On Black Friday there is a miriad of advertising and tempting deals to lure you in every direction. The second key to a successful Black Friday shopping experience is knowing what stores you want to hit. In the old days, before the internet, everyone had to wait until all the ads were released which was usually just a few days before. You can still use these ads but with the internet now available it gives you much more time to prepare your hit sheet. Different sites will have different ads available so your best bet is to look for the stores that are in your area on the different sites and then collect data accordingly. The two sites I like the most are
blackfriday.info and black-friday.net. Both of these sites have pretty good coverage of the major stores and they include the opiton of creating a shopping list by registering with their site. None of the other sites I have gone through have this option. Just in case you are interested the other sites are: blackfriday.dealspl.us, dealtaker.com, gottadeal.com, blackfridayads.com, theblackfriday.com, and bfads.net. All of these are great sites to start forming you list. Tomorrow I will go over my final step of Black Friday preparation — Strategy.If you enjoyed this post, make sure you subscribe to my RSS feed!
