The cell phone is probably the key tool to carry with you (besides your wallet) on Black Friday. Between emails, texting, and phone calls, my girlfriend and I can update each other and compare prices between stores. We work as a team and we are fluid. Depending on product availability and waiting times, we are able to help each other avoid the black holes that suck shoppers in never to be seen again. We change direction on the fly when necessary because the good deals always go fast. So is it worth it? Yes. There are deals to be found on Black Friday. All too often those DoorBuster deals can make or break a Christmas/MamaJD. More here.

Question: MamaJD, of course, is discussing her strategery for getting the best jump on Black Friday shopping. What is your strategery for buying Christmas gifts?
