Tips for Shopping on Black Friday
If you are headed out to brave the crowds in hunt of a good deal this Black Friday, here are some tips for a successful trip:
- Be prepared for long lines and cold weather. Dress accordingly!
- Bring friends or family members to help you grab deals! Go for the big deals yourself and have them grab smaller deals around the store.
- Know your stores policies (coupons, layaways, returns, etc.)
- If you don’t see a deal, ask an employee or keep searching through the store!
- If you have a smartphone, use an app to scan barcodes and compare in-store deals with online prices!
- Avoid impulse buys: Not everything advertised is a great deal.
- Keep your receipts… just in case you change your mind!
Find the Best Deals
To find all the best deals this Black Friday, you can use our new Deal Search feature. Type in any item you want a deal on and this will show you all the best prices for things like TVs, Laptops, Cameras, and more. You’ll have to make sure you enter a date for the search feature to work properly. I just used yesterday’s date 11/11/2012.
Here are some of the best deals that I’ve seen so far. You can find more using the Black Friday Search, with keywords like HDTV, Laptop, Blu-Ray, and Camera:

A great Christmas gift for you to give your loved ones is a great piece of art. Last year, Carmen Guedez did a giveaway with us, and she’s back at it again with some beautiful art. Artwork can really brighten up a space and it’s a great conversation starter, too! We got one of her paintings last year to review, and loved it. They are all side wrapped canvas paintings on wooden frames and make for great conversations. Each painting is 100% original and hand signed, so you get to officially say you are an art collector.
Carmen is an artist from North Carolina who is a full time painter. If you’re looking for a solid piece of art, this is where to go! Her work has been sold around the world and featured in many big galleries. Currently she is offering 75% off original paintings (excluding sale items, cards, and prints) when you sign up for her newsletter. You also get FREE shipping on any order.
Some of her paintings are very large (4 ft x 2 ft), so free shipping is huge!
The Giveaway:
Carmen is giving one Southern Savers reader her “Home is Where the Heart Is” painting which is 48″x24″.
Features:
100% Hand-Made Original Abstract Painting (not a print).
UV Protective varnish.
1 3/8″ painted edges (no staples on the sides).
Original signature on front and back of the artwork.
Certificate of authenticity – hand signed, embossed with the original CGUEDEZ logo and with a Fine Arts Registered Number included.
To Enter:
You have two chances to enter, so feel free to do both:
1. Leave a comment below telling me which of Carmen’s paintings you want, and who would be receiving it for Christmas.
2. Like Carmen Guedez and Southern Savers on Facebook and leave a comment below telling me you have.
The winner of this giveaway will be chosen Monday, 11/19.
This giveaway was sponsored by Carmen, but all opinions are 100% my own.
Here are all the deals for Walmart this week! There are a lot of Thanksgiving staples on rollback this week for us to stock up on along with some other great deals!
