Every year Black Friday is starting sooner and sooner; at first it was just the Friday after Thanksgiving, then it was Thanksgiving night, then it was the entire week before and now it seems like the sales started on November 1st, or even before Halloween this year.

However, if you're a savvy shopper you know that sometimes the deals are better on actual Black Friday than before, but I think this year might be the exception because Thanksgiving is so late. The shopping season is cut off by at least a week since Black Friday is November 29th, so most retailers Black Friday sales started last week.

In addition to sales getting earlier and earlier, they've also gotten smaller; the percentage off is not as strong as they have been in the past but if you know the retailer to look at, you might find some gems.

I wanted to round up some of the sales I'm going to be shopping, mostly for gifts, but maybe for one or two items for myself. 

I'll update this post throughout the week with more deals as they come out but wanted to get some picks out there before the shopping really picked up! 

Tis the shopping season! It seems like Black Friday has been going on for over a month but we've made it to the big day. Black Friday gets earlier and earlier every year but I hardly shop the early sales. I never fully trust the retailer's pre-Thanksgiving sales and like to wait until I see the final Black Friday sale prices, that way I know I'm getting the best deal.

The key to find out if the early sales are the real Black Friday sales is to read the fine print of the offer. It'll tell you when the promotion ends so it's very clear if a new one will come on Black Friday aka November 23rd this year. 

I spent most of the weekend scouring the internet for the sales I'll be shopping, and the sales from retailers/brands I love...all to live in this post & be updated throughout the next two weeks while retailers continue to update their promotions.

The biggest shopping week of the year has arrived and it's also one of the most overwhelming times to be an avid online shopper. My email inbox and Instagram feed is filled to the brim with promotions, sales, and gifts with purchase from my favorite brands and retailers, as well as some brands I don't even like! 

Sales started earlier than ever this year, some appearing during the first week of November to get ahead of the supply chain issues and to maximize earnings.

I've already been shopping up a storm and it's honestly not good. I have spent more money in the past few weeks than I have in a long time but my, this time of year always gets me! I also figured that instead of waiting until actual Black Friday to post my sale report, I would post now so you can start shopping! 

Most retailers are calling out if this is their true Black Friday sale or if something better will come along in a few days but I think it's safe to say, we have officially transitioned to Cyber Week as the week before Thanksgiving vs just a few days of good deals. 

Let's get into it, shall we? I'm only sharing the sales that I would shop for myself!

I have to admit, I have nothing I want to buy on Black Friday. I know, it's very shocking. I just don't need anything and I haven't really thought about what I want. Usually, I'm making Black Friday lists on November 1st but this year, I guess it's like with anything this year, it just doesn't feel right. 

Even though I say this now, a few days before Black Friday, I'm sure I will buy at least *one* thing. And just because I might not be shopping doesn't mean I can't share the best deals around! I've done these posts over the years but unlike other bloggers, I usually share the sales I'm going to be shopping or sales I think are really worth it. 

It's very easy to feel overwhelmed by all the sales that happen on Friday and over the years, the shopping week starts earlier and earlier. That's why I want to make this as simple as possible and focus on good deals and retailers that I really love. I also will include a section for small businesses that I've seen are doing sales.

Either way, Black Friday is no longer the only big shopping day but it is still fun to sit at home, curl up on the couch with Christmas movies and shop your heart out!
