Black Friday Sales

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Duke chapter.

Thanksgiving break is not only a great way to spend time with family and friends, but also is also a fabulous time to create that new fall wardrobe you’ve been waiting for. The best part about it is that you can find most things on sale! Ever heard of Black Friday?
 
Turkey Day is over and now it’s time to shop: Black Friday is the day after Thanksgiving and it’s a day dedicated for shoppers to find discounts on pretty much everything! It’s a great time to buy gifts for the approaching holiday season, or just to pick out early presents for you!
 
For those of you who have missed out on the craziness of Black Friday, here are the two most important things you need to know: when and where.
 
Express:
Opens at 6a.m. and offers great deals on clothing for both men and women. This is a great place to look for winter coats and dresses for fun nights out!

 
Target:
Opens at midnight after Thanksgiving and offers great deals on pretty much everything! DVDs are great for those cold winter nights when Perkins just seems too far away. Check out these DVDs for only $1.99!
 

Bath & Body Works:
Great savings on packages of your favorite lotions and perfumes! Their sets make a nice gift for the upcoming holiday season. With a huge selection of smells, there’s something for everyone! 

But, if waking up for 2a.m. deals isn’t your style, there are plenty of stores that have deals online too. After all, Black Friday is a day for those truly dedicated to snagging those deals.
 
And remember to stay safe! Because some people get a little too aggressive when they see that glowing red four-letter word: s-a-l-e.
 
And if you’re still craving for more information, Black Friday even has it’s own Wikipedia page to check out!
