Black Friday Shopping Guide

My belly and heart are full and now it’s time to prepare for tomorrow’s shopping. The best part is I will be doing the majority of my shopping in my PJs from the comfortable confines of our beach rental.

Keep reading to learn all my tips for Black Friday shopping and all the deals I plan to take advantage of.

  1. Make a list of your shopping needs ahead of time. It’s easy to get caught up in the sales and buy items you don’t need, but if you have a list of the items you need for yourself and others, it will better guide your shopping. The following items are are on my list, what is on yours?
  2. Fill your online shopping carts prior to Black Friday. When you return on Black Friday any items that are on sale will auto-reflect the price change. Sites like ShopStyle can be used to ensure you are notified when an item you have been eyeing drops in price.
  3. Use multiple discounts. Don’t just rely on the site’s discounts/sales, look for additional promo codes on RetailMeNot and ensure you earn cash back on all your purchases by using Ebates. If you are shopping in store, make sure to print/bring coupons with you, and use your brand credit card to earn extra points or cash back.

NORDSTROM || 20-40% OFF

Select items at Nordstrom are 20% off and Designer items are an additional 40% off. I have my eye on this light up makeup mirror, this handbag, these boots, these boots, and this adorable sweater.

EXPRESS || 50% OFF SITEWIDE

Being petite, shopping for jeans has always been a struggle. EXPRESS has always had great petite options. I have way too many items in my cart for me and some amazing gifts for her and him under $30 including this hat, these statement earrings and these adorable slipper socks. I NEED these cozy sweaters (here and here), these work pants, these jeans, and these camis.

TARGET|| AWESOME DOORBUSTERS & SALES

(EBATES 1% CASH BACK)

So I may have left Target for last but that’s because it’s the best haha! Target is literally the happiest place on earth and has everything I could possibly need. Some of the doorbuster deals I am loving are this Nikon camera set, family games like Rummikub for 50% off, $10 sweaters, and this men’s electric razor that my hubby desperately needs. I also included links to a few sweatshirt tunics similar to the one I was wearing in my Instastory yesterday. The one I was wearing is from Target 2 years ago. I am also loving this plaid skirt that is on clearance. Shop all my favorite Target finds using the widget below.

KOHLS|| DOORBUSTERS, 15% OFF &$15 Kohl’s Cash

(EBATES 6% CASH BACK)

I wanted to include Kohl’s in my shopping guide for any of you who wanted to shop the items from my Kohl’s Beauty post last week. I am definitely going back for the gradient eyeshadow palette, the white eyeliner, and this shimmer stick. The CARGO Holiday eyeshadow palette I fell in love with is on sale for $19.50 (it was $34 when I went last). I linked my favorites from the beauty post below as well as a few new home/beauty  deals as well some items I love the Lauren Conrad line. I buy a new pair of these LC flip-flops in gold every year and wear them to death! I think I also need these velvet mules.
