Have a Plan of Attack: Decide which stores should be hit up first especially when it comes to purchasing big ticket items, time is of the essence! Recruit your best shopping buddies (no lightweights!) and be prepared to start early and stay out late. Be prepared and have an app like Find My Friend in case anyone gets lost in the massive crowds. 

Make Technology Your Friend: Prior to heading out on your Black Friday mission, load up on apps that will make life a little easier. Evernote is a fantastic way to sync notes with other people which is ideal for sharing a shopping list and keeping everyone organized. Where is my car lets users track where their car is parked, helping to make navigating out of a parking garage hassle-free.

Find the Best Deals: With all of the stores opening up on Thanksgiving evening, it’s hard to scour all of the ads and find the best deals around. Black Friday Deals will keep you updated with the hottest deals of the shopping holiday. Save beyond the Black Friday sales and get the Best Coupon App to find high value coupons, discount codes and other deals for all of your Black Friday purchases.
