My Black Friday and Cyber Monday ONLINE Shopping Tips

I'm making a list and checking it twice you guys! I'm prepping for Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales. Are you guys doing the same? This is some serious stuff! It's almost like homework! It's important to have a plan! TRUST ME, the stores do!

I plan on shopping online (as I usually do). One store is advertising an item I want, but I don't think I'm going out just for that. If I do go out, I'll instagram my adventures.

I'm also in the kitchen right now burning things up...I mean cooking. I'm having traditional turkey & trimmings. I need to taste test something and share it with you guys. It's Thanksgiving themed. Hopefully, I won't be too full to type a review. If I don't post it tomorrow, I'll post it Friday. Yep, Friday sounds good! HaHaHa

Like my hair, bow, mrs. santa outfit and fishnets? HaHaHa Check out the booties! HaHaHa Several years ago, I was into FaceInTheHole and made this picture. Click HERE. I've always been a fun girl.

Below are my tips for shopping the upcoming sales online (some sales have already started). Feel free to share your tips!

What You Should Do BEFORE Black Friday and Cyber Monday!

1. Know What You Want, What You Really Really Want AND PIN IT!!!

You know those secret boards they give you on Pinterest? Use one of the boards to pin ALL the items you want to buy (clothing, books, electronics, beauty products). Yaaay! Everything is one place! Now write down the name of the stores (Loft, Target, Barnes & Noble, Best Buy, Sephora). This will let you know the stores you need to concentrate on. Group and prioritize the items that are most important to you.

2. Become Social Media Buddies With The Store 

Now that you know what stores you need to shop at, sign up for their email updates, like them on Facebook and follow them on Twitter. Stores send you an email (if you're on their list) letting you know what their Black Friday/Cyber Monday sales are. Sometimes email subscribers even get perks! Facebook and Twitter are even a quicker way of getting the information. :)

3. Join Ebates and MyPoints

What You Should Do ON Black Friday and Cyber Monday!

1. Wake Up Early
You must! You must! Shower. Get dressed. Make that cup of coffee. Eat something. Power on the computer! There are a lot more online shoppers than there were years ago. That means things are limited and run out quickly! If you want something in a particular SIZE and COLOR, then you have to be ready. Trust me, others ARE. Selections are best early on. As the day progresses, everything becomes limited. Get what you want FIRST. You can always go back and get the extra things you see.

2. Get The Code...Coupon Code
Write down all the codes the stores give you on ONE sheet of paper. 

3. Happy Shopping!
You've done your homework. You're prepared. Hopefully you get everything on your list and everything your little heart desires. Hope these helped. Now GO AND GOBBLE UP THOSE SALES!!!
