WBRZ - Baton Rouge

BATON ROUGE- Planning to brave the crowds Friday to get the big deals? Remember to stay calm, and be nice.

Other advice from experts:
- Plan your route based on what you need to buy, and stores' opening hours.
- Do your research.
- Check websites. You might be able to find the same deals online.

But, some items will require going to the store early. Must-have gifts, like toys for kids, or in-demand items stores might run out of may force you to get in line.
