I won’t be doing any shop­ping this Black Fri­day. I won’t be doing any shop­ping this week period.

If I were how­ever I would have a strategy.

A  strate­gi­cal shop­per could really come away with some deals on Black Fri­day if they were smart.

If I were doing any shop­ping this Fri­day here’s what my plan would look like.

1. I’d make a list of all the gifts I need to pur­chase as well as those “dream” items.
2. Next I’d browse online for sales and make another list of the stores that carry the items on my list and how much they they’ll be on sale for.
3. Then I’d check my local flyers.
4. I’d also make a quick scan of my email in box for mes­sages from my favorite stores like Tar­get.
5. Then I’d fig­ure out what stores have the best prices and fig­ure out what time they open.
6. Thanks givivng night I’d be in bed early so that I could be up and in my favorite stores bright and early. Some stores are open­ing at 3:30 am ( which I think it pos­i­tively ridiculous.)

Twit­ter Moms posed the ques­tion “What is your Black Fri­day plan of action?” for a con­test to win a $75 Tar­get gift card. Since I really do love Tar­get I couldn’t pass up this opportunity!
