Savvy Saving Black Friday Strategies

We’re just a week away from what I like to call the Black Friday Bonanza! It’s not here yet, but as usual the hype starts early. There are people who are already frantically searching for circulars and comparing early bird prices online, while getting themselves in a tizzy over which stores to hit first.

Now, I understand not everyone is into Black Friday. It can be a hassle trying to maneuver through malls when it seems everyone is out and about. But, some of the deals you can get are probably some of the best you’ll find. Notice I said some!

So without further ado, I’d like to share my savvy saving Black Friday strategies. Why? Because, I am here to help you.

1) Shop for Deals First – You can find deals online and in newspapers long before Black Friday gets here. Do some price comparisons to see who is offering the best deals. And by all means, please know what you want before you start looking for stuff you don’t necessarily need.
2) Mark Your Territory – Figure out which stores you need to hit and at what times. A lot of stores will give you what I call a window of opportunity. That simply means you’ll only be able to buy certain items at certain prices during certain times, like from 6AM-10AM.
3) Map Out a Route – If you know where you’re going, then it’s really easy to figure out the best way to get there. First of all, Black Friday traffic (for lack of a better word) sucks! Have a map or an outline of the best ways to maneuver from mall to mall or store to store. If you don’t know the shortcuts, then start looking for them.

Now, all of these things probably sound great. But, if your pockets are empty, it sounds like you’re putting the cart before the horse. If your next paycheck isn’t coming in before Black Friday, then go online and get a payday loan. Did you know you could qualify for up to $1500? Did you know there were new customer discounts and cash rewards for referrals? So, think about that for a minute. They are going to pay you just for doing business with them? It really doesn’t get any better than that.

So, whether you’re shopping for cash, gifts, or those little things you want for yourself, keep all of these Black Friday strategies in mind and most importantly…be savvy and save!
