5 Tips to Conquering Black Friday

in Gift Guide, Style on 21/11/17

Black Friday can be a little overwhelming to the point sometimes you wonder if it is even worth it. I can’t tell you how many years at the end of the day I look back at all my email receipts that I got in and thought – soooo what did I even get and why do I still have a list of gifts I need to buy for friends and family??

Plus – there are a few Black Friday sales that have already started and I listed them down at the bottom of the post!

5 Tips to Conquering Black Friday

 

  1. Make a list of who you need to shop for. Seems easy enough but you would be surprised how many times I forgot someone. Including your friends that are throwing the Ugly Sweater Christmas Party this year. Yep – hostess gifts too! What does my shopping list look like this year?
    1. Braydon, Walker and Charli
    2. Ryan
    3. Teddy and Ella (dogs)
    4. Uncle Tate, Lance, and aunt Kelly
    5. Their significant others
    6. Nana and Pappa
    7. Gigi
    8. Nieces and Nephews
    9. Secret Santa
    10. Girlfriends
    11. Hostess for parties
    12. We have a wedding on New Years Eve so this is a great time to go ahead and get those gifts you would be buying soon anyways!
  2. Set an overall budget you would like to spend as well as a budget per person. That way you can manage your expenses while shopping so you are sure to stay at or below budget!!
  3. Black Friday shopping may be a thrill for some – but for me it is a little overwhelming and extremely exhausting. That is why I prefer to shop at home on my couch in my pjs with a cup of coffee while the kids watch Christmas movies. I can hit 5 stores online in the same amount of time I hit one store in person AND I can compare sales and prices so much easier!
  4. So not only are some of the sales ALREADY live – but even more go live on Thanksgiving day!! Very few do not go live until Friday anymore! Check back here on Thursday for sales that have already started and scroll down to see some that are live right NOW!!
  5. To help stay on budget make a list of what each person needs or wants. For example:
    1. Braydon: Wants: Legos, movies, the new Mario game system that I have no clue what its called and I am leaving that up to Ryan (<<goodluck babe!!) Needs: Jeans and a jacket
    2. Walker: Wants: Duplos, anything batman or spider man! Needs: Shoes and button up shirts
    3. Charli: Wants: nothing, yet – thankfully! Needs: PJs, socks and sweaters.
