7. Sign up for rewards and discounts before Black Friday
Many stores and shops have discounts or rewards for members of their elite clubs. All it takes to get involved is to download their app or sign up for a newsletter. However, if you wait until the day of, it may be too late. Once you have a plan in place, check each store to see what kinds of discounts you can find.
