Me, I like Black Friday shopping. We live in an urban metropolis so I have my pick of stores that are conveniently located. This year I'm planning to check out JC Penney's during my Black Friday shopping and this is because, I'm a fan of Tracee Ellis Ross and she has a new holiday collection.
To be the first to see the JC Penney's ad, as well as Target, Kohl's and Menards (that's one is for the Hubs) I subscribe to BF Ads they are reliable source for all the leaked ads!
A great way to double down on your savings this holiday season is to use apps that give you cash back on purchases now and then use the cash back or gift cards when Black Friday arrives.
Now many stores have rewards programs themselves so make sure you have the Target Cartwheel app, the Kohls Yes to You Rewards , and the Kmart/Sears Shop Your Way . These are all super handy because you don't need to have a store credit card to get the rewards. Also all of these stores have ship to store pick up so you can shop online and go pick up your order to avoid shipping charges.
The best way to earn cash back is to get yourself an Ebates account. You sign up and when you are ready to shop go to Ebates, type in the store name and shop. When you are done shopping cash is rebated to you and put in your Ebates account. Then they send you a check when you request it. This way you get all the deals of the store reward program plus you earn cash back!
For grocery shopping, I use the Ibotta App. You click on what grocery store you are going to and then you click on the various rebates they have available. You do your shopping and then you scan your receipt and Ibotta adds rebates to your account. When you rack up $20 in rebates, which is not too hard to do, then you can tranfer the money to apps like PayPal or redeem for gift cards! You also earn bonuses for various purchases and for referrals. My referral link is here.
Holidays are almost here and it's always a good time to save money! I hope these tips are useful!
xoxo
