I do not shy from Black Friday. That said, I like to do Black Friday keeping my sanity and stretching out my dollars. While our focus is on family, food and getting together, Santa does makes his rounds and so, Black Friday is a fantastic opportunity help him with the nice people on his list. Black Friday can means fabulous deals. It can also mean chaos, crazy crowds, and long lines. To make the most of the day while keeping your cool we have 5 Black Friday Stress-Free Shopping Tips to keep your sanity as you make savvy purchases.
5 Black Friday Stress-Free Shopping Tips
- Make a list: A list that you will realistically stick to. On this list you can also start putting a dollar sign next to each name or item so you are already mindful of what you will be spending on a person or gift
- Do your research: are the prices you have in mind in line with those that will be offered? Who will give you additional perks? Are there interesting door busters you can’t miss out on? double check your list and update your findings.
- Trust those you know: meaning, buy at places you know. If you know them, you are probably with their return and price match policies
- Don’t be afraid to look around: make room in your budget for anything you might find at the store with an amazing price that you really need or want.
- One-stop shops are the way to go: why spend gas hoping from place to place finding items on your list? Save your gas money and keep your sanity, shop for it all in one place.
My Best Black Friday Shopping Secret
On Black Friday I am all smiles, happy and content. That is because when I implemented the Five Black Friday Stress-Free Shopping Tips to keep my cool, sanity and budget goals, I discovered that BJs Wholesale is the answer.

It also makes it easy for me do to my research and get my list ready because the store announces early on (November 2 this year) its in-club and online deals and door-busters.

I needed these tips! Making a list and researching ahead will save so much time and effort.
I’ve been looking for a good mattress set. I’ll have to check out the Therapedic Comfort Cloud Luxury Queen Mattress Set with Gel Memory Foam. Thank you, you just made my job a lot easier.
In the past five years, I have stopped shopping on Black Friday in store. It is too crazy and out of control. I prefer to shop online and catch deals throughout the year.
I’m going to try and handle Black Friday right here in my pajamas, I’ve never been up to the crowds the day after Thanksgiving.
I’m the opposite – I stay out of the stores and off the roads on Black Friday. These are great tips for those who brave it, though!
I have never shopped on Black Friday, ever but I swear I want to experience it some day! I love that you are sharing tips because I hear that night/day can be a nightmare!
Thanks for the advice! Lots of good tips! It’s been several years since I did the whole Black Friday shopping event, but I may need to get out there any try it again to get some of those great deals!
I have never shopped on black Friday before and I always miss out on great deals. Maybe I will go this year. Great tips.
I’ll be traveling, won’t be able to visit the stores. I probably will order online, much easier
It looks like they have some good deals going on this year. I will probably give it a run.
Some great tips here. I know you have mentioned Black Friday Sales but I always feel like I am losing my head whenever I go shopping especially around this time of year.
Thank you, I have shopping planed on this day and could really use these tips. I plan to hit 5 stores and hope everything goes well.
Thanks for the tips! I’m not sure what we’re going to do this year but I’ll definitely have everything planned out beforehand.
Great tips! Especially the make a list. I know I get in those stores and get overwhelmed like crazy.
I was browsing for black Friday deal getting prepared when I came a cross your list. My mind is made BJs Wholesale and no where else !
It is not the first time you recommend BJs and I am happy you are so loyal to them. They do care about their customers. I love them too
Your tips should be the key to mys Black Friday success. I am ready to visit BJs before Black Friday and get it all done before the black day comes around. Thanks
