Ladies, it’s that time of year again: to shop till we drop, splurge on luxury products we wouldn’t dare buy at full price, and fill our carts to our heart’s desire, all in the name of a good deal. Because it’s Black Friday, baby, and we’ve got some of the best Black Friday deals for you!
New to Black Friday? It’s the day right after Thanksgiving (last Friday of November) when almost every store and brand you love hosts epic sales and pre-sales (days or weeks leading up to Black Friday) not just for their last-season products, but for new and popular items that people can’t wait to snatch up. Think gadgets, makeup, shoes, furniture, appliances, even groceries! It’s the second most wonderful time of the year, and is a great way to get your Christmas shopping done early if you’re not just trying to score discounts for your own wishlist.
Here are all the best Black Friday deals for health and wellness products, as well as some goodies in beauty, tech, and fashion! Read on, savvy shoppers!
Best Health & Wellness Deals
The Vitamin Shoppe
Need to re-up your vitamins and supplements? The Vitamin Shoppe will be hosting a Black Friday sale on November 29, but you can already shop deals now for up to 50% off! Stock up on all your favorite products using coupons!
Dermstore
Skincare has become one of the most notoriously lucrative industries in the past five years, with every beauty influencer touting their 12-step skincare routine, allowing brands to hike up their prices (sadly). It is no question, skincare is expensive, but if you are looking to stock up on hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, vitamin C, or this highly coveted Peter Thomas Roth peptide moisturizer, then Dermstore has you covered this Black Friday!
WalkingPad
Trying to find an easy way to get some exercise while working from home? It never hurts to burn some calories while answering emails, and that’s why the WalkingPad has become so popular. You can literally put it under your desk, designed for you to get your steps in while still being active on Teams and Slack. The WalkingPad has many dupes, but trust us, this is the OG and its early discount is $200 off! (You can also run on it, btw, and it folds!)
Plan To Eat
There’s not enough time in the day to plan meals, find recipes, and get an organized grocery list going–we know. That’s why apps like Plan To Eat do the work for you. Is it a subscription? Yes. Is it worth it? Yes–if your goal is to start eating healthier and to eliminate the stress of figuring out what ingredients you need to buy. While there are many meal-kit subscriptions like Hello Fresh or ready-to-eat meals like Factor that bring food to your door, this is an option for those who still want the freedom to choose meals and shop on their own, and for 50% off, that’s a good deal for some good meals.
Oura Ring
A fairly new product in the health technology sector, the Oura Ring has been gaining a lot of popularity after celebrities like Gwyneth Paltrow and Jennifer Aniston were seen sporting them. What is it? A titanium ring you wear designed to improve your sleep, track your stress, oxygen levels, heart rate, and fitness goals. Yes, it sounds like an Apple Watch or every other iteration of the gadget out there that does all of the above, but the beauty of the Oura Ring is that it’s lightweight and long-lasting. The brand says: “Oura Ring is the first wearable designed to paint a truly holistic picture of your health. If that sounds good, then brace yourself for up to $100 of these come November 29!
Best Black Friday Beauty Deals
Sephora
It goes without saying that when you hear “makeup” you automatically think “Sephora.” And for good reason. Sephora does Black Friday deals like no other makeup and skincare retailer. So if you’re looking for discounts on Fenty Beauty, Rare Beauty, Kosas, Milk Makeup, Haus Labs, or Glossier, you’ll be sure to find them on Sephora.com. You’ll get even earlier and exclusive deals on their app!
Ulta Beauty
They may reign second to Sephora, but Ulta Beauty has got range. This Black Friday, they’re hosting early sales up to 40% with select items and brands going on sale every week leading up to November 29, so make sure you check their site! $15 for Tula cleanser? Deal.
Macy’s
The retailer that started Black Friday. Yes, you should look into the history of Black Friday, it’s really quite interesting. Macy’s, although it has fought for its right to continue as a brick and mortar, knows that the game nowadays is all about online shopping. They’ve rounded up their top beauty picks for sale from products like Kiehls, Lancome, Estee Lauder, and Clinique. Not for you? They’ve got amazing gift sets for the family!
Amazon
Yes, you can get practically anything on Amazon, but you’d be surprised at how many beauty products get slashed in half on Black Friday. Those Mighty Patches that you’ve been seeing all over TikTok? On Sale. Maybelline Longwear Liquid Lip Color – yes, the one they spoofed on SNL with Ariana Grande doing an impeccable impression of Jennifer Coolidge? On Sale. So make sure you prowl Amazon for some of the best beauty deals (mostly drugstore makeup, if that’s your thing) come Black Friday!
Best Fashion Deals
Nordstrom
As per usz, Nordstrom’s pre-Black Friday sales outdo pretty much every other fashion retailer, with discounts of up to 50% off on brands that if not for Black Friday, might not make it to your wardrobe, like Free People, Good American, Tory Burch, and Birkenstock. Like these trendy Birkenstock sandals that are a whopping half-off—from $160 to $80!
Get ready for the winter season with coats, sweaters, the cutest scarfs, hats, and mittens, all for a really great price with J. Crew. (You know it’s the best brand to shop Christmas gifts for, too, if you’re planning on gifting hubby or boyfriend with some really nice new polo t-shirts and blazers.) They have continuous sales all-year long, but this Black Friday, you can take 30% off sale AND full-price items with code: SALETIME.
They’re a splurge, we know. But if you want to stock up on athleisure that’s good quality and perfect for all-year round seasons, then now is the time to be the Lululemon girl. Leggings, sports bras, cycling shorts, that super cute tennis (pickleball?) skort you spotted Taylor Swift wearing in her I Can Do It With A Broken Heart music video–definitely, a lookalike is available and on sale this Black Friday!
Gap
Oh, The Gap. Timeless as it is, no other brand does sales like good ol’ Gap (and its sister, cheaper brand, Old Navy–worth a looksie, too!). Gap is way ahead of everyone in that the entire site is 50% off right now, and if you need (or just want) that classic, black, knee-length puffer coat that never goes out of style, now is the time to score it.
Anthropologie
The store that you just love to peruse because of all its wonderful scents and marvelous layout, making you want to buy everything, even $40 candles, is hosting an amazing online-only sale this Black Friday with 30% off––yes!––dresses and winter wear, but also––hold your breath––furniture, bedding, decor, and more! So if you wanted to live out your dream of being a housewife from The O.C., Anthropologie can make it happen.
Other Black Friday Deals You Might Like
Apple
It’s not enough that they get us every year with an upgrade of pretty much the **same** phone, but if you’re an Apple diehard, Black Friday is the holiday you look forward to the most. As in previous years, November 29 through Dec 2 (Cyber Monday), will be the weekend to score AirPods, iPads, and MacBooks, for as low as $89 from trusted retailers like Walmart, Amazon, and Best Buy! (All deals and corresponding stores linked over items.)
Ninja
The highly-coveted airfryer from kitchen tech titan, Ninja, is now only $129.99 from its usual $249.99 (almost 50% off!). The Ninja Foodi––gotta appreciate the naming conventions of this brand––features a large dual-basket air fryer that can quickly prepare multiple foods simultaneously and has six versatile cooking programs. If you’ve already got one, then snag one more for a Christmas gift because anyone who receives one of these, is sure to become your best friend.
iRobot Roomba
For all the moms out there who could use a little help around the house, Black Friday is here to save the day with a great deal for the vacuum AND mop iRobot Roomba. Because let’s face it, what we really need robots for is house chores. Usually priced at $274.99 on any other day, you can get this gem for $159.99 on Amazon!
Target
Oh yes, it would not be a complete Black Friday deals list without our beloved Target. Although the brick and mortar Targets provide the ultimate shopping experience, you can start snagging deals on Thursday, 11/28 (you know, once you’re stuffed and ready to doom scroll on the couch), for kitchen appliances up to 30% off, 50% off on TOYS (what better day to get all the kids’ Christmas gifts done?!), plus furniture and home decor! You know you’ve been wanting to finally hit “purchase” on all those Joanna Gaines and Threshold items that have been idle in your cart. Well, now’s your chance to do just that!
P.S. In competition with the Ninja air fryer mentioned above, Cuisinart’s stainless steel version is 57% off at just $99.99. So many choices, so little time.
Walmart
They may not be as fancy as Target, but when it comes to scoring the best deals ever on Black Friday, you can never go wrong with Walmart. They are America’s #1 store for everything for a reason. If it’s a new TV, vacuum, coffee maker, gadgets, or toys that you’re looking for crazy sales on, look no further. The Blue has got you covered. Got a TV, but it’s not 4K? Then you’re not living. You might want to check out this Vizio 65-inch, or this LG 74-inch, perfect for football season and 4K movies. Take $100 off this Shark Navigator vacuum or this Dyson V8 Cordless vacuum.
Happy Shopping!
Regardless of what you’re trying to get a fabulous deal on: clothing, beauty, health & wellness, furniture, decor, appliances, or gadgets, Black Friday is the epitome of sales, and every brand and retailer in its right mind is going to take advantage of this time, so you might as well take advantage of them, too. Get those tabs ready on all your favorite sites, and know that things will sell out quickly, so make a priority list!
Be sure to look for extra discounts and coupons in the form of codes and checks (Amazon discreetly adds these coupons under the item, but once checked, you’ll see it applied during checkout). Also, be mindful that while it’s fun to indulge in shopping, it’s good to create a budget beforehand because financial health is important, and as one boss lady said: Money looks better in your bank account than it does on your feet. But of course, if those shoes are 50% off and you already had the money set aside, get ‘em girl! Happy shopping!
