Tips for conquering Black Friday shopping like a pro

"The first and most important thing to remember is that not every sale is going to be a good one. There are a lot of sales out there that are framed as being great discounts that are not, in fact, fantastic," Burrow said.

Before you shop, make sure to do the following:

  • Make a list. Think -- who do you need to shop for this holiday season and how much are you willing to spend?
  • Set a price drop alert using shopping apps like Honey or CamelCamelCamel to tell you when prices go down.
  • Plan your non-negotiable purchases ahead of the sale.
  • Use price tracking tools and coupon extensions.
