Black Friday
Black Friday & Cyber Monday 2013 Round-Up: Fashion & More
Black Friday– A Man Made Monster is on the Loose
When I started The Recessionista back in 2008, Black Friday was a unique day of sales and savings and I was even willing to get up at 4 am to go to the stores to get the deals. Five years later, in 2013 Black Friday is not that unique in terms of deals and special sales. The deals will continue right up until Christmas day. And, apps like Hukkster, WishClouds, Shoptopia and ShopKick can help you find deals any day of the week, by sending you alerts when items you are watching actually go on sale. Now Thursday, Thanksgiving Day, has become an extension of Black Friday. Check my earlier post to see all the stores open on Thanksgiving Day. All these sales make me want to stay in bed on Black Friday or stay up late Thanksgiving night to shop online. However, some of my readers still love the Black Friday challenge and the comradery of shopping with friends and family. To help you get the best for less here are the deals on my list compiled via The Recessionista’s radar system. I’m breaking it down into categories, to try to bring you the best savings. Here we go!
