Start Planning Now for Black Friday 2011 !!!

With Black Friday 2011 less than a month away, keen shoppers should begin to coordinate and strategize their plan of attack early...So stay calm, cool and collected, I've got a few tips for you to use so that you will know how to make the best of your 48-72 shopping spree...

For the best deals, you have got to get there early...You and I both know that the retailers are advertising killer deals for things that will be in limited supply...So, take it easy on Thanksgiving Day...Then take an afternoon/evening nap so that you'll be ready to roll out at about 8 or 9 pm Thursday night...And I highly recommend you shop in teams of 2-3 or more, in case the lines get extremely deep you can tag-team your shopping so that checkout will be much faster...

Mothers, Fathers and Guardians of kids of all ages, please make a note that Toys R us will be opening at 10pm, Thanksgiving night...Early research leads me to believe that Target will be opening at midnight, on Friday the 25th of November...So plan accordingly...Macy's is coming in on the radar at the early late spot of a 4am opening, Friday...Walmart is next in line with a 5am opening on Friday...

Now that you know what time you need to be there, what are the deals to be had this year...It's a bit early yet to know for sure...But your favorite toy store has a Great Big Toys R Us Book packed with 80 pages of games, bargains, freebies and you guessed it toys... Since sale prices are good starting today October 30 through November 23, 2011, this toy book is more of a preview to the main event... Apparently the hours have been set, but the details of deals to come are not available online right now... For now teaser sales abound for the early birds that would rather avoid the crazy madness of the impending chaos...

Consequently Amazon is not slacking in letting everyone know that if you don't want to wait until the last minute you can check out Amazon.com's Gold Box Daily Deals...It's like Black Friday everyday of the year...

Bottom line, since Halloween 2011 is basically over, it's time to put away your costume and focus, plan and execute your Black Friday strategy starting today...
