Is Black Friday Shopping Worth It?

To many people Black Friday shopping is the ultimate time of the year to shop for Christmas presents and gifts for loved ones and friends, but is it worth the crowds and standing in line?  Are store prices really that great? Black Friday shopping can be worth the aggravation depending on what you're looking for and needing to purchase for the holidays. Without even looking at store circulars or blogs on sales, you should first plan out what items you would want to give as gifts, plan a budget, and any items that you might need for your household. After you make a plan, start reading reviews online on particular items and looking at price comparisons online. It's important to know what  reasonable price points are for the items you want to buy. Your next step is to look at Black Friday circulars (can be found online via blogs and other website) and see if any of those items are listed at a phenomenal price that fits within your budget. Sometimes, you will find that nothing you intend to buy is even on sale on Black Friday. You might also want to consider, if you can get that item cheaper online using ebates and/or promo codes. Some stores will even match other online retailers and allow you to use promo codes and/or ebates on top or your order. If you make a plan ahead of time, this will prevent you from wasting your time on shopping resources that might not be relevant to you and your needs.

Tips for Shopping Boden

Boden has quickly become one of my favorite stores. Their clothes are high quality with a modern classic style. They also have some modest options available. I love how their clothes fit and look great. Here are some tips for shopping Boden:

1. Use Ebates: Through ebates, you can get a percentage back on all purchases with Boden. This is a great way to save money!

2. Refer a Friend: Boden has a refer a friend program where a friend can get 15% off their first order and Boden will e-mail you a $15 voucher. Click here for more details.

3. Sign up for their Enewsletter: Boden sends sale announcements and occasionally a gift voucher in their Enewsletters.  This year, Boden sent me a $15 voucher for my Birthday and one for being a customer for a year! Click here to sign up.

4. Follow Boden on Social Media: Boden often announces when their new seasonal clothes come out, host giveaways, provides styling ideas on their social media channels (twitter, facebook, pintrest).

5. Don't Wait: If there's something that you really like on the Boden website, don't wait too long to order it! Boden is quickly becoming well known in the United States and if an item is popular, they run out of stock of it quickly!

Target Helped Me Save Money!

I love Target. Target really understands customer service and going above and beyond to help customers get the best price. I emailed Target Customer Service to see if they would price match a toy with something on Amazon. I bought the item and they refunded me back the difference. I also got the toy cheaper than I would have on Amazon since they allowed me to stack a 25% off coupon code on top of the cheaper price. I love that Target has my back and helped me to save money!
