Black Friday Deals: a plan of attack!

Ahhhh, are you ready?!?! Black Friday is just under 2 weeks away and all the sales and deals are starting to pop up, so exciting! Do you head out for the Black Friday deals to fight the crowds and shop in stores or do you stay home and shop online? I have a new plan this year…
