Black Friday Buxr Giveaway - Win Kindle Fire!

I have found that some stores will match online prices if you have proof of the online price with you in the store.

Order your list in order of priorities b/c you cant get every deal!

Wow! What a giveaway! What I couldn't do with one of those....

nice! i took the poll above. check out wish lists from family members too.

Thanks Buxr.

Also take some time to realize what the estimated monetary value of your time is. If you can save $200 off a TV but it requires you to waste 4 hours, find out if your 4 hours are worth more or less than $200. (This is just an example with made up numbers but the idea holds)

With an option, I prefer Cyber Monday to Black Friday. Nothing like shopping from home!

I usually rely on wireddeals to show me what's "hot", and then check if I can get the deal online without making an extra trip to a store.

The best plan is planning ahead for both BF and CM. If you are not prepared, you may not be too happy with yourself. This in turn could lead to anger at other shoppers. So be careful!

If you are not lucky enough to get doorboosters , don't feel bad most of the deals will be on the way as name under "cyber monday" or " christmas sale " , just you need to check buxr daily

Couple of my tips:

1 - I try to go shopping in the order the stores open AND that are grouped closer together. That way I maximize everything!

2 - Call stores that don't mention black friday ads (like Zara which opens at 8am and is offering almost 50% off entire store)

3 - Try on clothes ahead of time, know my size...trying on clothes during Black Friday will easily add 2 hours per stop...finding the clothes, trying on the clothes, waiting in line to check out...

I can't wait!

To recover from shopping - stock up on BEER

I prefer to shop online for my deals. I can't handle all the people out on Black Friday. And I heard the deals are usually last years model and not the best.

Most of the time, I only use black Friday as a time to purchase high ticket items.

I'm loving shopping early on-line instead of waiting for Black Friday. I want to be able to enjoy time with my family instead of chasing the store deals, especially since BF is starting on Thanksgiving this year??!!

I also like to keep an ongoing wish list at Amazon. Not only can you add outside retailer links to your Amazon wish list now, but they have a Wishlist Sweepstakes going, too! Win, win, WIN!

Shopping online is so much more fun, unless you actually LIKE fighting the crowds and parking and weather!

Thanks for sharing the tips. It's interesting to see how everyone voted!

The issue with online shopping is that some sites go down with the massive amounts of traffic hitting them. So you spend more time trying to get through and miss out on deals. Happened to me two years in a row.

Remember to bring all your ads with you! Walmart will match and you can get alot of your stuff from one store vs 2 or 3 different ones. Depending on selection and availablity.

I vastly prefer shopping online since the crowds get more and more rude every year. Great poll with lots of great tips. Awesome giveaway too.

I take my 2 oldest grandchildren, we plan ahead who will rush for what, who will get in line. They love it and we all look forward to the major "hunt" on BF. Would love to win the Kindle Fire, I already download bks to my PC.

Sometimes it is worth it to pay a few dollars more online in order to avoid the crowds and not incur extra expense of gas and time.

It may be worth it to spend a few extra dollars online in order to avoid the crowds.

I always bring the ads, coupons, I try to mark my path with what I want the most and then cont to the last thing. I cant wait, already gethering all my stuff getting ready..Good Luck and HAPPY THANKSGIVING to all..

Take a few of those collapsible eco-tote bags to haul your treasures if you are shopping in the malls. The handles on plastic bags stretch and make carrying them difficult especially for bulky items. Suggestion for women to wear a crossbody bag so you can organize your cash & credit cards.

Prefer to go online and avoid traffic and crowds.

group purchases and organize by store

Be careful of impulse buying and save receipts for any buyers remorse after the shopping is done.

Don't ever miss all the applicable coupons. When you are in rush you might miss this which saves a bit more than the other fellow buyer. Google more for additional savings like bank cards , rewards..

If there is something that I have to have, I will be in line on Black Friday. Most of the deals that I am finding are already at Walmart. Plus they ad match any ad, so One Stop Shop is the best way to go for me! I'll gather my ads and head to Walmart. Then wait for Cyber Monday for all of the other deals that I missed.

Best tip: please do check the reviews of the item that you are buying

Prefer to shop online by checking BUXR! Many great deals are post here in BUXR. Some of the company are starts on sale at midnight this year.. and please make sure check the reviews before purchase!

Find out where everything is in the store ahead of time. Typically the door busters are the ones they move to a new spot in the store but occasionally the only partially move other items. I got lucky a few times with this. While people grabbed everything off displays I casually walked to the aisle and got the same items and a better spot in the checkout line.

BUXR is my holiday shopping best friend! Never leave home without checking it!

Wow! What a giveaway! What I couldn't do with one of those

I've been receiving special deals e-mails for over a week. It's important to sign-up with your favorite retailers.

I try to get a group of family & friends together every year so we can grab different deals at different stores to maximize the time we have to shop.

Research all the deals on the internet and then price match

this is the first year in 6 years i've had off on black friday...i'm sleeping in. Maybe stroll into a store around 8 or 9 and see what is left.

I think it's not cyber Monday anymore... More like cyber long weekend

If you opt to shop on line, don't forget to go through portals such as Ebates for extra savings and/or cash back!

Shopping online for sure beats all the crowds in store.

online>in store just saying

Safer at home doing online shopping instead of getting pummeled while standing in line with a store that probably only has six of the deal everyone wants.

Busy working mom so online shopping is my only option.

online shopping

traffic/parking, super-limited quantities and understaffing are big drawbacks to Balck Friday shopping

I try to shop online whenever possible, But, Some years, I just want to experience the thrill of Black Friday!

Never leave your shopping cart unattended

If you "miss" the deal you thought you were looking for, don't fret. Chances are, it will go back on sale AFTER black friday! There's always CyberMonday.

Shopping online and throughout the year lets me get great gifts for great prices and I can avoid the mad rush that starts before Thanksgiving these days!

We have a clutter-free policy. You can't purchase anything which might take up space (such as magazines, books, etc.) without prior permission from recipient. We're also allowed to issue a list of "banned substances" for anything we definitely do not want. (For example, I have enough hair products to last the remainder of my life.) Practical gifts seem most appreciated (maybe because we're all adults). Ground rules for any electronic or tech purchases--must include assembly or installation (by either purchaser or professional) plus individual instruction about how to operate the gadget so it doesn't sit in a closet, unused.

I make a policy of never buying full price if I can. Be aware of when stores have their annual sales. Things automatically will go on sale to make room for the new season. I watch certain items that I like to see if they go down in price. Buy at the end of the season and buy classic. That way you are never out of style and you save money!

I try to make a list of what I am getting for who, or a general idea of what I want to get with them. Then I check out deals on line, find applicable coupons if there are some (thanks to Buxr!) and head out after eating healthy meals to stores that I think will be not as crowded!

Thanks, the research has made me plan even better when ever i go on a long day shopping

Go through the news paper and carry the newspaper ad to locate the item that i am interested in buying.

My fav tip is to shop online and compare deals through forums & always use coupons!

Thank you for this opportunity.

This would be awesome to win. My daughter wants one of these,it would make her christmas if i could win it for her. Thanks you all for the opportunity to win it.

My best advice is online! I did all my shopping online and got awesome deals and saved tons of money never going into the crowds!

Thank you for the giveaway!

read online blogs. I got most of deals posted on blogs this year.

Decide on your needs first, verify if the quality beats the price and shop as a group in store to avoid long checkout delay.
Both in Online and store make sure that the item on sale is going NOT to be outdated soon/worst rated item.

Don't over shop for toys this black friday or cyber monday. All the toys would be priced much lower than current prices as the christmas day nears.

I make a list of what I want to get. Then I check out deals on line, recommendations and look for coupons (thanks to Buxr!) Going out to get my deals is the fun part!

I have found it's good to take your phone with you and have a network of other people so you can stay totally up to date about the best deals.

comparing shop online and check blogs for updates

This year the budget is VERY tight. If I buy something and see it at a lower price I go back the the original store and give them a chance to price match. Most stores will do that now.

We went shopping in the morning this year on Black Friday after the stores have been open for hours! Not only did we spend more time shopping than standing in line. We were also still able to get the doorbusters that they advertised. Who knew showing up at 7 am would actually be better than standing in line at midnight on Thanksgiving?

Received the Kindle Fire in the mail. Thank you again Buxr for this truly generous prize.

Trying to post a few pictures. (Sorry not the best quality, harder than I thought) This lightweight tablet is very convenient to carry in a purse and so far I have been using it to browse the web, take notes, and read books. If you do not yet subscribe to Amazon prime, the Kindle Fire comes with a free month trial. Much more to discover.
