I never bother going out to shop on Black Friday because really, who needs the stress of that hassle? My skin looks pale in 4 a.m. moonlight! However…shopping online on Black Friday? …Yea, I could do that. Savings.com has compiled a list of online tips to save on this upcoming Black Friday. Three of their Black Friday tips I found to be pretty handy!

1.They suggest checking the Internet at midnight on Thanksgiving to see if deals are already live. And don’t waste time and procrastinate just because the deals are online – often Black Friday online deals will expire later that day!
2. Don’t be fooled by what looks like a good deal because something is X percent off. “A larger percentage off at one store can actually be more than a lower percentage off at another. Have a calculator handy to see just how much you’re saving – and be certain to factor in shipping costs.”
3. The best deals you’ll get should have one of those low-price guarantees. Sometimes prices go down after Black Friday, and if you have that guarantee you can get a refund!
