I love love love Black Friday. I also love love love preparing for Black Friday. If you are still preparing the night before, you are way behind the times. Sites like Black Friday Ads begin posting weeks ahead of time. You can also sign up for email updates. The email updates let you know about the before BF sales as well. Brad and I caught a *major* deal last week for the kids! Another feautre is the list creation option. As you scan the ads, simply click to save the items you are interested in. Items are sorted by store and when you print it out the night before you are given a handy dandy organized list. Additional points of interest- Toys R Us opens at 12:01 this year. Old Navy opens at 3am. Target is at 5am. Best Buy is 7am. No news yet on Wal-Mart. So....the possibility of shopping all night is looking pretty good. Old Navy will have jeans for $15 and kids jeans for $10. They are also offering Lego RockBand game FREE with any $20 purchase--while supplies last.
See how fun it is? Look at these people....don't they look like they are having fun? Clearly these are prepared shoppers. They are taking advantage of the day to the fullest possible potential.
See these people...rummaging through the paper while they wait in line. They don't look happy. They look unprepared. Sad day for them. They will likely miss out on some of the best deals.
Learn from their ignorance. (Bless their hearts.) Do your homework and have a fabulous Black Friday!

You're crazy! But at least you haven't mauled anyone or gotten mauled by anyone since you are a well-prepared consumer.
Maybe you could start a business...let people pay you to do all the prep and homework for them...seriously. They could give you their list, and you can map out the route, timeline, shopping list at each destination, etc. You could even be their DD. You'd be helping the world, one steal-of-a-deal at a time.
p.s. Chickfila drive-thru in Owasso opens at 3am. YOu might check on that in your area. You need shopping fuel.
