Historically, shoppers have camped out in front of stores before the sun even comes up in expectation of the enormous savings they can get when inside their favorite shop. It is not uncommon for people to bring seats and even something to make tea on to wait for those doors to open so that they can charge inside to finally start their Christmas shopping.
However, just because it is the day after Thanksgiving shopping episode does not essentially mean you are going to find the best reductions on that day. Malls will be doing promotions like mad in the run up to these proceedings, so it pays to do some serious research before heading out for your shopping trip.
To help in your research you must start to collect sales circulars well before and assemble a plan to figure out faithfully where you will go shopping and in which order. Don't forget to make a note of what you are going to buy and who it is for. Try to stick to the plan!
Create a list of not only what you are purchasing but how much money it will all cost. Make sure to add 10% on the end of the amount to cover sales tax and extras. Shopping can be fun but it isn't so much fun when it causes financial problems later.
Another wonderful choice that a lot of shoppers are starting to take is online shopping. You can find just about everything online these days. From bedroom chairs to video game consoles, you can take some time finding the right discounts without becoming mixed up in the barmy rush of the mall shopping experience. Plus, many online retailers offer large savings and usually free shipping.
No matter which path you wish to take, planning is necessary. The day after Thanksgiving shopping jaunt should save you a ton of cash, but if you fail to plan you will probably end up losing money rather than saving it.
