Black Friday: 3 Tips To Maximize Your Shopping Experience

CHARLOTTE, NC– It’s the most wonderful time of the year! There’s lights outside, trees are up, and the sound of Christmas music can be heard far and wide. WCCB’s Brianna Dahlquist is kicking things off the right way at the South Park Mall where shoppers are lined up to score big deals. She has three tips to help you shop peacefully and get the best bang for your buck!

Tip 1: It’s the most important one… Come Early! A lot of store opened at 6 a.m. so there is still plenty of time to catch those sales.

Tip 2: Stick to your budget. Make your list and check it twice. Don’t get caught in the trap of trying to get everyone something! If there is someone naughty on your list, decide if you want to actually get them something. Always remember, you can’t fully enjoy giving gifts to your loved ones if you’re feeling guilty about spending too much money. Set an amount that you’re comfortable with and stick to it.

Tip 3: Be kind and practice patience. Get into the habit of being aware that sometimes Black Friday shopping can be hectic. Get your coffee, grab a snack and remember what the holidays are all about; spending time with your friends and family and love.

Happy Shopping!
