It seems like Black Friday doesn’t really exist anymore, since many of these brands started sales last week, more than a week before Black Friday. I’ve personally found most of these sales overwhelming, but sifted through many emails to see what some of my favorite brands are doing.
I’m impressed that this year’s sales seem to be better than previous years, so if you’re looking for a discount on beauty or clothing that are higher than the 10-20% you usually see throughout the year, this is a good time to pick up some things.
However, as I like to remind everyone every year, if you are overwhelmed or not in a position to spend a lot of money, click out of this post. Unsubscribe from store emails, don’t go on social media where you’ll see ads. That’s the only way I’ve been able to ignore sales when I felt tempted. If you do want to shop, make a list of items you’re looking for rather than aimlessly shopping deals. It’s so easy to get sucked into something just because it’s on sale, then never using that item again once you get it. I’ve personally found that making a list of items I’m interested in helps me stay on track with what I’m looking for.
This is a running list, so I will keep updating it as I see more sales come up!
