black friday deals/tips.....

few things...

I'm crazy about black friday.

I'm EVEN MORE crazy about cyber monday.

If you are too... here are some deals for you --

1. Follow @amazondeals on twitter to get real time updates of their "Gold Box Deals" - these are AMAZING!
2. If you're a student you can receive a year FREE of amazon prime (NO CATCH) - seriously, click here, I'm so pissed I don't have an @edu email anymore to take advantage of this, please take advantage for me if you do have one!
3. If you're a mom (or primary caregiver), you can receive UP TO a year free of amazon prime (three months and then a month for every $25 you spend on "baby/children" supplies from amazon.
4. www.black-friday.net - you're welcome.
5. Last, but certainly not least - if you have an iPhone, download the "TGI Black Friday" app - it's free, you're welcome again. Even if you don't have an iPhone, you can still look at the ads on the site so definitely go there!

Also, if there's a store you know you want to hit up or that you're definitely shopping at visit their webpage, a few seem to have a form where you can signup to receive their black/friday cyber monday deals (target, bath & body works for sure). 

I think we're doing "berkshire" themed local gifts for the immediate family that is coming up to visit so I feel good about that... but I don't know, I can't lie -I love a good deal so I'm definitely feeding the corporate greed this year too. When you're on a budget, you have to do what you have to do!

Lastly, just for fun....
