I found this great blog with this great article on Black Friday Deals, so I thought I would share it.

It’s time to get your shopping lists ready for one of the biggest shopping days of the year. To help you out, I have some terrific websites and suggestions to getting the best deals this Friday.
Tip #1: Know Before You Go
First you must go to bfads.net for an early look at the sale papers to your favorite retail store. The website has the secret scoop on all the hot items that are going on sale this Friday. I already have my eye on a new DVD player at Target for $47 and some jammies for the kids at Walmart for only $3—granted they will not be the best quality—but they will do fine for one season.
Tip #2: Get Your Coupon Codes
There are several websites that offer coupons codes to save you money. But first you need to know the difference between two types of coupon codes. Certain sites offer printable coupons, where you print out the coupon and then take them with you to the physical store. Another type of coupon is a cyber or online coupon, where you are offered a coupon code to be used only online.
BradsDeals.com offers printable coupons that you can take with you on your shopping trip. Also, Printable-Coupons aka Mommy Saves Big, has a nice array of printable coupons.
If braving the stores is not your thing, but online shopping is, KeepCash.com is a good site to consult for coupons for online purchases. You also will want to check out freeshipping.org for free shipping offers to nearly 2,000 stores. But be very careful to only go to freeshipping. ORG, the .com site looks like you have to pay for the services, while FreeShipping.org is free.
Tip #3: Don’t Forget Your Sale Paper
Stores like Walmart are in a bidding war this year with other retailers, so be sure to bring your sale paper and ask if they will meet or beat the sale price listed in another store’s sale paper. Every little penny helps…
Tip #4: Make an Itinerary
Many of the stores open at staggering times allowing consumers to attend several “Door Buster” sales. After you have reviewed the sale papers, give yourself an itinerary with regard to where you want to go and in what order. I have found that giving myself a time-frame for each store allows me to get through quickly and on to the next sale.
You may also want to think about how long it will take to get to the next store. If your city doesn’t boast a bevy of retail opportunities, consider going to a neighboring town that will put you in closer range to hit several stores in a short period of time.
Tip #5: This is Not a Fashion Show…
Black Friday is not the day to be strutting around in stilettos. A seasoned Black Friday shopper knows that a comfortable pair of running shoes, several layers of relaxed-fitting clothes (including a warm winter coat and gloves) are a must to keep you warm outdoors in the long lines.
Also, there’s no need to primp too much. A quick rinse-off before you go, a ponytail-holder and a swipe of mascara will suffice.
Good Luck this Friday and have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
