Thanksgiving week has college students not only gearing up to stuff ourselves with delicious homemade food (stretchy waistbands, I’ve missed you), but also preparing for the biggest sales of the year: Black Friday. Whether you’re hoping to buy Christmas presents or you’re just trying to treat yourself this holiday, many stores have already started their extremely good deals. If you’re trying to stay frugal this Black Friday but still need to make it out with a new sweater or two, browse these stores for your new favorite (and cheap!) piece.
1. Victoria’s Secret
The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show has all simultaneously wishing we were angels and/or best friends with Bella Hadid and Barbara Palvin. If you want to feel like them this season, Victoria’s Secret is currently offering a pajama deal where if you use the code “pjbonus,” you will receive free slippers and 40% off a silky pajama set. Additionally, they are offering free shipping on orders over $50. BRB, filling up my cart with all new bras (which are also 40% off!).
2. Urban Outfitters
Urban Outfitters is our typically expensive, mainstream hipster guilty pleasure. Well, on Black Friday, do not feel guilty about it. In-store deals will have you shopping ‘til you literally drop, but their online deals are amazing too. As of right now, UO members can take 20% off of their entire purchase, and dresses are going for under $20 while tops are going for $10. Slow down if you’re adding everything into your cart already.
3. ASOS
ASOS consistently provides good deals and a variety of fashionable clothing that’s sure to please any sense of style. And now they’re pleasing the masses financially too — ASOS is offering 60% off big brand names for Black Friday. That’s right, you’ll receive more than half of the money off of your purchase. I know, I can’t calm down either.
4. Tobi
Everyone’s favorite destination for finding a cute formal dress and your new favorite oversized sweater, Tobi has some out-of-this-world deals for Black Friday. They are offering up to 80% off on select items, and 50% off of bestsellers for this winter. They’re even offering special deals for customers to pay for their purchases in 2019!
