The Chronic Consumer

So do you have a game plan for Black Friday yet? I’ve got a basic idea of which stores I want to hit at which times, so hopefully that will make the day a bit less stressful. I am definitely not looking forward to dealing with all the crowds, but I just can’t pass up the chance to score some amazing discounts!

Anyway, my husband wants to check out some Xbox 360 games at one of the smaller stores at the mall, and I need to find an ipod battery since my Mini has been acting a bit wonky. After that, we’re going to go to the toy store to buy a few stocking stuffers for our son and my younger cousins. And finally, we’re just going to check out a few department stores because everyone in the family needs winter clothes (sweaters, long-sleeved shirts, etc.).

We’ll probably grab lunch while we’re out, then hit the video store before coming home to spend the rest of the day vegging out in front of the TV. Hopefully we can make it back home by 2:30 or so.

Anyway, if you’re going to brave the crowds and weather tomorrow, I recommend that you come up with a plan of attack first. This will save you time in the long run, and will lessen the chance of forgetting something while you’re out there!
