Can you believe that Black Friday is this week. On Frugal Tip Monday-Black Friday Websites 2009 I gave some online sites that were dedicated to posted the ads and deals for Upcoming Black Friday.

Here a couple of tips that I thought would be useful and make your shopping experience less stressful and hassle-free.

1. Make a List-Knowing exactly what you are looking for. This can eliminate overspending and buying certain items that you do not need. Remain focused on what you are there to purchase, Black Friday are very limited so make sure you prioritize.

2. Strategize Store Locations-Everyone is having great deals but you cannot be in several places all at once. Choose which deals you feel are the most important because some offers are so unbelievable it is worth a shot.

3. Be Early-This is the key factor in getting the deals. "The early bird catches the first worm" and in this case they are so right. There are some dedicated shoppers out there that can start to arrive at certain locations 2 or more hours in advance. So grab a cup of coffee and a bagel and get ready to camp out for the long haul.

4. Carry a Shopping Partners- I am a firm believer in having a shopping partner. Not only for safety but also to be another set of arms to snag certain deals. Four arms are better than Two. While someone is running the other person can be in tow the shopping cart.

5. Be SAFE- This is the most important tip. Losing your life is not worth any amount of money. Please act like an adult.

SO ARE THERE ANY TIPS THAT YOU ARE TAKING?

AND ARE YOU SHOPPING ON BLACK FRIDAY?

I saw this ad tonight and thought you ladies may be interested in knowing about the Target deal early. I also cut this article down because it was REALLY long.

Retailer's 'doorbuster discounts' reportedly include a 32-inch LCD HDTV for $246 and a $10 free gift card when you spend $100 or more.

Target is hoping to lure this year's Black Friday shoppers with $3 toasters and coffeemakers, deep deals on high-definition televisions, and discounts of 50% on clothes and toys, according to a Web site that says it has received a leaked copy of the retailer's circular.

Brad Olson, founder of Gottadeal.com, a Web site that markets itself as one of many "official" Black Friday deal sites, said Wednesday that he received a copy of the discount retailer's ad.

Olson said Target's Black Friday "doorbuster" deals, or the extra juicy sales given for a limited time to early shoppers, look very attractive.

These include a Westinghouse 32-inch LCD HDTV for $246. "The $246 HDTV is the lowest price that we've ever seen for that model," said Olsen.

Also in the ad: $3 Chefmate appliances such as toasters, coffeemakers and sandwich makers; a 40-inch Apex 1080p LCD HDTV for $449 with a $10 gift card; a TomTom GPS for $97; a Garmin GPS for $179; an RCA dual-screen portable DVD player for $88; a $39 Polaroid V 130 Camcorder; 50% off on select toys; and children's clothing for between $5 to $7.

The ad said the merchant is also offering a free gift card worth $10 if you spend $100 or more at its stores from 5 a.m. to noon on Black Friday.

According to Target's circular, some of the sales are valid only on Black Friday while others are good through Saturday.

Target spokeswoman Sarah Boehle said the company "is unable to confirm the accuracy of any [Black Friday] two-day ads or pricing information that is posted online."

"Each year we chronicle lots of excitement about our ads when we hear that they were prematurely leaked,' said Boehle. "We really appreciate all the interest. We encourage consumers to look for our official [Black Friday] ad."

Target is expected to release its weekly circular the week of Nov. 22.
