In order to get all the stuffs in your shopping list on Black Friday require some tips.
1. Black Friday madness starts at midnight so you need to wear layer of clothes since it is almost to winter weather especially at night. But do not wear too many layers cos if clothes is in your shopping list, you need to undress layer by layer of clothes, phewwwww......... So, go for the thickest winter clothing you have in the closet.
2. Bring your own hot drinks. You prone to get a cup of hot drink when you're cold and there are only 1-2 kiosk that sell hot drink in the entire factory outlet, so the queue is as long as one that going into the Coach outlet itself.
3. Go with a group of friends who likes shopping or wanted to get the same things as you. For example, if you have to lining up to get into Coach outlet for 3 hours, it is good to have friend that has mutual shopping list :) So, you don't have to line up for 3 hrs, instead take turn to go check out other designer shops.
4. If you tend to go overboard on shopping, bring just cash. Leave your credit card/debit card at home or with your husband :)
*This could also be applied for Malaysian Mega Sale as well :)*
Post-shopping notes:
I lined up for 2 hrs at Coach yesterday, fuhhh.. Bought 2 sling bags! Yes, I'm into sling bags now, easy to travel. Glad that I didn't go overboard (usually I will). Last year, I spent over the allocated budget cos tak bawak banyak clothes from Malaysia.
Funny notes :
While we were lining up, an old couple went to a group in front of us and asked "What's so special??" cos the queue was very long. Hahahahaha.. Aah kan, ape yang special sangat Coach nih? Anyway, Burberry opens at 6am and people started to lining up since 11pm. When we passed by Burberry at 4 am, the same person still lining up but the line was growing longer.. Aiyarkk! Tapi walau Burberry 50% pun, still tak mampu beli.
Jai was waiting outside when me and friends went inside Coach. There were one Asian couple, without lining up, ran straight into the Coach outlet and the security need to pull them out. Orang macam nih pun ade ke?
