One the biggest ways to save aside being frugal and using coupons, is to take advantage of sales that happen at set times of the year. For example, this week has been Black Friday everywhere! The official day being tomorrow, November 25, 2011.

What is Black Friday?

Black Friday is the day following Thanksgiving Day in the United States, traditionally the beginning of the Christmas shopping season. Merchants offer big discounts to encourage customers to shop at their stores.

Then the grand finale to the US Thanksgiving shopping weekend is Cyber Monday where you can get huge discounts shopping online! The official day for 2011 is Monday, November 28th.

What is Cyber Monday?

Cyber Monday is a marketing term for the Monday immediately following Black Friday, created by companies to persuade people to shop online. Look for e-codes or coupon codes to discount your purchases. Some e-retailers will automatically apply the discount without needing a coupon code. Be certain to read the terms and conditions of the sales discounts.
