Brace yourself, Black Friday is upon us. It is evident from past experience that it can get very chaotic as people attempt to buy as much as they can.
Here are a few simple tips that can save you time and a whole lot of drama.
Know what you want before heading out
If you don’t know what you want when you leave the house, then you might as well stay home.
Work out a shopping strategy
Know your budget, have your list with you and know where you will find the best bargains.
Think rationally
It’s a good idea to think about what alternative items you might substitute for items you’re seeking that have already sold out.
Take along anything you might need
This includes your cellphone so that your family members can get in touch with you while you’re hitting the shops.
Stay hydrated and get enough rest
While doing your shopping, it’s important to drink water and take planned breaks throughout the day.
Leave children at home
We all know that it can get intense during Black Friday and taking children along with you is not advisable. The long queues might be okay for an adult but children might get agitated.
Do not leave your basket unattended
If you want to keep your sanity, keep an eye on your basket.
Do not sleep in
Wake up early so that you can get everything done before dusk.
If crowds are not your thing, try shopping online this Black Friday instead – it’s an enjoyable and convenient to click your way to great bargains from the comfort of your desk or sofa.
