This year the recession has guaranteed that the black friday deals are going to be better than ever. All the major retails, like Bestbuy, Kmar, Walmart, and Staples. Some stores will even be open on Thanksgiving day, so you won't have to wait until your turkey coma has worn off. Follow these tips to get the best deals and save lots of cash.

First, use the internet. Do a search to see the offers ahead of time. This will give you all the information you need to map out your plan. Also, some sites will offer online sales as well, so you may be able to score the perfect gift without having to leave your home. Use the search engines to look for your favorite store deals. Just type the name of the store and "black friday deals" and will be able to zero in.

Next, decide which item is the must have for your shopping list. Then you can map out the route you will take. It is better to start with your first choice, so you have a better chance of getting it before it is out of stock. Then just map the rest of the deals you would like and which order you will visit the stores.

Make sure that you gas up the car the night before. Especially if you will be travelling a large distance between stores. Also, make sure to wear comfortable clothes and shoes because it could be a long day. Finally be sure to eat a healthy breakfast, so that you will have lots of energy.

The most important tip is to not get discourage if you don't get a particular deal. Remember you plan and move on. Sometimes you may feel overwhelmed by the crowds and hectic pace. Just take a break and grab a cup of coffee. Then after a quick break you will be ready to get back to your action plan. This will help insure that you have a successful day.

Now that you have all the information, get out there and save some money!
