Stunning Deals To Watch Out For This Black Friday

I’m sure, like myself, we are all excited for the Thanksgiving season this fall. In addition to looking forward to Thanksgiving and finally having a break from school, I’m also looking forward to Black Friday! Especially for my girlies who love to shop (like me LOL), here are just a few good deals to look out for when shopping during this time. 

Amazon

Amazon always has the best deals every year during Black Friday. You’ll most likely find their best savings among the Lightning Deals that they do, where deals update within almost every 5 minutes (so be quick to snag up those pair of shoes you’ve been wanting). Also, Amazon already has relatively low prices and good deals, which makes it the perfect website to shop online for and get a good deal this season.

Best Buy

Best Buy is known for offering the best deals on electronic devices (which is a category that often doesn’t have good savings) during Black Friday. Last year, they had smart TVs from just $79.99 and offered up to $1,000 off the iPhone 14 Pro and $600 off select Mac desktops. They really do put the “Best” in “Buy!”

Target

Obviously Target had to make it on this list! Target is definitely the place to be at this upcoming Black Friday. Just like me, I’m sure almost every girl reading this has an unhealthy obsession with Target (Targetholic, like me LOL). This Black Friday, we can expect to see up to 50% being taken off most items. So don’t walk, RUN to Target.

Bath & Body Works

While Bath & Body Works hasn’t given out any specific sales yet, we can expect there to be really good deals this season. Especially when preparing for the upcoming Christmas and holiday season, Bath & Body Works is the perfect place to go for buying gifts. Historically, Bath & Body Works does BOGO sales in-store, which means a “buy three, get three free” sale. So, start making your scent wishlist now and go to Bath & Body Works. 

Victoria’s Secret

Of course I had to include the iconic Victoria’s Secret on this list. Whether you’re shopping for their PINK items or undergarments, almost all girls love stepping into a Victoria’s Secret during Black Friday. Historically, their deals have been through the roof, with some of their best prices seen during this time of year. Similar to Bath & Body Works, they’ve historically been known to offer many types of BOGO sales, and in 2022, you could save up to 65% on Victoria’s Secret PINK apparel. So, make sure you add Victoria’s Secret as a stop this Black Friday, because they’ll have a lot to offer.

Macy’s

Even though in recent years Macy’s has closed down some of their locations, their deals are worth taking a look at. They are known for their excellent doorbusters, especially ones involving small kitchen appliances. Also, they offer great clothing sales, such as 25% off select UGG boots, 40% off Levi’s products, and 65% off coats and jackets. Their sales definitely do not come to play, so make sure you check Macy’s out this Black Friday!
