I have to admit, you say the word Black Friday and I start getting excited. Black Friday was introduced to me by my mother who always enjoyed the deals. I used to think she was crazy until I did it myself. Black Friday is a way for my family to enjoy things we might not otherwise afford. We read each ad carefully, make a list, then make a plan. We are careful to make a budget and stick to the plan. It's easy to get caught up in the shopping when there are such great deals out there, but it's important to stick to your budget. I have been known to put off replacing things and waiting till Black Friday to save money. The retailers are getting started early this year, so this is what I have found so far. Good luck!
