Black Friday
Shopping
ENTERTAINMENT
Have you ever been Black Friday Shopping before? If you have, you know how cra-
zy it is. If you have not been, then I am here to teach you how to survive the crazi-
ness of Black Friday Shopping. I am going to tell you how to prep beforehand, what
to do while you are waiting in lines, and what to do when you get there.
First of all, I am going to give you some tips on how to prep for Black Friday Shop-
ping. It is going to be cold since this event is in November, so you want to make
sure you dress warmly. So this means sweatpants, jeans, or leggings. Along with a
long sleeved shirt, or if you want a short sleeved shirt, I would suggest wearing a
sweatshirt or coat. You may want to bring a lot of money so you can get what you
want and go. People are crazy, so you want to make sure you can take a hit. You
want to be fast so you can beat people to the line, or to something that you want.
You want to make sure that you don’t feel bad if you take something that someone
else wants. Now, for most of the time you will be outside waiting in lines, so you
may want to bring a tent. This brings me to my next tip.
Waiting in lines. No one likes waiting in lines, so here are some things that you
can do while you wait. In the very beginning of this adventure, you are waiting in
line for the doors to open. You can bring a card game for you to play by yourself
like solitaire, or you can play with the people around you. Or you can play on your
phone. You could even bring a coloring book. There are activity books with lots
of games to play, or even just a regular book to read to keep you from following
asleep. Then there is the waiting in line to buy something. You don’t really want to
be doing anything in those lines so you can keep your spot. You can play on your
phone if you want, but just make sure you are paying attention.
My next tip is what to do when you get there. You want to rush through the doors
and get what you want before anyone can take it. You want to get either a shop-
ping cart or a really big bag to put all of your things in. When you get to the line,
you want to be in the front and make sure no one cuts in front of you. You want to
be fast and know what you are going to get so you can get it and go.
So, I have given you tips on how to prep, what to do while you are waiting in line
and what to do when you get there. I hope I have helped you for this next Black
Friday year. If you don’t go, that is probably safe too, but if you do go, don’t get
hurt and use my helpful tips.
