Shopping during that hour is like survival of the fittest. You must be fully rested upon your journey to the mall. If you're like me, then you're going to want to shop throughout the whole night, to seize the moment! After all the turkey feasting, shopping is probably your best bet to working yourself out. Traditionally, most families begin their Thanksgiving meals at around 7-9, but as long as it's before 12:00 midnight, it doesn't really matter. If you do in fact eat dinner a few hours before you plan to head out, you should try to fit in a nap after you eat. Sleeping right after eating may not be a great idea on regular days, but you're definitely going to need the energy when you're carrying your own weight in shopping bags. Also, I'd wear something that you can easily take off but will still keep you warm, because I'm sure you're going to want to change in as little time possible in the dressing rooms. Also, I suggest you quickly pick everything that you want to try in on in one fitting, because you'll regret only taking one or two into the dressing room after you come out and see something else you want to try on. As always, when you're paying for your purchases, always begin to take your wallet out while you're getting closer in line to the register. I, myself detest shoppers who stand in front of the cashier digging in their purses for their wallets, holding the line up.
Below is a picture of a crowd of eager shoppers waiting to enter the store, seeking their savings.
If you're not the type to stay up all night just to shop, I have great news for you. Cyber Monday is the Monday after the Thanksgiving holiday weekend. The only difference between Cyber Monday and Black Friday is that your savings are online for Cyber Monday, as you have to be in stores to recieve your deals on Black Friday. The majority of the greatest savings are on electronics, but that doesn't mean the discounts on apparel and other departments aren't worth checking out. This method of purchasing things you want or need is great, because you can get them for the prices you want, and you don't have to wait in line for anything or travel in the cold.
Your saving tips are quite different and it seems as though they're reasonable and would actually work. They're easy to do and can be followed, unlike the unrealistic tips that no one would actually follow. I look foward to trying out your tips and saving money.
