1) Have an overall detailed plan
This is the biggest key to success. Make a list of items wanted at each store. Then make a route plan of each store you will go to. Prioritize and stick to your plan, if they don't have the item you came for, move on. This is not the day to come up with an alternative gift. You can sometimes go a few days before and see where the items are to get the plan together.
2) Take a partner
A partner is great for scouting and retrieving priority items. You can split the store in half and cover the area in much less time. Take your cell phones and look out for each other.
3) Don't overspend
Keep your wits, don't get caught up in all of the hype. That is exactly what retailers are hoping you do. They will get you used to spending and hope you open your wallet to them. Stay focused! If you need financial tips, checkout my other site....largefamilyfinances.blogspot.com
4) Save the unfamilar for last
This is not the day to window shop. If you are going to a new store, save that one for last, or go with someone that already knows the ropes. Save these stores for last. Treat it as a learning experience for next year.
5) Shop Online
Do it the easy way. Stay at home and skip the crowds and the stress, but stick to your plan. Many retailers are giving codes for extra savings online. Check out the Kohl's ad below:
