We recommend ordering store locations based on things like how much money you will save, how important the product is to you, sale times, and store opening hours.
4. Organize Your Purse
It pays to be organized on Black Friday.
- Compile all necessary catalogs, ad and coupons in a small binder that’s easy to take in and out of your purse (since you’ll be doing this a lot).
- Have a separate section in your binder to place you receipts in.
- Make sure your debit card, credit card and cash is all organized.
- And don’t forget to pack some snacks and a drink so you won’t have to waste time or money buying these on the day.
