Although Christmas is supposed to be a time to be giving and caring, there is one element about Christmas that seems to throw all of that out of the ǁiŶdoǁ….aŶd that’s BlaĐk Fƌiday.

BlaĐk Fƌiday, the sale day afteƌ ThaŶksgiǀiŶg that’s kŶoǁŶ to haǀe iŶĐƌediďly loǁ pƌiĐes oŶ usually high pƌiĐed iteŵs. It’s also the day that’s kŶoǁŶ to haǀe liŶes aŶd liŶes of people iŶ paƌkiŶg lots aƌound the corner and up the block, waiting for the magic moment when the stores open their doors.

Moƌe Ŷotoƌious thaŶ that, it’s the day that’s kŶoǁŶ foƌ haǀiŶg ŵoďs and mobs of anxious people running, jumping, and fighting over this

ŵeƌĐhaŶdise. It’s to the poiŶt ǁheƌe Ŷoǁadays theƌe aƌe people that die every year from stampedes of crowds running to be first to take advantage of the hottest deals. Care and concern for human life seems to be at an all time low during Black Friday, and every year seems to get worse and worse.

In this guide, we are going to give you 6 practical ways to survive Black Friday shopping, because believe it or not, you can realistically have an enjoyable Christmas shopping experience and actually enjoy the holiday season without a fight.

1. Wait Until Later On

I know that the stores try to entice you with the 95 inch HDTV for $20 (ok, maybe not that extreme), but I guarantee there will be tons of deals still left after the lynch mobs are gone. Christmas sales will go on all through December, remember that.

If you want to take a chance at 2 in the morning with the Black Friday mobs, take your chance, but just know that people dying on Black Fƌiday is Ŷot a ƌaƌity aŶyŵoƌe, it’s Ŷoǁ ĐoŵŵoŶ. It’s ďest to ǁait uŶtil later on in the day when all the hype has died down, and people have turned back into people again and not raving maniacs.

DoŶ’t fall foƌ the hype, hype kills these days. Sleep in that morning and go out later in the day, you might live longer.

2. Get Your Shopping Done Earlier

Heƌe’s aŶ iŶteƌestiŶg ƋuestioŶ foƌ you: Why ǁait?

Instead of being caught in long lines with frustrated shoppers, and parking lots filled to capaĐity, ǁhy doŶ’t you get youƌ shoppiŶg out of the way earlier than normal?

DoŶ’t tell ŵe ďeĐause you’ƌe ǁaitiŶg foƌ BlaĐk Fƌiday. The ǁhole poiŶt is to avoid Black Friday crowds altogether. I promise you that you can find good deals without having to wait for Black Friday. You have Amazon, eBay, and so many other outlets to find what you want and at a good price.

Imagine laying in bed the morning of Black Friday watching tv, laughing at everyone fighting and fussing over all this crap, while you have your gifts tucked away in a secret spot. Sweet right?

3. Don’t Fight Over Merchandise, Really.

UŶless you haǀe alƌeady paid foƌ soŵethiŶg...doŶ’t fight aŶyďody oǀeƌ this stuff, it’s just stuff. Really, doŶ’t fight oǀeƌ aŶy of this Đƌap, it’s just ŵeƌĐhaŶdise, aŶd it’s Ŷot ǁoƌth it.

This is supposed to be the holiday season, a time of good cheer, ƌeŵeŵďeƌ that? It’s ďest to aǀoid the BlaĐk Fƌiday Đƌoǁds altogetheƌ, ďut if you fiŶd youƌself iŶ theŵ, doŶ’t get iŶǀolǀed iŶ aŶy ƌidiĐulous confrontations, you never know where it could go. If somebody is acting like a jackass over a tv, laptop, tablet, or whatever, just let them haǀe it aŶd ǁalk aǁay. DoŶ’t YOU ďeĐoŵe aŶ idiot too.

I pƌoŵise you that if you doŶ’t get that tǀ ƌight at that ŵoŵeŶt, youƌ life WILL go on and you WILL be alright. The stress and the risk is just not worth it.

4. Leave Your Little Ones At Home

Now, if after reading this far, you are determined to still be a part of the Black Friday riots, word to the wise, please leave your little ones at home.

It doesŶ’t ŵake seŶse ǁhy aŶyoŶe ǁould ǁaŶt to ďƌiŶg theiƌ kids iŶto this madness, but you still see it every year. The formula is very simple, if you doŶ’t haǀe soŵeoŶe to ǁatĐh oǀeƌ youƌ kids ǁhile you shop, doŶ’t go. BlaĐk Fƌiday sales aƌe the ǁoƌst plaĐe to ďƌiŶg youƌ little oŶes. They could get lost easily among the madness because the crowds are alǁays astƌoŶoŵiĐal, aŶd I doŶ’t eǀeŶ ǁaŶt to iŵagiŶe aŶy Đhild ďeiŶg caught in one of those Black Friday stampedes.

If you ĐaŶ’t fiŶd a sitteƌ, you ƌeally should ĐoŶsideƌ ǁaitiŶg eitheƌ uŶtil later on in the day, or another day. You always hear reports of people being crushed or fighting, why would you risk your kids in that mess?

5. Do Your Shopping Online Hey...how about skipping Black Friday crowds altogether?

Theƌe’s this ǁoŶdeƌful iŶǀeŶtioŶ Đalled the iŶteƌŶet, aŶd ŵayďe you should take adǀaŶtage of it. IŶ today’s age, iŶteƌŶet shoppiŶg has gotten so much better and continues to improve. The sites that we all know have really stepped up their game, and online shopping is just as common as in person shopping.

You can find almost anything online these days at one of possibly ϭϬϬϬ’s of sites, iŶ ŵaŶy Đategoƌies. IŶstead of fightiŶg foƌ paƌkiŶg spaces, and waiting in long lines, why not sit in front of your computer in your pajamas, with your tv on, cup of hot cocoa, and credit card/debit card ready to go? That sounds so much more peaceful, which is what the holiday is supposed to be right?

6. Take As Little As Possible

If you have made plans to go shopping during one of those insane Black Friday sales, make it as easy on yourself as you possibly can. One thing you should do is keep the things you take with you to a minimum.

The less you haǀe, the less you haǀe to ǁoƌƌy aďout. Of Đouƌse, you’ƌe goiŶg to haǀe youƌ Đaƌ keys, aŶd of Đouƌse you’ƌe goiŶg to haǀe youƌ cell phone, and of course you are going to have cash, those are the ŶeĐessities. Outside of those, you shouldŶ’t take too ŵuĐh else.

Cash and credit cards you should carry in your front pocket. Wallets and purses are big targets around the holidays, so lessen your chance of theft. With Đƌoǁds that ďig, theƌe’s a huge ĐhaŶĐe you Đould lose something very important to you. Keep it very basic and then you can worry more about shopping.

Holiday shoppiŶg shouldŶ’t haǀe to ďe stƌessful. Theƌe ǁas a tiŵe iŶ histoƌy ǁheŶ it ǁasŶ’t. With the ǁay BlaĐk Fƌiday sales aƌe ƌuŶ today, it almost seems sometimes like the department stores are hoping for chaos. If you plan ahead and plan well, you can not only avoid the madness from Black Friday crowds, you may actually have an enjoyable holiday shopping experience, the way it should be.
