I absolutely love Black Friday. It's a bargain shopper's holiday! But if you're like me and you're a college student trying to Christmas shop, you need to get the most for your money. So I decided to put together a list for those of us Black Friday-ing on a Budget. Here's 10 things worth buying this Black Friday for under 20 dollars! Happy Shopping!
1. HP 2548 Wireless Printer (Walmart) OR HP Deskjet Wireless Printer (Best Buy) - $19.99
Whether you're buying it for yourself or someone else, this deal is fantastic and they will certainly sell out fast. It;s a perfect gift for a college student, but then again, who doesn't need a printer for under 20 dollars? You can snag this doorbuster deal at Walmart on Thursday at 6 p.m. or at Best Buy on Friday at 8 a.m.!
2. Movies, Movies, Movies! - Under $15
Almost every store having a major Black Friday sale is having a major movie sale as well. We all know someone who loves movies, so they make great gifts without breaking the bank! Walmart is ranging their movies from $1.96 to $9.96, with movies like Zootopia and Batman vs. Superman coming in at a very low price of 7.96! For all you Marvel fans, Deadpool will be available at Walmart for $3.96 and Captain America: Civil War is on sale at Best Buy for $7.99 for those who get there on Thursday at 5 p.m., but if you don't make that sale, you can pick it up at Target for 13 dollars starting Thursday at 6 p.m.!
3. Toastmaster Mini Kitchen Supplies (Kohl's) - $4.99
This is just such a great deal. Kohl's is giving the option of a Toastmaster brand mini food processor, toaster, blender, coffee maker, electric mixer, and/or electric can opener for under 5 dollars! This does require you to send in for a $12 rebate, but it's still a fantastic deal and still under 20 dollars even without the rebate. These make great gifts for college students with their own apartments, or grandparents/parents who love to cook! They will definitely go fast so make sure you get to Kohl's at 6 p.m. Thursday night! (JCPenney also has a similar deal at $7.99 per kitchen item)
4. Ladies, Victoria's Secret Bra Sale - 50% off! (yes, under $20)
THIS SALE IS GOING ON RIGHT NOW. Victoria's Secret is having a 50% off bra sale which includes sports bras and bralettes! That means pretty much all the sports bras and bralettes are under 20 dollars! The bralettes are all about 10 dollars and the sports bras are ranging from $7.50 - $17.50. Don't wait on this sale! Go online now!
5. iPhone Accessories (Five Below) - $5.00
Five Below is opening at 6 p.m. on Thanksgiving to start their Black Friday sale (seems to be a trend this year). With a budget of 20 dollars you could get someone all the best accessories for their iPhone: cases, speakers, screen protectors, touch gloves, and chargers are all just 5 bucks each! Grab 4 of your favorite and your Christmas shopping for your sister or best friend is complete!
6. BOOTS! (Kohl's, JCPenney, Payless) - $19.99
This may be my favorite part of Black Friday. SHOE SALES. No other day of the year can you get all your favorite fall boots for under 20 dollars a pair. The best part is you have more than one store option to get them at. All styles of women's boots from the shortest to the tallest are on sale for $19.99 at all three of these stores. JCPenney is opening its' doors at 3 p.m. on Thanksgiving, while Kohl's will be opening at 6 p.m. Payless has not revealed its' opening time, however, their sale will be going on online as well for those of you who don't feel like fighting the crowds!
7. Gift Sets (Walmart) - Under $10
These will be available now through Christmas, but Walmart has the best gift sets! I often by these for all the random secret santas I end up being in, company work parties where you have to bring a gift, or for stocking stuffers. Walmart has gift sets for everyone ranging from fragrance to hot cocoa and all under 10 dollars. Definitely a must-have for last minute gifts!
8. Hoodies for the NCAA Sports Fan (Dick's Sporting Goods) - $19.98
Anyone with sports fans in the family knows how hard it is to find gear for even close to cheap. If you have college sport fans to buy for, this is the deal for you! Dick's Sporting Goods will open at 6 pm. Thursday and has NCAA Hoodies on sale for men, women, and youth for $19.98!
9. Video Games (Target) - $8.00
I'm not much of a gamer, but I have plenty of people to buy presents for who are. Target is having a sale on select games for PS4 and Xbox One. Video games are never this cheap, so definitely check out the sale for your gamer friends!
10. Treats for our furry friends! (PetSmart) - Under $5
We've covered the various types of human gifts, but what about the gifts for our beloved pets? PetSmart is having a Black Friday sale with some awesome deals on food starting at 7 a.m. on Friday! Cat food for 41-51 cents a can and dog treats for $4.99! Let's not forget to make our pets feel loved over the Holiday season as well!
I hope this list helped focus your Black Friday path and gave you some great gift ideas! There's a little something on this list for everyone. Christmas is great, but it doesn't have to break the bank. Feel free to share any bargains you see on Black Friday in the comments below! Happy Holidays!
