This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at UIC chapter.

Thanksgiving break is almost here and you know exactly what that means! Black Friday AND Cyber Monday deals! I mean, who doesn’t love to shop, especially with a sale? Below is list I created to help you outsmart those who are shopping on Black Friday so that you can get better deals!

1. Black Friday doesn’t start on Friday anymore, it starts on Thursday! 

2. Make sure to get plenty of rest before you go out. 

3. The “better” door busters start around 2 a.m. and 3 a.m.

4. Make a list of items you plan on buying so that you don’t get side tracked with the other deals and splurge.  

5. Wear comfortable clothing and shoes.

6. Dress according to the weather. You don’t want to freeze out there.

7. Remember to have fun and don’t get upset if something you really wanted is gone, because that’s what Cyber Monday is for, and you may get a better deal!

Erin is a Communication student at the University of Illinois at Chicago and the President and Editor-in-Chief of UIC's Her Campus chapter. On a daily basis, she can be found making excessive film references and getting overly emotional about superhero TV shows. She has a deep passion for writing, movies, music, good books, and great food, and will gladly talk your ear off about all of the above if prompted to do so.
