I love Thanksgiving, and I have never been much of a Black Friday shopper.  However, as my children are getting older and asking for more expensive “toys”, I find myself paying more and more attention to the Black Friday ads and flyers that have already been circulating the web.  Now, with sales starting at 8 pm on Thanksgiving at many retailers, there will likely be less of this. . .

 

 

But maybe also less of this. . .

If you plan to participate in Black Friday sales, the key is to plan ahead as much as possible.  Here are some ideas to help you tackle Black Friday today.

• Black Friday Planner & Tracker from ListPlanIt.com – Download ListPlanIt‘s brand new (and FREE for a limited time) Black Friday Planner & Tracker and, as you search Black Friday deals, know what you need, where you can find it, and how much it will cost.

• Websites to find Black Friday deals
  • BlackFriday.com
  • Fat Wallet
  • Black Friday Ads
  • Black Friday by Brad’s Deals
• Black Friday Apps
  • Red Laser – an app made by ebay, you can scan the barcode and compare prices from other retailers
