9.) Get something back back. Now’s the time to use the credit card that earns you frequent flyer miles or cash back on your purchases. Or try shopping through a partnership site, like Upromise.com, where you can save money for college while you shop.

10.) Learn from an expert. Mary Ostyn, author of A Sane Woman's Guide to Raising a Large Family and Family Feasts for $75 a Week, wrote some great posts on her blog, Owlhaven, about how to make the most of Black Friday in general and at Walmart; her pointers are perfect for other stores as well.
