Best of Black Friday

Ready, Set, SHOP! The biggest shopping weekend of the year is here. If you count shopping as cardio, you’re sure to work off your entire Thanksgiving meal this weekend!

If you’re not familiar, Black Friday officially kicks off the holiday shopping season. Retailers all over slash prices today to encourage consumer spending. Typically, Black Friday has been an in-store event and Cyber Monday (coming up this Monday 11/30) was reserved for online shopping. But as people have gotten smarter about their holiday shopping strategy and have opted to avoid the craziness in-store on Black Friday, Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals have spread online all weekend long. A lot of retailers are offering the same savings online that they are in-store. Here’s a list of the best deals I’ve found so far, I’ll be sure to keep this list updated throughout the day and through the weekend. Happy Shopping!
