How can you save even more money while Black Friday shopping?
Rakuten and Top Cash Back
Before you shop for anything, make Rakuten and TopCashBack accounts. Rakuten gives you rebates back on your purchases, and I have earned over $150 back on purchases to far! It’s so easy to use and you can really get some amazing deals. Use this link to get $30 back on your first purchase of $30 or more! I also just recently started using TopCashBack and have already earned almost $20 cash back as well. Get $10 cash back with this TopCashBack referral link here!
The Top Black Friday Deals
Small Appliances
Instant Pot
If you’re thinking about purchasing an Instant Pot for yourself or as a gift, now is the time! They’re on a great sale during Black Friday shopping. You can get a full review of the Instant Pot here.
Keurig
Grab the gift of quick brewing java! The Keurig is used everyday in our house. Check out this coffee to accompany it, too.
Air Fryer
I don’t have an air fryer yet, so I can’t recommend a specific brand, but I’m hoping to possibly purchase one during all the deals this Black Friday. Just like the Instant Pot, there are so many recipes to try with the air fryer as well.
Home
TVs
TVs are always hugely discounted during Black Friday. That’s how we got ours a few years ago at Walmart.
Tips: We placed an order online for pick up so they didn’t run out of the TVs before we got there! Just a word of warning though, it does seem like the rumor of Black Friday sale TVs being lower quality is true. Although our TV works fine, it does have some quirks that I don’t believe a regular price TV would have.
Furniture
With big holidays come big furniture savings. Check online and in store to find these great deals.
Mattresses
This is one of the things I’ll be shopping for this Black Friday. Just as with furniture, check online and in store to scope out the best deals.
Appliances
Tis the season to get new appliances. Often times retailers will have deals on bundles, so the more appliances you get, the more money you save.
Security Cameras
You may think this would be an odd gift, but what’s more important than the safety, security, and health of your friends and family? Keep them and their belongings safe with security cameras. With a little research, you can find out what set up would work best for them.
Tools
Great for gifts for your own home improvement projects or diy lovers, tools are always can’t miss Black Friday items. You can get great deals on name brand tools and accessories that will make anyone on your Christmas list cheer! In fact, I just purchased this Dewalt light for 25% off for my husband’s birthday! Most of the Black Friday shopping my husband does is for tools at The Home Depot. They have some deeply discounted tools, tool sets, and BOGO deals.
Tip: Be aware of the brushed vs brushless tools. You’ll want to get the brushless ones, so double check the details on the box.
Christmas Decorations
Tis the season to be jolly! And to decorate! Save some money on those decorations for yourself and spread some cheer to others by purchasing decorations for your home and as gifts for friends and family.
Beauty and Fitness
Fitness Equipment
Keep an eye out for discounts on workout equipment and machines before everyone grabs them up to help stick to their New Year’s resolution.
Dumbbells
Grab up those weights during the heavy discounts of Black Friday.
Skincare and Makeup
If you’re on the email list of any of your favorite makeup and skincare brands, I’m sure you’re getting a plethora of emails regarding their sales this season. Now is the time to stock up for the year, as many of these may be the lowest discounts of the year, and they make fantastic gifts as well.
Jewelry
Jewelry by Johan creates beautiful bracelets, rings, necklaces, cuff links, tie clips, and more with unique materials such as wood, meteorite, dinosaur bone, antler shed and more that will be cherished gifts for anyone on your list. They have a 25% off sale for Black Friday, so check them out here. You can also ready my complete review of my experience with Jewelry by Johan here.
