What would America be if we didn't follow up a holiday based almost solely on eating large amounts of food with a semi-holiday based solely on spending copious amounts of money? Exactly. Black Friday (and Cyber Monday, for that matter) is a wonderful and often terrifying thing; it can be overwhelming at times to head to the mall without a clue of sales or deals. Well, fear not, shoppers: I'm here to help.
After Thanksgiving comes Christmas and Hanukkah and, even if you don't celebrate either holiday in your own home, chances are you're going to get roped in to some weird office-wide gift exchange that leaves you scrambling to figure out what that one guy who always wears fedoras (Matt? Or maybe Ryan?) could possibly have on his wishlist this year. There's no need to pay full price for a present for someone you've spoken to about two times total, and that's where Black Friday comes in handy.
From makeup to fashion to just about everything in between, here's a constantly-growing list of the best Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals around. Check back for more as the big days get closer.
