If you’re planning to brave the crowds on Black Friday, don’t do it alone.

Chances are you’ll be heading to the stores on Black Friday (or maybe even Thanksgiving) with a smartphone in hand. And while you could search for deals in your phone’s browser, downloading apps dedicated to Black Friday and finding offers is your best bet. The apps are free, list all of the offers from big and small retailers, and help you create a shopping plan.
