Black Friday Shopping Newbie

I have never been "Black Friday" shopping.  I think I am a little scared.  This is for the professional shopper.  Go in with a plan.  Time out the sales at each store.  Bring friends to divide and conquer.  It is a lot of work to get the best deals around.  Luckily, Dan the Man has helped map out local specials.

A group of my friends are heading out Thursday evening to start the holiday shopping tradition.  I am thinking about going along for the experience.  I would be an apprentice as I am a newbie at this ritual.  Do I have what it takes?  Probably not.  I don't really plan, I kind of wing things, and I really don't like waiting in line.  But, with the promise of stopping for dessert after sounds inviting.

I have a few days to figure it out.  I do know that I am shopping local.  Not only is it important for our local economy but we really do have quite a variety the tri county area.    Happy shopping!
