After families are finished sitting round the table, giving thanks for their blessings, many people will get ready to head out to the stores to start their Black Friday shopping.
The Better Business Bureau of Wisconsin has issued some tips to help make your shopping trip a success.
They advise that you do some research before heading out, so you can take full advantage of the sales. While researching, always be sure to read the fine print, so you don’t go in expecting a certain price, but end up with a different one.
Also, be sure to plan your approach. In many cases, you no longer have to wait to see what deals will be offered on Black Friday. Retailers now release their Black Friday flyers weeks ahead of time, so consumers can plan out their shopping spree. Make a map of the stores you plan to visit and what items are at which store.
Some retailers only honor sale ads during a certain time frame, or on certain days, and could limit the amount of deeply discounted items you purchase.
And as always, be sure to be safe and courteous to other shoppers.
