10 Stores Where You'll Shop Til' You Drop This Black Friday

Top Portal Review

Black Friday: you either love it or you hate it.

The Black Friday lovers (like myself) wait months for the ads to come out. We spend hours finding the best deals and planning our trip. It's a must to wear comfortable clothes and to bring your coffee with you- be as basic as you want. Be prepared to wait in long lines and be up all night; all to rack up the best deals of the year. Go 2-3 hours before the store opens/ sale starts to score a good spot in line. Here is a list that I have compiled of the best sales of Black Friday 2016:

1. WalMart:

Yeah, yeah, I know typical WalMart, but have you even seen their sales?! From 50 inch TVs for $250 to scoring 50 Shades Of Grey for $1.96- they have everything you need, Did I mention the kid's pj's for $4.75? Seriously WalMart will have it all. I recommend going either hours before the sale starts or a couple hours after, but NEVER go while the sale is going on if you haven't already been there for at least an hour. As soon as the sale starts people are literally grabbing items, filling their buggies and moving to the next item on their list. There will be a stand still- I repeat- a standstill of buggy to buggy all across the store. If you are going with a crowd I recommend everyone splitting up the items so y'all make sure to get everything that y'all want.

2. Target

Target is probably my most favorite department store of all time because it has everything and it's not as basic as WalMart. The #1 item is the Powerbeats that will be on sale for $89.99... did I mention they are wireless?!

3. Kohl's

The best thing about Kohl's is that if you show up early enough- you get a freebie, like movie tickets. Popular doorbusters will be Fitbit's for $99.99 and diamond earrings $19.99.

4. Belk

Okay, I'll admit this is arguably my fav store to go to on BF. Like Kohl's, if you get in line early enough you will get a freebie (store gift card). Rumor has it that BF sales go on Wednesday night and you can get want the day before and ignore the crowd.Three words: boots for $19.99. That is all.

5. ToysRus

Don't forget the kiddos in your life and make this place a stop on your BF route. Doorbusters include Pikachu for $12.49 and all Disney Princess dresses for $9.99. I know what my daughter is getting for Christmas.

6. Best Buy

Come early. Good deals include newer movies for $7.99 and a 49" TV for $199.99.

7. Macy's

Imagine their BF the same as Belk's, but on steroids. Same freebie, even boots for $19.99 and 75% off outerwear. Yeah, Macy's is a must go.

8. Lowe's

Some guys like to shop too right? They'll have saw's for $199, appliances up to 40% off, and 99 cent Poinsettia's that really set the whole Christmas tone.

9. Kmart

This is always one of my go-to places on BL. I've never seen a big crowd, but always expect the unexpected. I suggest the BOGO $1 footwear for all the family.

10. Sam's Club

Don't forget your membership card. Good deals include a Sound Bar for $119.88, a treadmill for $399, and the Nikon bundle for $499.

Wherever you decide to go always remember to have fun and be safe. Happy Savings!

11 Things Summer Nannies Can Relate To

There are plenty of obstacles that come when taking care of kids, but it's a very rewarding experience.

University of Wisconsin Branch Schools

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

11 Struggles Of Having An “Ethnic” Name

You'll never find any souvenirs with your name on it

thoughtcatalog.com

There are a lot of really easy, common names in the U.S. and while many of those simple names have different spellings, most of the time, pronunciation is not an issue that those people need to worry about. However, others are not as fortunate and often times give up on corrections after a while. We usually give an A+ for effort. So, as you could probably imagine, there are a few struggles with having a name that isn’t technically English. Here are just a few…

11 Things You Should Never Say To A Puerto Rican

Don't Be That Person

Jessica Pinero

Puerto Ricans. They are very proud people and whether they were born on the island or born in the United States by Puerto Rican parent(s). It gets even better when they meet another fellow Puerto Rican or Latino in general. You’ll know quickly if they are Puerto Rican whether the flag is printed somewhere on their person or whether they tell you or whether the famous phrase “wepa!” is said.

To The Girl Who Falls Too Fast, Never Be Ashamed Of How Hard You Love

Love hard, every day, and never be ashamed.

3090

If it hurts now, it'll hurt again. Not because you're gullible or naive, only because you fall fast, hard, and you do it every time.

We fall each and every time with the complete and utter confidence that someone will be there to catch us. Now that person we SWORE we were never going to fall for has our hearts, and every time we see them our palms start sweating. The butterflies in our stomach start to soar and our hearts are entirely too close to bursting out of our chests.
