| Last Black Friday, Joni Crothers and 16 of her friends and family donated $10,000 worth of gifts, which they scored for only $2,000. |
Big-time deal hunters know that the secret to finding the deepest discounts on Black Friday is to start early.
That's why last year, Joni Crothers and 16 of her friends and family, dubbed her "coupon-tourage," assembled at her Ohio home at 9 p.m. on Thanksgiving. But the real planning began months before, when they first met in July to discuss strategy.
Crothers was no discount-chasing newbie. She started cutting coupons four years ago when her husband lost his automotive factory job. Now, she said her finely honed couponing skills rack up $100,000 worth of free goods each year.
Crothers has gone hunting for Black Friday deals for 16 years, but last year the stakes were higher. Armed with wish lists from several needy families in the community, the group set out to find the desired items and donate the entire haul.
