Tips:

-A great online tip is to check out Amazon.com. The price wars between Walmart, Target, and Amazon are always strong and Amazon is matching and beating many deals while providing free shipping so check online before you shop.
-Make your list before you go shopping.
-Leave as early as possible and try to get done by noon.
-Make an attack plan for the day with achievable goals.
-Plan that the roads will be busier.
-Wear shoes that are comfortable and will last a long day in busy lines.
-Bring some snacks with you in case you find yourself in a large line.
-Don’t forget your coupons at home!
-A cheap ticket price can often mean a cheap quality product. Spend some time researching products you may want to buy.

If you can’t find something that you want or miss out on a deal do not stress there is still Cyber Monday, and a month until Christmas.

Last but not least have fun!
