Best day of week to visit to avoid crowds and morning or afternoon?

Definitely during the week in the morning to mid afternoon. Weekends are mobbed and obviously holidays are a big NO!

Any day of the week. But you must get there at 10AM sharp and be out the stores within an hour. Otherwise you're screwed.

Any coupon books

It’s much slower than it once was honestly anyway. Holidays are busy but definitely not the mob scene it was once known for

Yes

Weekday midmornings, but never ever on holidays - traffic is ridiculous!

Weekday mornings

Monday through Thursday
