3. Get there early, before the store opens

4. Bring a friend with you to wait in line for you while you find the items you need

5. Bring a nice, happy, patient attitude (people will be pushing and rude)

6. Know what you expect to pay for it and make sure it is actually a deal

7. Bring snacks/water/flask you could be waiting for a while

8. Wear comfy clothes and running shoes

9. Check your balances to your credit/debit card

10. Stick to your budget!

11. Download a Black Friday app

12. Keep in mind some stores will do price-matching, so check their policies

13. Get a gift receipt

14. Do your research and use comparing price websites

15. Keep it fun and fuel your energy with coffee or an energy drink!
