Outside of the pumpkin pie, the family gathering, and the inevitable food coma, we all know Thanksgiving is the official launch of the holiday season. And if you’ve ever worked in retail, or seen any commercial past mid-November, you know that’s really just code for “shopping season.” Sure, online shopping has mostly saved us from those legendary Black Friday Kohl’s fistfights, but there’s still only a short window to snag the hottest deals of the year and make your holiday gift dreams, or someone else’s, come true.
Of course, we know that Black Friday is no longer just one day. Sales can sometimes run for weeks. We’re more than a week out from Black Friday, and some stores have been marketing their prices all November long. But with all of the chaos this time of year can bring, and the seemingly growing costs of anything and everything, we’ll take all the time we can get to take advantage of these markdowns.
Luckily, now that pickleball has fully hit the mainstream, there’s no shortage of deals to be found. It’s not quite Black Friday yet, so not every promotion has been announced, but we took a look at what’s already live. Whether you’re just getting started and looking for inspiration, or you already know exactly what’s going in your cart, read on for some of the best ways to save money this holiday season.
We hope you have a safe, healthy, and Happy Thanksgiving. (and, Happy Shopping!)
