Happy Thanksgiving! I hope your day is filled with great food, great family, and great fun! Today is all about relaxing (and wearing elastic pants) so feel free to sleep off your food coma in time for all of the amazing Black Friday sales. A lot of them start tonight, but many last through Saturday so no need to brave the Friday morning crowds. I've rounded up a handful of sales so check them out and get saving!
Ok, so for those of you who may not know, I'm kind of beyond obsessed with Rebecca Minkoff. Every single one of my purses may or may not be from her, with most of them coming from a previous NYC sample sale over the summer (it was dangerous…) So when I heard that she's having another sample sale, and one online, I knew I had to check it out.
For those of you in the city, her sale is going on until November 22 at 260 5th Ave from 10am-8pm Thursday and Friday, and 10am-5pm on Saturday with styles up to 70% off - trust me you don't want to miss it.
As hard as it is to believe, it's almost time for the madness that is holiday shopping. Personally, I find the crowds of Black Friday to be way more trouble than the savings are worth and I prefer to shop the remnants of the sales on Saturday or wait until Cyber Monday (you really can't beat shopping in your pjs).
For those of you who are also big on online shopping I want to share one of my favorite tools for saving even more money online! I learned about Ebates a few years ago and I've been using it ever since. Basically, Ebates is a website that you join and it offers you cash back ranging from 1-10% (usually) on your online purchases! It's so easy to use, you simply sign up for free, search the store you are looking to shop at, say Bloomingdale's, and it takes you to their page where you hit "Shop Now". You're then brought to the Bloomingdale's home page where you just make your purchase as usual. Ebates then tracks the purchase, applies the given percentage, and notifies you of your savings! They then send you a check of your savings every three months. It seriously couldn't be easier.
