Most years, we miss Black Friday because we go on vacation. This year we will be here. I am not going shopping… well, maybe definitely online! That said, here are some tools to help you get the best bang for your buck on Black Friday.
Black Friday.com is “the authority” on Black Friday and holiday deals. Their goal is to make your shopping experience simple and stress free. They feature thousands of deals worth heading out early for, but because many of the deals are available online, you can skip the crowds and save money without leaving the house. Black Friday has all of the official ads for Black Friday and you can sign up for alerts. You can also check out their Facebook page. Here are some great tips from Techlicious on getting the best deals without leaving the house this weekend!
Addicted to Savings is a great deal blog and they take Black Friday and Cyber Monday VERY seriously. She has a whole page for it and a Twitter alert system. Check it out HERE. Brad’s Deals had a Black Friday site and a Cyber Monday site, too! Also, in Chicago, check out Time Out’s best Black Friday and Small Business Saturday recommendations.
What sites and tools are you using to get the best deals on Black Friday? Cyber Monday? Don’t forget to check out alternative ideas like Track Friday and consider joining me in some holiday challenges to stay in shape during this crazy season!
When you are done shopping, check out Giving Tuesday! What is it? #GivingTuesday™ is a campaign to create a national day of giving at the start of the annual holiday season. It celebrates and encourages charitable activities that support nonprofit organizations. We have a day for giving thanks. We have two for getting deals. For the third year, we have #GivingTuesday™, the “giving season’s” opening day.
On Tuesday, December 2nd, let’s talk giving. This site provides links to countless charities and you can learn about their missions and beneficiaries. Check it out and pass it on! I will tell you more on Tuesday, but I am celebrating Giving Tuesday with Finds’ faves Cycle for Survival and Passports with Purpose. Get ready to give back!
Wow – I could do this all day and night and still not capture all of the amazing deals! So I start with some of my faves. Find any great stuff I missed? Please let a comment! Oh and don’t forget to check ebates (lots of extra cash back deals) and Active Junky before you buy! Also check Amex and Paypal for immediate cashback offers when you use their payment method.
