Okay girls, we all know what EVERYBODY is doing today…finding BF deals!
What kinds of fantastic savings are you finding that you need to share with your sisters here on CDH? Must haves? Half-off items? Spill ladies🥰
I'm not leaving the house! You won't find me out in that madness, and, apparently, Amazon workers are going on strike! 😆
Oh, I should have clarified…I’m definitely not leaving the house either. Online is my jam Michaela. Haven’t paid attention about the Amazon strike but I’m pretty sure whatever I order will find it’s way to my house.
First of all, the whole month of November has been turned into a Black Friday sale by retailers here, including Cyber Mondays a few days later.
Near me, there is a street that has a collection of clearance stores, not just for clothes, mostly for some big brands, but there are thrift stores, a dollar store, or just plain cheap imports, etc. This area is a godsend for saving me good money on expensive items, including clothes!
Put those two ideas together and let your imagination run.
So, yesterday, I was in a new Roots clearance store and they had their ongoing Black Friday sale of 30% off of their clearance pricing for most items. That's a good deal any day, Black Friday or not.
On one rack there were only two bright red and white Merino wool women's sweaters. They were part of their 50th Anniversary retro collection. They were also part of this huge sizing trend, too. One was a large but too large, so I got the medium. A perfect fit without looking silly. There is no way that these two sweaters would still be around one more day. A $200 sweater that I can wear for the rest of my life for $80, tax included.
Oh, and to add, the bright red colour matched the bright red nail polish that I was wearing this week and I registered my en femme name with them using my en femme e-mail, and used a new credit card with it, too. I am starting to like this shopping thing.
I have no idea what GW or SA are, but do they sell the Roots 50th Anniversary Collection Merino wool sweaters there? 🤓
Doh! Goodwill and Sally Ann. Got it. Shows you how often that I go there.
I'm buying nothing for Black Friday (yes, it has infected the UK, even though we don't have Thanksgiving). I bought a Ninja 12-in-1 Combi oven and Russel Hobbs microwave about six weeks ago—the Ninja was from Amazon, the microwave oven was from Argos (a UK store, not the US concrete company) and was the same price as Amazon at that time. On the day of my purchases, the combi was £185 and the microwave was £70. On that same day, I put both items into my watchlist on Amazon and saw that within a week (some four weeks before Black Friday Week) the microwave had gone up to £94 and the combi oven to £229. The microwave dropped to £74 for BF, the combi oven is still £229.
Just goes to show that BF sales aren't worth the effort of checking out; in fact, a Which (consumer magazine) survey in the UK reported that 98% of items for sale on Black Friday were at a lower price at some point within the previous year (I believe they took inflation into account). We can safely assume that it's all a big con and the best time to buy something is when you want it rather than wait for some mythical cost-saving festival...or perhaps I'm just a cynic.

Shein And torrid got a lot of good sales going on
I've bought 2 jumpsuits, a satin gown and robe off shein. then a women's one piece swimsuit off amazon.
Looking to see if my budget will allow for a new video card for my rig.
I’ve never bought directly off the Shein website but I sure have seen a lot of their stuff at Goodwill. I always figure it’s probably a donation from one of my sisters on here😊
Well Grace, i did find two Amazon deals.. (no in store shopping for this girl on Black Friday.. yike!) I use Lancome Teint ultra wear foundation, $20 off right now, it is my most expensive single makeup item and was coming up to needing to replace it. Normally get it at Ulta.
Also could not resist the price on a portable lighted makeup mirror.. always wanted one for those hotel room bathrooms with marginal lighting. 50% off (wanted the pink one but it was $8 more so settled for white, Lol)

Hi Grace, I just got back from buying 2 pairs of leather gloves and 5 gallons of hydraulic fluid (big sales but not romantic). I'm waiting for Cyber Monday for the rest of the toys and then onto the thrift stores. So I did my part for the economy but nothing gorgeous was purchased. It was all just utilitarian. Happy Sales, Marg
I have been on a faux leather kick lately, Bare Necessities online has the Parfait Stevie Longline strapless bustier on clearance for under $22 , with a new customer email signup you can score it for $14 with free shipping.
(Edited to remove link: Ellie).
I got nothing, nada, and zilch all for an unbelievable price!
I was going to get zed and zero, but decided I didn't need any.
🤣
I am with Becca as Black Friday deals are often not the bargains they appear to be.
I didn't think about it being that day and visited my local town to get some things I needed. I wondered why it was so busy! I did have a look at a couple of clothes shops boasting 50% off and so on and actually I had been in one of the stores a couple of weeks ago and they had a 30% off sale and bought a dress which was on offer today. It wasn't any cheaper, so they upped the R.R.P. to M.R.P.
Any how I have all I need and more when it comes to clothes!
I've just picked up a fabulous pair of platform heels for £20. They are gorgeous but will make me rather tall.
