I am going to share my secret to successfully shopping at Walmart on Black Friday.  First of all, the ad for Black Friday has been released...check it out below.  Second, to secure the great deals that come only on BF and avoid waiting in long lines...here's what you have to do:

Look at the flyer.  See what you want.  Go to Walmart today.  Put the items on Lay-A-Way.  On Black Friday, go pick up your items at your leisure.  But, it has to be on Black Friday to get the deal.  I did it already for this year.  I was successful with it last year.  Of course, this won't work if the items aren't in stock yet.  But if that's the case, wake up at 12:01 am on November 25th and make your purchases online.

Waking up and standing in long lines is for the birds.  I prefer to drink coffee in my cozies from my bed and do all my shopping.  Easy peasy.
