You’re here because you want to learn how to save money on Black Friday, right? Great! These five tips will be sure to save you some time and money this coming shopping day. You’ll be so happy with the amount of cash you saved that you won’t even care about the masses of people, long waiting lines and that rude woman who stole the last pair of jeans out of your hands.

Here are some tips on how to save money on Black Friday: 

Scour ads beforehand

Before you go out on Black Friday make sure that you have checked out all of the advertisements so you know where you want to go and who has the items that you want. The advertisements will also let you know what time each location opens and if there are any extra incentives for being there at a certain time i.e. door busters, first 100 people get a prize, etc.

Have a plan in place

While the thrill of just getting up and going shopping and not having a plan is intriguing, if you’re looking to save the most money this Black Friday you will want to do just the opposite. Having a plan in place will help you not only save money but also save your time. Create an itinerary and map of which stores you want to go to and at what times you’d like to be at each store. 

Maybe you know that some stores are more crowded than others. Plan around this. Think strategically!

Follow stores on social media

By following stores who are having Black Friday sales on social media networks like Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, you can be keen to certain sales that others aren’t. They often post certain flash sales and online codes for their fans to use. It pays to follow stores and brands on social media!

Know what to shop for

There are certain items that may not be worth shopping for on Black Friday because you simply won’t be saving that much money.

Here are some items that are worth shopping for on Black Friday, according to Bankrate: 

• Tablets
• TVs
• DVD’s/Video games

Home appliances

• Pots and pans
• Mixers
• Cooking gear

Toys

• Large children’s toy items

Shop online

Many Black Friday deals are available online. Unless you like the hustle and bustle of Black Friday shopping, spare yourself the stressful shopping trip and stay in the comfort of your own home. I don’t know about you, but sitting on the couch, sipping on some hot cocoa and pressing a button to confirm my order sounds a whole lot better than fighting people over the last item, waking up at the crack of dawn and standing in lines for Black Friday sales.

And don’t forget about Cyber Monday, where most websites have huge sales. That’s another chance to save money if you miss out on Black Friday shopping.

We hope these ways to save money helped! Have fun shopping!
