Ah, Black Friday. The one day a year that sales are almost overwhelming in number. Well, except now there’s Cyber Monday right after. Whatever – Black Friday and Cyber Monday (or BFCM, as some call the combined holidays – yes. I’m serious.) crowd my inbox every year.

And ever year there’s some sale that I forget to take advantage of because I’ve gotten distracted with all the other sales going on. So I’ve taken the time to pull together a list of the most interesting sales I come across. I’ll update this post as I find more, so check back often!

BLACK FRIDAY

Amazon

If you’re like me, Amazon boxes arrive at your doorstep multiple times per week. So I always get excited when I can get good deals on the site. And there are lots of deals on Black Friday. Especially if you’re a Prime member (which seriously, if you aren’t, go here and sign up. Right now.)

And Amazon is rolling out new deals all day long. Some of the brands I’ve seen so far are Keurig, Bose, and Amazon devices like the Echo Dot. There are also Macbooks and TV’s galore. It’s definitely worth doing some browsing.

Also, if you try Key by Amazon delivery (this is delivery straight into your garage, your house, or your card), you’ll get a $10 Amazon credit. [I have not decided if this service creeps me out or not. If you’ve tried it, please let me know what you think!]

Best Buy

Here are a few of the deals Best Buy is offering on Black Friday:

HUGE TVS are on sale: 75″+TVs starting at $729.99, plus save $500 on the LG 82″ 4K TV.
Save up to 40% on select Ring security devices including Ring Video Doorbell 2 at the lowest price its ever been $129.99.
Up to $600 in gift cards with two or more appliances totaling $999 or more.
Save up to $300 on Apple Watch Series 4.
Laptops starting at $89.
Playstation PS4 Bundle 199.99 (save $100).

Talbots

Talbots is offering 50% OFF 1 item until noon Friday + 40% OFF your entire purchase all day. If you know me, you know I’m a big fan of Talbots, so I’m guessing my wallet will get a little lighter on this Black Friday!

Erin Condren

If you’re already thinking about your 2020 planner, Erin Condren’s can’t be beat. And neither can her Black Friday discounts (which actually started the day before Thanksgiving). The ENTIRE SITE is 30% off. That’s right – 30%! You can find the deals HERE.

Etsy

Etsy has up to 60% off over the BFCM weekend and is a GREAT site to find unique gifts. From jewelry to home goods to party supplies, Etsy is pretty much a one-stop shop. To help you out, I’ve set up a list of my Holiday Gift Ideas that I’m continuing to update – check it out for some inspiration as you’re taking advantage of Black Friday deals!

FabFitFun Subscription Box

I was a late-comer to the subscription box craze and I went all in with FabFitFun. I look forward to the box every quarter – it’s like Christmas, opening it up to find out what goodies I’ve got. It really is an amazing deal.

Some items featured in the Winter Box include: LashesMD Eyelash Conditioner, PJ Salvage Faux Trim Cable Slippers, Erno Laszlo Pore Cleansing Clay Mask, Ban.Do Bluetooth Shower Speaker, and much more.

And they’re offering insane Black Friday deals:

Get a FREE Mini Box ($150+ Value) with the purchase of your first box for only $49.99 (USD). Good until December 2nd. Use Code: FREEMINI

This is seriously one of their biggest promotions of the YEAR – you should definitely check it out!

Ocean & Company

This eco-friendly company is having a 50% off Black Friday sale on all jewelry on its site. And you’ll get a free tumbler with any order over $75. In addition, if you use the code CUSTOMLIFE10, you’ll get a special discount. [For those of you with VSCO girls in the house, it’s a great site for holiday gifts for them!]

Plow & Hearth

Not everything from this sweet country store is my style, but they have some great holiday items – and lots of things for your home. From November 28 – December 1, you can save 15% off a $65 or more purchase with the code LSBFRIDAY. Click HERE to check it out.

Nordstrom

Nordstrom is offering up to 50% off on gifts for pretty much everyone on your holiday list. To include free shipping and free returns. It’s worth checking out!

Sur La Table

I’ve talked to y’all about the cooking classes at Sur La Table. Their everyday deals on kitchen goods really are great – so their Black Friday sale is especially awesome. Like up to 75% off awesome.

For example, they’re offering up the Nespresso Virtuo for up to 50% off – that’s an insane deal on a great coffeemaker. They’ve also got deals on a ton of other great brands, including Staub, Greenpan, Scanpan, and La Marque.

Target

Target has some great deals. Up to $100 off video game consoles, discounts on Apple watches, DVDs starting at $4. Click HERE to explore more. Oh – and if you have a Target Red Card, you’ll get early access to the sales.

[Side note: If you don’t already have it, you really should get the Target Red Card. It’s NOT a credit card. And definitely NOT a store card that charges you 25% interest if you run a balance. Nope. It’s a debit card only for use at Target. It pulls money directly from your bank account when you make a purchase there – AND you get 5% off of everything you buy at Target, at Target Starbucks, including clearance items, some gift cards, etc. With as much as I know we all shop at Target, that 5% really adds up.]

The Great Courses

If you aren’t familiar with this video and audio course company, The Great Courses has been around for over 20 years and has over 400 video and audio courses led by the world’s top professors and experts in fields such as philosophy, history, literature, science, the arts, and better living.

Right now, every course is on sale for $60 or less. And they’ve got a subscription option that gives you the flexibility to try out different courses each month for one fee.

The Posh Loft

Y’all know from past posts that I’m a big fan of this cute Savannah boutique. And they’re doing a GREAT online Black Friday sale this week.

On Thursday (Thanksgiving), they’re giving you 30% off your whole purchase. On Black Friday, there will be a tiered sale with instant cash off (Spend $75, get $10 off / $100, get $15 / $150, get $20 off / $175, get $25 off / Spend $200, get $30 off plus a $20 gift card for later use ).

Don’t forget to use the code “CAMERON10” to get a special discount they’re offering to my readers.

Vineyard Vines

Receive 25% off when you spend $100 or more HERE.

CYBER MONDAY

Rakuten

I know I’m a broken record about the virtues of signing up for Rakuten (formerly eBates), but especially on BFCM weekend, getting cash back pays. For this weekend and through Cyber Monday, Rakuten is offering major cash back bonuses for a number of stores. On Cyber Monday, Rakuten has a number of stores offering 20% CASH BACK. You heard me correctly – 20%!

Neiman Marcus offers 15% cash back and Saks Fifth Avenue is offering 16% cash back. Bloomingdales and Macy’s are both offering 10% back.

It’s not a scam – it’s real cash back in your wallet. I’ve gotten back over $500 in the last year. If you sign up here, then in addition to the cash back, you’ll also get $10 after you spend $25. Not hard to do on Cyber Monday!

1800flowers.com

Know you’ll be needing to send flowers soon? Or want to make a spur of the moment nice gesture? 1800flowers.com is offering a Cyber Monday discount of 25% off SITEWIDE with the code enchant25. You’ll also get 15% cash back from Rakuten for shopping today. Definitely a great deal!
