Share Your Black Friday Shopping Plan

Black Friday begins at 8 a.m. on Thanksgiving in the Livingston area and Patch wants to know your plan.

Will you head to Toys R Us or Walmart at 8 p.m. Thursday before or after the Thanksgiving dishes are done? Target opens an hour later and will have more than 24 hours of continuous shopping. How will you take advantage of the deals at both places?

How will you be planning to navigate from Toys R Us or Walmart to Macy’s at midnight and not be too far behind the line for the best of the bargains?

Does your plan include a partnership? Will you trade lists with a friend and then become a placeholder while someone shops for you? Will you have a thermos of coffee or hot chocolate? Will you have your Thanksgiving dessert while waiting in line to shop?

Are you going to shop locally in downtown Livingston? What are some local deals in town? Or are you waiting for Small Business Saturday?

These are some of Patch’s thoughts. Please put together your plan and share it with your fellow readers in the comments. Feel free to leave the specific stores or locations out of your comment to protect your place in line.
