Turkey Day Tip #18: Surviving BLACK FRIDAY!
Maybe you are a brave wife and you actually attempt to be one of the survivors of BLACK FRIDAY! If so, here are a few tips to help you have Shopping “WIFE” Survival!
1) Buy the paper on Thursday! It will be FULL of adds and all kinds of shopping wife goodies! Be sure to clip your needed coupons! This is also a great time to do comparisons! Be a smart wife and find the best buy before you make the purchase! Many stores will post their HUGE Black Friday savings on their website as well!
2) Prepare to be ready early! Some stores open at 4:00AM! Get your wife beauty sleep, volunteer family members to do the dishes and get a nap in!
3) Travel Light! Black Friday is not the best day to bust out your HUGE adorable trendy wife purse/bag. Keep it simple and small. Be organized so when you hit the check-out you are ready to roll!
4) Leave slow travelers and shoppers that like to “browse” at home. There is no time to mess around! Black Friday shoppers take their purpose seriously! If possible build a Black Friday Wife Force team to assure all parties get all their needs filled! Wife 1 & 2 goes to Target, Wife 3 & 4 to Wal-Mart, etc., etc.
5) Make a list of what you need! Just because you can buy 25 pairs of holiday socks for a deal doesn’t mean you need them. Don’t come home with wife shopping regrets and piles to return!
6) MAKE IT FUN for your team or even for yourself! Dress comfortably, pow-wow before you head out to the stores, fresh coffee or soda for all and ENJOY!
