Always buy things on sale. Buying things full price is just wasting money.

Don't get drawn in by advertising gimmicks. Only buy what you were already planning to buy today!

I think multiple observations by various people have proven that Black Friday is just bs. You can find stuff for the same price throughout the year and oftentimes they are just trying to get rid of old stuff by making it look like a good deal to you. Best strategy to save money is to buy stuff you really need and not be driven to purchase something just because it's on sale.

My mom is a CPA and refuses to shop today--she says the crowds aren't worth it. There are online sales, especially cyber Monday, and holiday sales throughout the season.

If you are PwC just order a desktop monitor from IT. Every associate can get a 24inch and a portable. Don't buy one.

Not worth it. Some sales are good but are limited and taken by those crazy people that camp out. The rest are advertising gimmicks. Online all the way..
