Get the most out of your Black Friday shopping with these top tips:

Don't forget your coupons.

Most retail stores allow you to use manufacturer's and store coupons on top of event discounts during Black Friday, which can help you save even more money on your total purchase. Websites like MyCoupons offers the most popular and verified downloadable and printable coupons you can use this Black Friday, so make sure to prepare your coupon stash ahead of time.

Find a babysitter.

No matter how well-behaved your children may be, Black Friday crowds can transform any child into a screaming mess. From long, tedious lines to sensory overload, bringing baby along on your Black Friday shopping trip is a mistake you won't make twice. Shop the smart and effective way by scheduling a babysitter ahead of time. Although your little ones might really want to come along, they'll just feel miserable in the store.

Make a gameplan.

Showing up at a Black Friday sale on a whim might seem like a good idea, but you'll get the best deals and discounts by planning your trip in advance. To get the most for your money, research which stores have the best deals for the items on your list, what time each store opens its doors and where to find the top doorbusters before they're all gone.

BYOB (Bring Your Own Bags)

Want to know the biggest secret to a successful Black Friday trip? Skip the cart! If weaving through Black Friday crowds with a giant shopping cart seems impossible, it really is. Kick that cart to the curb and reduce stress and irritation this year by using your own shopping bags instead.
