Black Friday (and Cyber Monday) are here – yay It’s no secret that this is the biggest time for shopping and savings this year, so you’re probably getting in on the action! Before you do, I wanted to share 3 awesome sales going on AND how to get the inside scoop on savings for this weekend and beyond with RetailMeNot!

Let’s talk about promo codes! I’m always the one missing the boat on a big deal, I’ll show up to a party wearing a dress and my friend will comment “omg I bought the same one with the 25% off promo code last weekend” and I’m like, wait what?! Ring a bell? I mean who can keep all the codes and offers straight? Not this gal – so I rely on sites like RetailMeNot.com to do all the work for me, weee.

If you’ve ever searched “promo code for storenamehere” you may be familiar with RetailMeNot – because it is always one of the first searches that comes. They’re known for being your one stop shop for all of the promo codes, offers and deals in one place that is continually updated to help serve all your shopping needs – I mean what more could a girl need? Maybe a cheese plate, but then color me happy.
