It's time to head out to shop! As you shop today and plan where you're going, consider that stores that are very busy will often extend their "power hours" or whatever they call them because of the volume of customers who arrived before the hours ended but haven't made it through the looooong line yet. I know for sure this happens at Kohl's. Also, if you get to a place right before their hours end, ask an associate if you can still get the sale price even though it will be after the power hours when you get to the register. They want to make the sale so I'm betting they'll acquiesce. How much money you save is often up to you and how assertive you're willing to be!
