The leaves are changing, the wind is blowing, and it’s time for jeans and sweaters. After the days of sweltering in 100+% weather it’s finally time to enjoy being outside! And for me at least, I feel like I can finally breathe. Flowers may bloom in the Spring but I seem to come alive. I don’t know why that is? It’s also the time for Holiday shopping and sales galore! Between Amazon Prime Days, Black Friday, and the plethora of other events purposely planned in a three to four month period this season is also the worst time to go into pretty much any store. And no matter how prepared I think I am, I always forget something! So this year I thought I’d think ahead and at least make note of some interesting sales or big sales days that may be cleaning out my wallet this year.
Shopping For….everyone
1. Amazon
Whether it’s a Prime Day or Black Friday, Amazon always seems to be on everybody’s radar this time of the year. Seeing that they tend to have better deals on Black Friday than on Prime Days (and even better on Cyber Monday) whether it’s electronic gadgets, clothing, pet supplies, toys, or home decor, Amazon has an inventory of approximately 12 million items across all categories and services. If you add Marketplace sellers as well then the number is actually closer to 350 million products. With that many items, the odds are pretty good that you can find something that someone on your shopping list will like.
