Black Friday & Cyber Monday Shopping Headquarters

Updated Sunday, December 1, 2019

Hi gals! And happy, happy Thanksgiving! I hope you have a lovely day whether you’re celebrating with family and friends or doing something quieter. I want you to know that I am so very thankful for you!!!

Please take ample time to reflect on your own blessings and to be completely present with those you love. But when you’ve had your fill of turkey and pie and everyone has pulled aside to do their own thing, I hope you’ll spend some quality time here at my Black Friday & Cyber Monday Shopping Headquarters. In fact, I hope you’ll stop in here each time you begin any shopping through next Monday.

First off, let me just tell you that the sales are big, BIG, BIG this year! I don’t know if it’s because of the shortened window for shopping between Thanksgiving and Christmas, the upswing in the economy or what, but stores are cutting prices deeper and sooner than I can remember. So this weekend, beginning right now, is truly a great time to shop for Christmas, upcoming birthdays and your own needs.

Black Friday & Cyber Monday Shopping Tips

Let’s start with a few tips for shopping Black Friday & Cyber Monday sales:

• Shop from your desktop or lap top computer, if at all possible. The websites are generally friendlier to the large screen, and you’ll be able to navigate between sites easier, keeping multiple tabs open for comparison shopping.
• Shop online if possible, rather than in the stores. It’s easier, friendlier and, more importantly, sometimes cheaper. Yep, stores consistently have online only deals. Take advantage of these!
• Start with a list of people you’re shopping for and a budget for each person. I don’t necessarily suggest starting with a shopping list for items, unless you know someone has requested or is hoping for a certain item. Why? Because there’s so much great inspiration to be found while you shop. In fact, I hope you’ll check out my own Gift Guides as you shop, too.
• Look for free shipping and free returns. Most online stores are offering free shipping, at least at a minimum spend point. But look for a good deal on return shipping, too. I’m pointing out SHIPPING deals, too, in this guide!!!
• Don’t hesitate! When you find the perfect gift for someone on your list, I suggest you snap it up. Of course, check for return policies. But the best items will be flying off the shelves at these prices. So if the return policy is generous, I suggest over-buying and then returning anything you end up not needing.
• In fact, don’t wait for Cyber Monday. In the recent past, Cyber Monday sales have not gone as deep as in the beginning of this new-ish sale day. And this year, prices are already so discounted that I doubt many stores will deepen the cuts significantly on Monday. Plus, inventory will decidedly shrink as more and more people are shopping online earlier.

Let’s Shop!!!

Because Dressed for My Day is a style blog, I’m staying in my lane and mostly advising you on clothing, accessories, shoes, handbags, etc. I may occasionally advise you of other good deals, especially those listed in my gift guides.

I’ll be updating this page every day through Monday, December 2. So stay tuned and check back in frequently!! Updates will be in red.

Blessed for My Day

May we be women characterized by gratitude. Let’s not only give thanks this day for all of our blessings, but let’s count our blessings and name them one by one each and every day. May we be women who express our gratitude to others, too, frequently, lavishly and genuinely.

And as we move from this holiday to the next, may we remember to be most grateful for the gift of Jesus, God with us. So even when our thanksgiving list feels short, may our appreciation for life be full and rich because of the price Christ paid for our eternity.

Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts. ~ Colossians 3:16
