Episode 23: Are Black Friday Deals Even Worth it?

In this solo episode, I get into my opinions about Black Friday Deals. I also share about my favorite gift, interesting ways to save on your shopping, and how to create a thoughtful gift for your loved ones this holiday. Tips: - Replace old items that you use regularly ( bedding, cookware, towels, clothing, shoes, etc.) - Upgrade items that no longer function well to meet your needs (consider the ROI) - Gift ( look at items that can be gifted that fall within your budget) - Set a dollar limit per person - Avoid overspending on your credit card - Utilize credit card rewards for gift cards - Avoid spending money on gifts that are low-quality and lack helpful features - Research reviews before you purchase gifts for yourself or family - Avoid purchasing items with bonus items that aren't useful - If you're creative consider making a gift - Get gifts that match the personality of your friends and family Black Deal Friday Deals as of 11/29/19 I love I may receive a small commission from any purchases if you click through the links at no additional cost to you.
