Black Friday and Cyber Monday look very different this year! Some deals have been available for weeks, while some of the really good ones are being held for those days specifically. It makes it a little harder to get the best price, but a lot of sites are offering price matching through the end of the year. Know what you’re looking for and how much you’re willing to pay.
You may also find that while sites are offering deals now, there are additional discounts on Black Friday or Cyber Monday. Some are already active. It’s a complicated sale landscape this year! Here are some bonus coupon codes:
This is also the first year where you likely won’t have to go to a store to get the deal you’re looking for. So stay home, stay safe, and click your way to the savings.
Here’s a roundup of my favorite things you might be looking for and whether to grab it when you see it or look for discounts. I’ll keep updating this as things change throughout the week and on Black Friday itself. Check back on Sunday for a Cyber Monday roundup. Is there something specific you’re looking for a deal on? Tweet @suehle, and I’ll do my best to help.
Note that coupons can almost never be applied to Lego sets.
After a slow launch for Mando merch, just about every store, including ones you wouldn’t think to look to, have Mandalorian-branded goods. So if you’re looking to add a few more dollars to an order for free shipping, can’t hurt to search any site for “The Child” or “Baby Yoda” if the little green guy is popular in your house. Here are a few suggestions:
Before you buy one of these, be sure to research exactly what features you do and don’t want. In Cricut machines, the Explore Air 2 is the most common on sale this year, generally for $179 (such as at Michael’s). JoAnn will have the Cricut Maker, a great machine for cosplayers and people cutting thicker materials, for $299, which is the lowest I’ve ever seen it. The Silhouette Cameo 4 is on sale at Michael’s for $269.99. This week I’ve been telling you about the Brother ScanNCut machines. I haven’t found any sale deals for them, but if the features suit your needs, they’re worth considering.
Note that Cricut and Silhouette branded items are generally excluded from coupons. Sales on these items aren’t as rare as they used to be, but this is a good time of year to buy them. You’ll find 40% off Cricut rolls, tools, and accessories right now at JoAnn, but it will be 50% off, including Infusible Ink, on Friday.
Usually, I cover all of this for you. This year, I’m going to skip it with the exception of video games (above). The deals are pretty easy to find, and there are 100 other lists if you’re looking for something specific. TVs in particular have gotten super cheap. I recommend looking at a model on rtings.com to see if it’s going to meet the needs of your setup.
We all have our preferences in makeup, but these are a few of my favorites that rarely go on sale except Black Friday weekend.
