My Black Friday Cheat Sheet

If you know me, you know I’m a bargain-buster, sale-seeker and overall thrifty shopper when I can be. I try not to shop TOO much, as I know over-consumption of goods is not good for the environment OR my bank account. When it comes to Black Friday, I consider myself a bench warmer because I do all my shopping from my couch rather than by foot. I actually think Black Friday and Cyber Monday are the perfect times to fill in the pieces you’ve been needing in your fall/winter wardrobe, buy that air fryer you’ve had your eye on the past few months, and get ahead of your Christmas shopping while simultaneously saving money.

So I wanted to share with you guys the Black Friday deals that I personally recommend! Some of these are brands that I’ve worked with on IG for marketing campaigns that I happen to genuinely love and some of these are sales that I found and will use myself come Friday/Monday! 

Denim:

I know it’s basic but American Eagle and Abercrombie are both doing 30% off their entire site now through Black Friday and this is where I get almost all of my denim. Their styles tend to consistently fit better than other denim I find. I feel like sometimes they are a little pricier but it’s worth spending money on a solid pair of denim than buying 3-4 pairs at a cheaper price that you consistently pass up when picking out your day to day wardrobe. Below are some of my favorite picks!

Tops:

Here are some of my classic picks that will go great with a basic denim or dressed up with a beautiful skirt/vegan leather pant! Okay, J Crew is celebrating early with the promo code: SHOPEARLY through November 24th.. So this one is a little time sensitive but worth the hustle! Express also coming in hot with 50% off everything! Check my picks from both below

Beauty:

Three vegan-friendly brands you should look out for this Black Friday are Rel, Saie, and Tula. Rel is doing 20% off their site. I just got some of their No Duh tinted chapstick. Saie is also doing a 25% off on their site. The number one question I get about makeup is what lipstick I am wearing and 9/10 times I’m wearing this liquid blush on my lips in shade “Chilly.” Tula is doing 30% off their site as well and don’t even get me started on their Skin Tint Sunscreen.

Holiday Party Picks:

I feel like I generally go the goofy route with a cheeky ugly sweater dress at holiday parties, because that is the level of formality my family functions are at... so I’ll be leaving a few of those options down there for you all in my Amazon picks section! But for a little more elevated look I selected some cute fits from Hello Molly that has some of the cutest picks for holiday party attire - use the code BFTAKE20 for 20% off at Checkout. Revolve loves participating in Black Friday and although it is unclear what the deals will be exactly, they previously had up to 65% off certain items on past Black Friday Sales.

Kitchen Deals:

This next section is all about the kitchen! I LOVE to cook but I’m not naturally gifted in the kitchen, so I need help with my favorite appliances to help make my healthy meal dreams come true. Okay for this section I am mostly sticking with Macy’s because the savings is top notch in my option. I mean the Ninja Foodie Dual Airfryer goes from $199.00 to $119.00 - find me better savings! Okay but really, comment below all your favorite savings too! 😂

A little bonus surprise for you guys is The Always Pan that everyone and their mother has been talking about is on sale from Our Place. It’s normally $145 and it’s under $100 for Black Friday. RUN, don't walk. 

Holiday Cozies:

Okay every year my mom gets us all holiday PJs so I wanted to link some cute sets that are on sale as ideas for all my fellow holiday pajama lovers.

Amazon Must-Haves:
