With the Christmas holiday fast approaching one of the biggest shopping weekends is the one right after Thanksgiving. Year, after year, the media covers stories of people camping outside in line, fights breaking out in the stores, and stampedes into the stores when the doors open just to make sure shoppers get the deal they were looking for.  Here are a few helpful tips and hints if you are going to brave the lines and the traffic on this holiday sale weekend.

Let Black Friday Sites and Apps Help you Plan a Strategy 

Search for holiday bargains you’re hunting for on the internet and mobile apps. Doing a Google search for 'Black Friday Sales" it will bring up a ton of info.

“The best Black Friday deals can be found on the apps specific to Black Friday,” such as TGIBlackFriday.com and RetailMeNot.com to name a few.

These apps aggregate all the Black Friday deals for you by category, retailer and by ‘newest.’

Map It Out
After finding the items you are looking for, plan a route which will let you get to each store with out going out of the way. There are shoppers will will wait overnight or even days to get the deal they are looking for, so your goal is to make a plan of attack so you can get your items and to the stores you need to in as less time possible.

Dress For The Cold
If you are waiting in line and you live where the temps are cold, make sure to dress warm enough that you can handle it. Shoppers decide to brave the cold and stand in line for hours only to have to leave or wait in the car because they did not dress appropriately. 


Lastly, Shop Online! Never dismiss the fact that Black Friday Deals are only great in stores. Though CyberMonday is a great day to shop online, there are also many deals that you can find online starting even the same week of Thanksgiving. You can do a search for Cybermonday deals but also remember to check out the items you are looking for online because sometimes they have the same deals or in some cases even better deals and you do not have to wait in any lines, or get up at the brink of dawn.
