Black Friday Survival Guide
After hearing the good, the bad and the extremely ugly, many consumers still find the hunts on Black Friday a fun and adventurous family tradition. Although this Blog post is not relevant to the housing market, Ruhl&Ruhl will not be discounting houses on November 23! We do fully believe in helping our community and clientele in any way possible. So, digging online we found that there are several variations of "Survival Guides" and "Best Practices" for those who dare take on the mobs, the lines and "Mortal Kombat" this day is truly going to entail. Here are a few tips and tricks that may come in handy:
- Dress appropriately. You don't want to be standing in line freezing! Layers are good so you can strip them off once inside the heated store.
- Do not under any circumstances get a shopping cart. Once inside the store, you'll observe people pushing and trying to maneuver their way down the aisles. If you have a cart, it will make it all the more difficult. A cart-free person can move faster and between people.
- Shop with a partner. This not only allows us to split up and get items more easily while one person can start the wait in line while the other runs and finds all the goods.
- Know what you're looking for before you get there. If you can head straight for the item you want, you'll have a better chance of getting it before it's sold out. If it's a store you're not familiar with or in a different city, you can even visit it before Black Friday to get the layout.
- Make friends. Who only knows how long you'll be standing in those lines waiting to purchase your bounty. What better time than to make a few friends? You never know when you might need someone to hold your place in line while you jet off to use the facilities.
Obvious yes, but let's not forget that this is Black Friday we are talking about. The excitement and the adrenaline can easily take over. So study the above long and hard. And good luck and best wishes for the amazing deals that you will find! Have a very happy Thanksgiving and keep checking RuhlHomes.com for the most up to date information on the housing market.
