Attack for
Black Friday Shopping
If you're heading out to the United States for some cross-border shopping,
Black Friday (November 26) is one of the busiest shopping days of the year.
Every year thousands of shoppers flock to area malls and shopping centers in
the wee hours of the morning attempting to get the best deals on their holiday
gifts. Because shopping with the crowds and sales can be confusing, setting
a "Black Friday" shopping strategy can add some organization to the chaos.
• Make a shopping list. Think ahead of time about what to look for. Know-
ing what will be bought can help shoppers determine which stores to visit.
It helps to only choose one or more stores at which to shop.
• Preview ads. Many stores will start advertising their Black Friday hours and
some sneak peaks at sales a week or more in advance. There could also
be some "spoiler" Web sites that leak information about Black Friday sales.
Shoppers can know what's available and plan their shopping accordingly.
Also, some stores have "rules" to follow, such as wristband dispersal or a
numbering system, for shoppers to avoid crowds rushing the doors.
• Eat a hearty breakfast. Shoppers should be sure to eat breakfast so they'll
have enough energy to survive the morning shopping.
• Pack a lunch or snack. Chances are fast food restaurants and food courts
will be mobbed on Black Friday.
• Wear comfortable clothing. Crowded stores tend to be hot and chaotic, so
dress in layers you can remove. Wear very comfortable shoes for long
hours of walking.
• Be sure to know stores' return policies. It pays to know what stores will take
back discounted items bought during Black Friday.
