If you want to make the most of the fantastic deals this Black Friday, you need to start getting ready now.

Visit all the sites you love well before Black Friday to create a wish list of all the items you would like to buy. When you log in on the day you can quickly go to your wish list, check which items have a special discount price and then proceed to the checkout without wasting time browsing.

Devise a plan of action among your friends and family about how you are going to tackle the chaos of the day. It’s always best to start with the cyber deals, as online sites are calmer and fairly simple to negotiate compared with physical stores.

It’s very easy to get carried away when you see something you like but don’t really need at the time. Set a strict budget for yourself and try very hard to stick to it. Avoid the knickknacks near the registers or by the door.
