Black Friday is here and hopefully you are either reading this on your hand held device while you are waiting online or eating breakfast getting ready to leave. We thought it would be a good idea to give you some last minute hints and tips to make it a memorable, safe and why not happy day.

Hint # 1 - Plan on shopping in an area where stores are close together. That way you can park just once and save gas and parking fees.

Hint # 2 - Car pool! Go with your neighbor, a family member, best friend or the perfect date. If he or she can handle you during Black Friday than he or she is a keeper!

Hint #3 - Take a Snack. Take a few minutes before leaving and make yourself a leftover turkey sandwich, or pack cookies and pop corn to munch on while going from store to store.

Hint #4 - Select a Hiding Place before hand. It could be changed for what ever you need. I mean a place to hide the Christmas gifts you are going to start getting today, but it could be a hiding place for you after you max out the credit cards and your spouse finds out. You should be prepared either way.

Hint #5 - Don't worry about getting printer ink. You don't have to worry about it today because you can purchase online when you get home, or tomorrow or Sunday and you even have Monday to take advantage of Inkjet Superstore 15% off on remanufactured and compatible cartridges to print gift tags, Christmas cards, present list, holiday decorations, personalized photo presents, calendars for next year, recipes, end of the year budgets, next year budgets, uff the list can go on and on.
