Thank you Walmart for sponsoring this post.

Y'all have to check out the Black Friday Deals at Walmart! So many of their best sellers are on deal and the discounts are steep. If you have a hostess to buy for (or if you are the hostess), there are some great buys worth snagging. That said, every category has amazing deals so definitely take the time to peruse it for yourself. The deals end on 11/17 so don't wait- Oh and you can get 50% off a Walmart+ membership this week as well. We use ours constantly to save on grocery delivery, shipping, and even gas. Highly recommend! Here are some of the deals I snagged and a few more I wanted to share with you. What are you shopping for?

I've blogged about Banner's headbands before.  They are well made and simply adorable.  Turns out they are launching an awesome new site (No, I haven't seen it--I'm just assuming it's gonna be awesome) and in preparation (or celebration?) they are having a 40% off sale on some of their best sellers.  Although I love their stuff, I'm also a cheapskate er, I mean frugal (does that even sound any better?), so I only have one headband from them.  Until now.  I have like 10 in my etsy cart but I'm sure by the end of the checkout process I'll have whittled it down to two.  okay, maybe three.  This sale is just in time as I try to figure out how to dress new baby for her newborn photo shoot.  (cocoon? knit "bowl?" cheesecloth? knit diaper cover and beanie? ruffle butt bloomers? Petit lace romper?  Oy. So many possibilities!!!)  In any case, these are super cute, fit newborns through adults, and make great gifts (new baby is due any day now, hint, hint). ;)  Check out their blog with all the details here.  Oh and please let me know if you have an opinion or source for what to don new baby in for her first pictures!

So I successfully avoided Gymboree this weekend for fear of going crazy and spending tons of money on oh so cute dresses that miss Genevieve would only wear once or twice. But I visited the site this morning "just to see what they have" and somehow could justify my purchases--it went something like this...

Head over to Walgreens and redeem their deal of the day-- a FREE 8*10 collage print. It doesn't get any cheaper than FREE!! HURRY-- offer ends today!

Hit up Bloomingdales for their "friends and family" sale!  Now's the time to get those designer jeans, Uggs, or Juicy suit you've been lusting for! 

The bright side of this abysmal economy (how long have I been unemployed again?!) is the amazing deals retailers are willing to give us to win over our dollars. Creative deals, sales, and clearance events abound. Take Target for example. Today only they are having a black Friday sale. "But Tiffany, isn't black Friday in November?" you ask. Why yes, you are correct. However times must be tough at the Red retail giant because this year black Friday is in July. Click here for awesome online deals, today only!

Happy shopping!
