Are you planning out your Black Friday shopping yet? If not, you should be. With most if not all stores pre-publishing their Black Friday deals this year, and not trying to hide them until Thanksgiving, finding out what is available has never been easier. Of course, with so much information available, you can suffer from information overload and decide to stay out of the game this year. Sites like Find & Save are here to help you plan your shopping day (and night).
We've been some of the crazy people coming out at midnight each year. We plan out our trip differently each year based upon what is available and what our needs are. Lately, we've mostly taken advantage of Black Friday deals to increase what we donate to places like Toys for Tots and Cradles to Crayons. $5 board games are always a favorite to pickup, allowing us to at least double the amount we can buy for the same dollar amount. And sub-$15 winter coats are a favorite to pickup. Our biggest problem year in and year out is finding out what time stores open. In Massachusetts, it is illegal to open on Thanksgiving, so those midnight openings are impossible for big box stores since employees can't show up until midnight.
