Black Friday brings the most notable November sales, and they go on ALL month long.

It’s true what they say: holiday sales get earlier and earlier every year, and in case you missed it on our site, early Black Friday deals already started in October! 😱 Despite Black Friday being on Friday, November 28th, the earlier deals mean you can get busy checking off all of your holiday lists well before the holidays. 🙌🏼

It was already announced that Walmart Black Friday deals will start on November 14th, and Sam’s Club doorbusters start on November 7th! 😱

Last year in November, we saw a plethora of deals available to shoppers from local grocery stores to online meal delivery services for free or significantly discounted turkeys with purchase. However, chances are you need to buy food from the grocery store anyway, so the discount were a free turkey will seem like a bonus!

Among all of the things that go on clearance, like electronics, toys, small home appliances, and more, clothing is another item you don’t want to look past.

Shop for November’s seasonal produce to score the best prices during your market trips.

When you shop seasonally, you’re likely to get the best prices on produce. Especially if you’re shopping at your local farmer’s market. This time of year, farmers’ markets are starting to more sparser as the year comes to an end, but there’s still plenty of goodies to grab for your weekly meal planning!
