Hello, hello!
Thanksgiving is upon us, which also means the start of the holiday shopping season! If you’re like me, you wait all year long for the Black Friday bargains! But sometimes Black Friday shopping can be super intimidating and even dangerous! So here’s an easy way to navigate the best sales for the holidays!
Pin for later!
Check out my guide to Black Friday deals especially for parents, with all the info you need on Black Friday sales and discounts at Walmart, Target, Toys ‘R Us and more. I won’t be heading to the stores on Thanksgiving night (I’ll be recovering from all the cooking and eating!), so I’ve also included some online Black Friday deals.
Happy Thanksgiving and happy shopping!

I save on holiday shopping by shopping all year long and picking up things I find on sale. I also do swagbucks http://bit.ly/NBn4OM and cash out for Amazon Gift cards all year long and then just save up my Amazon money to help buy Christmas gifts. =)

i do most of my shopping online so i save on gas. I shop and compare prices. Last year we wanted to get my daughter the melissa and doug art easel. it was on sale through their site but i kept searching to find a better price. I got it through amazon w/ free shipping for just 59.95. I love when toysrus and kohls offer free shipping. I also by items when they are on sale and put them away. We bought books for our kids this summer and I have hid them till Christmas. and of course GIVeaways!! I love to enter giveaways and for toys, books and gift cards!

I go through rebate sites like Ebates and SHop at HOme when I shop online. That combined with coupon codes = BIG SAVINGS!

Denise, that’s a good tip. Did anyone brave the stores yesterday? I was too tired!

I shop on Black Friday at my some of my favorite stores. I love Target and Walmart. JCP and Kohls always have great deals too. I love to compare prices and you can also get great deals the Christmas Eve and the day after Christmas. I haven’t shopped Christmas Eve in awhile but I love the day after Christmas shopping for Christmas decorations!
Melissa-CloudMom
Janice, I have found great things at Kohl’s before! That’s a super store with a lot of finds!
Stefanie Gladden
I try to set a budget, and find coupons and deals for everything!

I have to confess I still haven’t shopped nor taken advantage of these deals – too tired and overwhelmed this past weekend! Which is not to say I’m not getting stressed about the holiday shopping already!! I am really appreciating these good tips from you all!
