The Most Surprising Place to Shop on Black Friday

Black Friday has turned into a day that really divides people. Some people LOVE the shopping and the deals and some people HATE the fact that the US has become so commericially oriented on a typically family centered holiday. I’m somewhere in between. I love the family parts of Thanksgiving, but I also love a deal. I’m torn. But anyways, I’m here to tell you about the best place to shop on Black Friday….and it’s NOT Best Buy OR Amazon.

The Most Surprising Place to Shop on Black Friday

This year (and the year before when I was 8 months pregnant), I went to Kohl’s for Black Friday sales on Thanksgiving night. I don’t live in the same state as any family members, so I’m free to leave the kids at home with my husband and shop.

I picked Kohl’s because I didn’t want to wait in line for hours before the store opened. The ad had some good deals – not great but good. I was out of the store after about an hour in line. I don’t know why I didn’t learn my lesson last year. No more Kohl’s Thanksgiving night sales for me!

On the other hand, Rite Aid has their Black Friday sales all day on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. Wow! I planned my Black Friday purchases at Rite Aid very carefully, keeping in mind all the +Ups I would earn and coupons I would use. By planning ahead I could try to spread out my purchases over the three days to maximize the savings and minimize the out of pocket expense.

This year, I got a Home Depot $50 gift card for $40, 4 bottles of lotion for $2, a free CFL light bulb, 2 free containers of chips, and free pantiliners. There were other free items that would have been great for donations. And the best part – no waiting in line. Ok, there was one person in line ahead of me, but my wait was less than 5 minutes. Definitely not the same as my experience at Kohl’s.

The best products for you and your baby.

Baby monitor

With a baby monitor, you can use your time flexibly, sleep peacefully at night and still know at all times that your baby is doing well.

Nursing pillow

A good breastfeeding pillow has several advantages, because it helps you not only to breastfeed, but also to fall asleep and is also suitable as a nest.

Diaper bags

A diaper bag offers you a lot of storage space, so that you have everything you need for your baby on the go - from the changing pad to the bottle.

Pucksack

A pucksack gives your baby the feeling of security, like in the womb, and thus supports a peaceful and restful sleep.

Bicycle trailer

Bicycle trailers can be used in combination with a baby seat shortly after birth. They are not only safer than child seats but also more comfortable.

Playpen

A playpen can be very practical in everyday life! Which model is suitable for your needs, you can read in my guide.

Baby bed

The first bed accompanies your child for years. Fortunately, there are beds that grow with your child. I have made for you on the search for the best baby beds.

Stroller

A stroller is a worthwhile purchase. But there are the most diverse models on the market. Find out which is the right one.

Radiant heater

Radiant heaters provide your child with the necessary warmth when changing diapers or after bathing.

Extra bed

Side beds are very practical and offer both mother and baby a lot of advantages, because for babies, especially in the first months of life, it is reassuring to be able to sleep next to their parents.
