one of the best places to research the quality of big-ticket items.
• A 10-day return policy is useless for gifts received a month later at Christmas. Ask whether sale items can be returned and how long returns can be made.
• Car pool with friend- double the shopping fun and manpower
• Remember - Its only money , not worth your life , have fun and shop
