Getting ready For Black Friday

Every year I am one of the crazed shoppers who ventures out early on Black Friday to hunt down the bargains. Each store has their “really good” deals and then a myriad of useless stuff priced so low that people feel compelled to buy them. Last year, I put together a plan of attack. It was moderately successful.

This year I have been checking a website dedicated to broadcasting the latest information on the Black Friday deals. They have produced the actual ads that will appear in the papers in the form of a PDF file.

Why do I put myself through 45 minute lines, traffic that doesn’t move, and crazed shoppers ready to do what it takes to get to the front of the line? It is like going hunting, I guess. I do not hunt for deer, small game, etc. So, I go hunting for the ultimate bargain of the year.

Figuing out the system and strategically focusing on the best deals is the name of the game. There are many deceptive coupon deals, especially in electronics. The Black Friday shopper must be on guard.

Read the fine print.

Perhaps this desire to go out in the cold and sometimes rainface thousands of rabid shoppers is the product of my childhood. I don’t think so, but it really doesn’t matter. I look forward to this day with great anticipation and I am not ashamed to admit it.

For those of you, who share my passion, check this site out:

I will be sharing the deals I find throughout the weekend and next week.

Have a great Friday before Black Friday!
