The Holidays With This Black Friday Cheat Sheet

It’s the most wonderful time of the year! Well… for bargain shoppers everywhere. Black Friday boasts of the best sales for anything from electronics to hot fashion finds across America. Seasoned pros know where to go to get all of the best deals and steals! Some even plan ahead to make sure they are as quick and efficient as possible in each store. Yep, that’s right! It can come down to a science a lot of the time. But don’t worry! If you’re new to this super sale madness or not as savvy when it comes to navigating this day, then start here!

Target

If you love Target, then you want to be at your favorite branch on Black Friday. All of the sale items are placed in designated areas and there are usually no limits on how much of one item you can buy! If you are a Target REDcard holder there will be extra special deals just for you! From extra savings to exclusive deals, REDcard holders will have the most to gain from this Black Friday experience. Target is the place to shop if you are looking for electronics, home goods, and toys!

Amazon

…Or better known as the one-stop shop for everything. Amazon has deals every day, but when Black Friday comes around, they pull out all the stops! There are tons of deals from different sellers. You can expect to see deals on popular toys, electronics, fashion, and entertainment. Judging from last year, Amazon may be the best place to get your electronics!

The Body Shop

This place always has good deals for the holidays. Their animal cruelty-free brand boasts of body butter, fragrances, skincare, and haircare items for men and women. There is usually a big bag of goodies for you to take advantage of as well as buy one get one and buy three get two free deals.  I know… Who could resist? In my opinion, this is the best place to shop if you are looking to get a gift for someone who loves self-care products. The goodie bag or one of the many lotions and fragrance sets will be a hit!

Sephora and Ulta

These makeup megastores are known to have some pretty fair deals going on from time to time. But when Black Friday rolls around, you can find just about any type of product on sale! If you are shopping for your other half, daughter, friend, or yourself, Sephora and Ulta bring forth deals on fragrances, skincare, you guessed it… Makeup!  Either of these stores is a great place to get all of your makeup needs met.

Local fashion boutiques

Chances are your favorite little boutiques in your neighborhood will have a few Black Friday deals you can take advantage of. If you want to stay out of the malls, I suggest doing a little research on the boutique’s Black Friday plans and then grabbing the styles you want when the day comes around. You can also check and see if they have a mailing list that you can join to receive exclusive deals and sales!

All of these stores are good places to visit when you are looking to stack up on some great deals. And why pay full price, when you can get it for way less? If you are just starting out, stick to a plan otherwise it’s easy to get a little overwhelmed. Set an alarm, put on your comfy shoes and attire, get your caffeine fix, grab a buddy (or go at it alone), gas up the car, and get in line for the ride of your life!
