Stay up late, battle the lines, walk away with exactly what you wanted at prices that are only available once a year.  Black Friday in-store shopping can be both a feat and a thrill.  One of my favorite annual Black Friday traditions is waiting in line outside Sports Authority to get a free Sports Authority gift card.  I love that I get paid to wait in line and I can use the free gift card to pay next-to-nothing for my Black Friday Sports Authority purchase.

How It Works.  If you are one of the first 80 people (age 18 or older) who enter your local Sports Authority store on Black Friday you’ll get a special Sports Authority gift card worth $10-$500!  Doors open at midnight (which is HOURS earlier than past years) so be sure to plan ahead!

Before I get my hands on the free Sports Authority gift card, I like to have in mind what I will spend the free money on.  After all, the Black Friday Sports Authority Bonus Bucks are only valid on Black Friday and I don’t want to waste a free gift card.

Browse the ad, mark it up.  You might want to circle things like…

Fitness footwear.  Your kids need new running, soccer, or hiking shoes.  Your husband wants new golf shoes.  You want new walking shoes.  Get everyone new athletic shoes and save some serious cash by getting in on Sports Authority’s BOGO 50% off Black Friday sale.  Footwear for the whole family is marked down.  Get one pair at full price and get the second pair at half off.  Get two pairs at full price and get two pairs at half off.  The bigger your family or the more pairs of shoes you buy, the more you’ll save.  Stack Sports Authority’s Black Friday Shoe Sale with savings unlocked with Bonus Bucks (the free gift card) AND when paying with Sports Authority discount gift cards and you’ll save yourself at least an additional $10 + 15%.

Basketball, Football, Yoga Ball, Tennis Ball.  You name the activity.  As long as it needs a ball, you’re in luck.  No paying full price for you.  All balls are half off.  Balls are a fun stocking stuffer and also an oddly shaped gift to wrap.  Keep your family entertained for hours and active by replacing a worn out volleyball or getting your son more tee balls.  Increase Sports Authority’s 50% off Ball Sale by another 15% off when you pay with a discount Sports Authority gift card.

Sleeping Gear.  Round out or start your family’s camping gear or your husband’s hunting gear.  Sleeping bags are as low as $11.99 ($10.19 if you pay with discount Sports Authority gift cards!)!  Air mattresses for sleeping outdoors or hosting in-town guests are under $60 ($51 if you pay with discount gift cards!).

Some people literally shop on Black Friday.  Others, shop on what some of my friends lovingly call “Black Thursday.”  Since some stores, like Toys R Us, open at 8:00 p.m. on Thanksgiving night, it’s important to sequence your Black Friday shopping so you know which sales are not to miss.

Toys R Us has some of the best Black Friday kids’ toy and electronics deals for 2012.  Pair Toys R Us Black Friday prices with Plastic Jungle discount gift cards and you’ll save even more!

If you use discount Toys R Us gift cards to buy an Apple 4th Generation iPod Touch on Black Friday, you’ll save 10% AND get back a $20 Toys R Us gift card AND a $30 iTunes gift card.  It’s like paying only $130 for the newest iPod Touch!

Buy your child his or her first car for less than $1,000.    You can get your 3 to 6 year-old child their very own Barbie or Cadillac Hybrid Escalade Fisher-Price Power Wheel for ONLY $249 (normally $419.99) when you use discount Toys R Us gift cards to buy this item on Black Friday at Toys R Us.  My nephew just loves his!

Legos, Legos, Legos.  Toys R Us is giving a 40% price reduction on ALL its Lego products on Black Friday!  SpongeBob Krusty Krab Adventure Legos are on sale for $20.99!  Lego Duplo Disney Pixar Cars 2 Big Bentley set is only $32.99!  (This set normally costs $54.99)   And the Harry Potter Hogwarts Lego set is only $41.99! Save an additional 10% Lego sets at Toys R Us by ordering your Toys R Us discount gift cards now.

Plan ahead.  Know when your favorite stores’ Black Friday sales begin so you can get your hands on all the low priced deals you want.

March might be passing quickly but if you take a moment to take your turn on a few contests you might just end up ahead.
