More Black Friday

    If you need to go to one of the mass market retailers, also known as big box stores, see if you can find one that is open 24 hours.  That way, you can wait inside, where it is toasty, instead of outside in the cold.  Download the store map ahead of time, or pick one up on arrival.  Make a quick tour of the store to make sure the items you are seeking are at those locations, and then station yourself at the spot of your top desired item.  If it is a television, or another super hot item, call the store the day before to see if it will be handing out numbers or some other method of determining order.  Confirm with an employee at the store when you arrive to make sure nothing has changed.  Then, commence Guerrilla shopping!
