Holiday Season is here!

Get ready!! It's almost time for the busiest time of the year. BLACK FRIDAY is the following Friday after Thanksgiving. It is the most hectic shopping day in the United States. Some businesses have special hours and will open at midnight on Thanksgiving. Black Friday has really good deals to the point where people are standing and waiting outside in line for hours in the cold..especially in Iowa.

I have participated in Black Friday a couple of times and I'm at that point where I don't want to deal with all the crazy shoppers. Plus, with winter starting early this year, I am definitely not going to be waiting outside with negative degree weather.

To make things easier for all you Black Friday shoppers, I have a some suggestions for you to keep in mind:

1) Make a list of the stores you want to go to
2) Make a list of what you want to buy
3) Wear comfortable clothes
4) Locate Black Friday deals either online or in the paper
5) Bring a shopping buddy
6) Bring snacks

Happy shopping and good luck!
