Since I made a big change on my site last January, I’ve not focused on the Holiday Deals and Black Friday stuff as much as I used to. My site has turned into a more holistic and healthy approach to saving money. However, just like you all…I’m watching all the bargains this week and through the Holidays so that I can save the most money as possible on my purchases this year.

Recently I wrote a post on Savings.com called “The 4 best days to shop this holiday season.” I’d like to follow that post up here on my site with the 4 best places to shop. I know you’re dying to know what the top deals will be this year, so here we go…

1. Amazon.com

Amazon gets a big thumbs up from me, ’cause they seriously know how to werk it when it comes to offering consumers amazing bargains. Plus, the deals have already started! They have what they call “Black Friday Deals Week,” and offer amazing bargains all week long and through Cyber Monday.

2. Kohl’s 

Kohl’s just rocks my socks off every year! Not only can I get $15 Kohl’s Cash for every $50 spent, but I can combine that with rebates, cash back AND coupon codes. If there’s a guaranteed place that I will shop on Black Friday, it’s Kohls.com. Every once in a while I might decide to hit the store itself, but if the deals are available online, why wouldn’t I shop online? ‘Cause seriously, that cash back just makes it all the better! Tip: Get your Thanksgiving Day local paper…there just might be a $10 off coupon in it for Kohl’s (there was last year in my AJC).

3. Toys R’ Us

If you don’t have kids to shop for, then you can ignore this one. Otherwise, the deals are seriously amazing at Toys R’ Us. The fabulous part being that you don’t have to join the masses and stand in line, because Toys R’ Us will be offering their deals online, too. Use your ShopRunner account to get free shipping on your items, too (no minimum!). I usually grab the deals on videos and family games, because this is the best time to get those types of things for the entire year! Family Game Night has never been so good!

4. Target

Whether you’re looking for electronics, movies, or tees, Target has some really great deals on Black Friday. And just like with the other stores, you can grab the bargains online as well at Target.com. Target is also offering online daily deals all week long prior to Black Friday, so be sure to keep them on your radar. One other thing to note: Target does price-match Black Friday deals, so enjoy doing all your shopping in one place!

Honorable Mention: The Home Depot

On Black Friday, The Home Depot always has their beautiful 6ft trees on sale for $19.99, and the poinsettias for .99. Even if you are the type to completely avoid all things Black Friday, these are deals you should make plans to get!
