okay I know I know I know we haven't
gotten to Thanksgiving yet but the Black
Friday forecast is once again expected
to be super busy this year and while the
experienced Black Friday and Cyber
Monday shoppers may have a game plan you
can't go wrong with a few more tips for
the busiest shopping weekend of the year
so better to give us a shopping guide
than the savings angel we'd like to
welcome back Josh Ellie
hey listen I am going to forecast as
this is no big greenery I mean this is
this is going to be the biggest shopping
event in the history of the world
it's really gonna be so great consumer
confidence is all-time high retailers
are so primed for this they're already
starting their start they're starting
earlier than ever they've got more sales
and more deals than ever before there's
gonna be a lot of money spent this this
week and in the weeks to come how
exciting yeah you just love to get out
in crowds and lies I make bad decisions
so how can you okay if you are gonna go
out there and that craziness what what
are some of the things to keep in mind
yeah so the biggest thing and I always
talk about this is it how critical it is
that you make your shopping decisions at
home beforehand the one thing you
absolutely do not want to do is make
emotional decisions when you're out at
Old Navy and you're like oh my gosh
those sweaters are disappearing I have
to have one there's only two left I have
to like don't do that
like you want to make sure you make all
of your shopping decisions ahead of time
at home in front of the computer in a
rational state of mind and not when
you're in an emotional state you have to
understand their blood sugar is dropping
yes yes exactly so yeah when you go to
the store yeah you are in the retailers
environment retailers know how to
control that environment and drive
consumer behavior and so we just need to
make sure that we are making all of our
decisions a big difference where do we
start to make a game plan if we are
going out on Friday so I think a really
good conversation to have with your
family is you know what kind of things
are we going to buy do we want to invest
in experiences because I'll share with
you there are some really
great deals at theme parks yeah and so
my family this year we opted for we
found a really great bargain on a cruise
and we're like kids the kids are older
now so it's like do you want to go on a
cruise or do you want a bunch of stuff
under the Christmas tree and they were
like we want the cruise and so yeah so
have that conversation first because
there's some really good deals to have
and then went once you know kind of what
you're after then that's when you start
mapping it all off because you know
Amazon the world's number one retailer
they are really kicking in some great
those deals have already started like if
you want anything
Amazon branded the fire TVs and the dot
the echo dot so those are already going
on on sale like half price right now so
you can get really really great deals on
those things so what are some good good
deals are catching your eye yeah so
locally what I really like we'll talk
about real quick locally first Disney
has a really good yield they're offering
30 $30 off their five-day tickets and
then they're giving you a free Disney
towel
I love the universal season pass deal
where they're giving you three to six
months free when you buy a 12 month yeah
that is really astounding I've been I've
been watching annual price annual pass
prices for a long time that is a really
really great deal they've got some
they've got some also you know just
multi-day ticket deals
SeaWorld $9.99 a month for their season
passes are really fantastic Legoland as
a BOGO right now that for their Black
Friday they're blue Friday that they'll
be offering even like Gator land it's so
inexpensive to get a season pass you can
get the kids twenty-five dollars for the
year and I think that would be a great
like if you have preschoolers I think
that would be such a great purchase a
toll tickets I think are gonna be $36
again these are all really really great
deals hotel deals Rosen is really
kicking in some amazing deals so they've
got $69 for and most of their properties
not the not the the the four-star ones
but it's $69 and includes four people go
to the breakfast buffet that's what you
pay for the breakfast buffet and it's
like you divide the breakfast buffet and
you get to stay at the hotel for free
check out Rosen hotels but when I dress
and as you go to visit Orlando because
they have a deal where if you use the
gift code gift that you get an
additional 10% off anything that you
purchase to visit Orlando which is a
great deal all these notes all right in
cyber monday also yeah yeah I mean we
would even talked about how the deals
better yeah so Walmart has a 4k TV 65
inches for three ninety-eight oh I
should also let you know that JCPenney
Walmart and others okay they're starting
JCPenney opens Thursday at 2 p.m.
I'm which is just it's getting silly now
yeah Walmart's just basically saying
well we're starting Wednesday night and
so yeah so forget it you might get there
might be a break Thursday morning for
holiday shoppers but pretty much there's
eventually there would be no time off
right boys will be expected to yeah to
show up and but yeah I mean really there
are bogos there are 50% off deals
JCPenney has amazing deals Kohl's has
amazing Kohl's has a DSLR camera it's
the same camera I have I spent $750 for
its 398 so if you can get that again
some of these deals where they have
limited limited quantities you know
you're gonna have to compete you're
gonna have to get in line early if you
really want those I don't usually like
those kind of deals I would like to like
you mentioned cyber monday deals can be
really fantastic but you have to
understand again cyber monday Black
Friday we're now talking about this
continuum of it's like now multi multi
day events or it's like Black Friday
week now a lot of retailers are
referring it to so you don't have to
feel bad if you don't feel like going
out on the crowds on Friday do not go
out to the crowds you don't need to
because you're gonna have the same deals
Walmart coms gonna offer great deals
like the all the retailers are offering
great online deals as well of course
Amazon is doing some amazing stuff
