“Since the pandemic, shopping for the holiday season has changed. Even though, more people now shop again in brick and mortar stores, online shopping is popular due to coupons and discount codes. Therefore, Black Friday 2023 will remain to be more like Cyber Monday prior to the pandemic. So standing in the cold in the queue at Nordstrom, Walmart, Old Navy, Sports Authority, etc. already at 4 am isn’t needed to get the best deals. Read about best navigating the biggest sales of the year, and some of my personal shopping memories.

Black Friday the New Way: Hunting for Discount Codes
I took inventory of things that are still on my fall/winter shopping list this weekend. Then I browsed for the items on the list to bookmark them for cyber week. There are plenty of deals to be had already before Black Friday.
Next I searched for promo codes. And I found some coupons for Black Friday Deals at Slickdeals, as well as other coupon sites.

What I Hope Goes on Sale for Black Friday
My Adidas jacket is already over ten years old and still a go-to for a casual posh look. See, for instance, how I wear my Adidas jacket. I bookmarked the pink dip-dye design Adidas wind jacket to add colors to gray, rainy days.
Why I Love Adidas Clothing
The first ever Adidas clothing I bought from my allowance as a kid were a pair of spikes. The pair had a huge discount in the end of summer sales. I wanted traction when running on unpaved paths in the woods. In the humid Lower Rhine region, jogging paths were slippery. Especially, in fall, wet leaves on the ground were a big slipping hazard. The spikes, of course, didn’t make the mandatory running with Dad and my sister more fun. However, they perfectly helped to avoid making contact with the muddy ground. I loved that the shoes worked excellently for the purpose I bought them:
To avoid getting dirty and/or hurt.
Athleisure looks at work and play have become a new Do. I remembered the good experience I had made with my spikes. They had been very durable, and were a great value at an affordable price! That being said the price-per-wear goes easily below a dollar. And the brand has the bold colors I love.
What Else Is on My Black Friday Shopping List?
Gifts, a red dress, crafting supply (to make gifts), a pair of winter booties (not decided which pair to buy), and ugly Christmas sweater that’s not kitschy, … . See the carousel for inspirations.
How to Navigate Black Friday in 2023 in a Nutshell
Navigate shopping on Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and Cyber Week by
- Creating a list what to look for (to avoid impulse buying),
- Doing some “pre-shopping” by browsing for the items on the list,
- Identify retailers that cut the middlemen out,
- Look where you can buy high quality products from the same manufactures of the big brands,
- Bookmark your pre-selection,
- Browse for coupons for the day and brand/store, and
- Go to the bookmarked pages early to close the deal.
