As you may know, the first JCPenney store opened more than 100 years ago, in 1902. You can even visit the “Golden Rule Store” to this day.

James Cash Penney’s views were strong towards customer service which is a huge basis of many stores number one priority to this day. His simple way of thinking, do unto others as you would have them do unto you, created the famous JCPenney store name. With his unique way of conducting business he had 500 JCPenney stores by 1927.

Keeping with tradition JCPenney still passes on the savings as well. You can use our JCPenney coupons to get $10 off your purchase of any order $10 or more.

JCPenney has pretty much been around forever. We love passing on their deals and savings, with JCPenney coupons. Not only can you save money there, but they are also doing great things for the environment.

JCPenney stores are the leading retailer in earning the Environmental Protection Agency’s Star rating for a total of 81 stores in three years. Not only that, but one of the 1920s JCPenney stores earned an Energy Star. To make a nearly 100 year old building energy efficient is a great feat, and I am glad they are being recognized for that.

Show your support for stores leading the industry and do some of your shopping there. Along with printable coupons, you can also do online shopping with JCPenney coupon codes.

Last year I offered several Black Friday Tips for shopping. Black Friday is becoming such a phenomenon that more and more people are venturing out on this deal busting day. Budgets are tight, and deals are plentiful.

To refresh your memory are a few of our Black Friday Tips:

• Start Early
• Bring A Friend
• Get Comfy
• Leave The Kids At Home
• Arrive Early

After experiencing one of my first Black Fridy’s last year, I noticed a tip that was widely ignored.

Many people brought their kids along! At 5-6am that is very tough to fight through the crowds of people, as well deal with the long lines, and rude workers.

What is your #1 Black Friday tip?

As I’ve predicted according to Black Friday polls, more people are expected to hit the malls this year. According to the poll 26% of people said they will shop this Black Friday, up from 21% last year.

With the increase of people, as well as probably even more sales than last year, it will be important to have a game plan.

Our last Black Friday tip is to bring a friend. There is strength in numbers and it could ease your shopping trip to have company. As I’ve already written in our previous Black Friday tips, there will be lines, crowds, and craziness. Having a game plan with a friend could ease your Black Friday shopping.

After Black Friday many retailers will be able to figure out how their stores did. With many people predicting a down year for stores, I am anticipating a huge Black Friday and Cyber Monday.

With every store competing against each other this year, it’s so important to compare prices. That will be a vital Cyber Monday tip this year. You have all day to shop at your convenience so browse a few stores first and compare. That is a huge advantage over going out on Black Friday, you can’t compare.

As we wrap up our Cyber Monday and Black Friday tips we will start featuring several stores with their “leaked” Black Friday ads, and early Cyber Monday specials. Expect a big week of updates for us here at Deal Locker.

One thing that scares away people from Black Friday is the lines. Popular malls and stores will have lots of shoppers. That in turn results in long waits for checkouts as well as to just get into the store. Who doesn’t hate waiting in line?

Our Black Friday tip is to make sure you are dressed for the occasion. Be comfortable, good shoes and comfortable clothes. Chances are very good that you will at least wait in a pretty long line, so make sure to try to make the best of it.

We are trying to get you ready for the biggest shopping event of the season. Make sure to check out our handy Black Friday shopping tips. We also have the latest Cyber Monday tips.

Cyber Monday is a day when online retailers get together and offer great deals online. It often includes free shipping, a % off and more. This year Cyber Monday falls on December 1st, 2008.

A great tip for Cyber Monday shopping is to try to focus your purchases at only a few stores. Shopping at only a couple of stores will give you the discounts that you are looking for. Certain stores will offer you free shipping, but you also must spend a certain amount of money on your purchase.

For early holiday shopping, check out some of our Black Friday tips. Of course you should arrive early, and leave the kids at home for Black Friday. But you don’t have to worry about any of that on Cyber Monday!

Black Friday isn’t your ordinary shopping trip. I’m assuming this year will be huge, because more people will want (and need) deals and a bit of extra savings. Many stores aren’t expecting to do well, so expect even better deals this year.

With such a massive amount of people in one area, leave the kids at home. Not only could this be a safety issue, it’s really counterproductive. If you go when the stores open (some at 4am!) the last thing kids will want to do is shop.

You can avoid this by staying home and shopping online, Cyber Monday. We have been giving our Black Friday tips, but we will also have some Cyber Monday tips as it gets a bit closer. Then of course the big deals!

Just as you should start planning your Black Friday trip early, you should arrive early too. It’s always best to be prepared. After you figure out which stores to hit, for what sales you want, get there early!

Not only are most places overcrowded, some deals are only for the first X amount of customers. The earlier you get there the better. Chances are the item or items you are looking to buy, other people will too. You don’t want them to sell out!

We will keep giving you more Black Friday tips. If you have any good tips or Black Friday stories leave us a comment and let us know! Happy shopping.
