In case you are hiding under a rock, Black Friday is coming up!  We asked in 2009, What is your Black Friday plan of attack? In that post, I offered up one of my favorite Black Friday tips.

My favorite tip … take some food with you. You will get hungry and you will over spend on coffee from Starbucks or bottle water and candy at the Best Buy line. Shove some candy in your pocket and a bottle of water in your bag and then head out on Black Friday.

The most obvious tip is to plan your trip out! Use the Black Friday ads … I go for both the online early released ones and the day of ones because I love the real ads! You might also check out this Black Friday Preparedness Guide!
