This is a sponsored post on behalf of BJ’s Wholesale.  All opinions shared and expressed here are my own.

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.five-black-friday-stress-free-shopping-tips-cool-moms-cool-tips

 

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.  Not only does BJ’s Wholesale meet all the requirements: it is my trusted one-stop shop that always has great deals and now offers even better prices to members for 11 days leading to Black Friday (not just one day).  Plus has such a great product offering, that I can look around and find things I need that will fit my budget, always.  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.

A Final Black Friday Tip to Enjoy the Zen

Since we shop in total calm and with peace of mind at BJ’s Wholesale, we will be mentally prepared to be the spectator of the camp-outs and madness that goes on elsewhere.  The final tip to top off the day is: once you are done with your BJ’s Wholesale shopping, wear your most comfortable outfit, sit at a distance, and smile encouragingly to all those who are frantically shopping around town like chickens without heads! Take it all in, enjoy the “ahhhhhh” moment and congratulate yourself.  Namaste shopping friends!

    Great tips. My first black Friday shopping experience was not good and I have not done it since then. Maybe with your tips I will be able to give it a try again. I will let you know how it goes.

    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.
