Black Friday Survival Kit with a Printable

November 18, 2013 By Shannah Coe 36 Comments

Guess what will be here in a just over a week?  Sure, there is Thanksgiving but there is also Black Friday!  Are you a Black Friday shopper?  I definitely am and look forward to it every year.  If you are too, I am here to help you with your black Friday preparation with tips on creating a Black Friday Survival Kit {and printable}!

Shopping Survival Kit with Banner Label_wm

Making it to all of the black Friday stores to check out the deals and take advantage of the savings can be a long process.  There tends to be a lot of waiting in line and, if you are like me, you are out for several hours at a time.  Being successful in black Friday shopping is best done with a plan and an “emergency” kit.  Here’s a peek at mine:

Shopping Kit Printable Close Up_wm

I started with a plain tote bag and just ironed on the Let’s Shop.  I thought it was a fun little addition to an otherwise boring bag.  Mathlete and I usually end up in lines at different stores so, with this bag, he can have snacks and supplies with him and I can just stash anything I need in my purse too. {I’m sure he’ll turn it so no one sees the lettering though}

In my bag, I have the following “supplies”
– Granola Bars for Mathlete
– Trail Mix
– Lara Bars for Me
– Bottled Water for me
– Gatorade for Mathlete
– Two Reeses Christmas trees for when my sweet tooth kicks in
– Starbucks card preloaded for our caffeine break
– My Jackery phone charger
– Headphones
– Pen
– My Black Friday Printable Shopping List from Swish Printables

Donna designed the shopping list printable for me after I emailed her looking for a much cuter way to keep track of my planned purchases this black Friday.  I think she did a great job {as always} and I can’t wait to use it.  She is so awesome though that she is giving it to you guys for free!  Just click over to her free printables page and you can download your copy too!

So, now we are all ready to shop and grab some of those great black Friday deals.  Are you ready?

    Shannah, this is great! I do an annual Black Friday outing with friends and that list will help (maybe!) keep us a little more focused! Thank you so much for sharing and pinning! Have a happy Tuesday!

    This is an awesome idea! I am going to use this one! My family use to drop my sister off at work and shop all night long then get breakfast at 3-4 AM and go home and to bed for a few hours then go back out. Now she has a car so I am not sure what we will do.

    Cute idea! I haven’t gone Black Friday shopping the last two years and I’ve missed it. I haven’t decided about this year yet. I seem to do more and more of my shopping online as my kids get older.

    You’re hilarious. I am such an online Black Friday shopper. I’ve been out once or twice and it was just too much and I ended up more annoyed than I started and left without buying anything. This is an awesome idea though so someone who is up for braving the insanity.
