As a veteran shopper, I’ve navigated the chaotic waves of Black Friday with both triumphs and defeats. It’s not for the timid or the leisurely; only those prepared for battle can seize the spoils. Before you venture out this holiday season, grab your coffee and memorize these golden rules.
- Stay Sober on Thanksgiving Eve. If you plan to be alert and ready to tackle the crowds at 4 AM, don’t overindulge during your Thanksgiving feast. Save the drinks for a celebratory toast after your successful shopping spree.
- Embrace Your Natural Aroma. Don’t waste valuable time in the shower; besides, the more people steer clear of you, the less competition you’ll face at the clearance racks.
- Pack the Essentials. Your tote should be filled with caffeine, credit cards, and an arsenal of coupons.
- Hold It In! Avoid bathroom breaks at all costs! While you’re waiting in line, someone else might snatch up that last cashmere sweater in your size. Remember, your kids usually don’t let you take a moment for yourself—this is no different.
- Play Rough. In the quest for the perfect gift, kindness won’t get you far. If you want to avoid hearing complaints on Christmas morning, it’s time to sharpen those elbows.
- Dig Deep. If you can’t find what you’re looking for, don’t hesitate to search those hidden corners. If necessary, channel your inner warrior and claim that last item!
- Stay Alert. That pile of clothes in the fitting room may look inviting after hours of shopping, but don’t give in to the urge to nap. Keep your focus on the task at hand.
- Prepare for Endurance. Slip into your comfiest shoes and be ready to carry your treasures out—those toys won’t haul themselves.
If the thought of Black Friday feels more like a nightmare than a shopping opportunity, consider curling up on your couch with your laptop. You can save those funds for Cyber Monday instead, where deals can be scored while sipping on some spiked eggnog.
