TOP 3 Reasons to Shop Online for Black Friday

Now that I live in the mountains of Asheville, North Carolina, I have to drive to the (very small with a limited selection) mall during the bitter cold winter months if I want to stock up on my fave designer clothes, replace my fancy dept store brand makeup and restock my favorite perfume...

If like me, you loathe cold winter temps and live in a somewhat small-ish town, but still need to shop, what do you do?

Shop Online, of course!

Here are my Top 3 Reasons to Shop Online for Black Friday:

1. You'll Avoid Long Lines: You can avoid wasting time driving in traffic, avoid exhaustion from waiting in long lines in stores, and *bonus* avoid getting into a fight with the little old lady who cut the line right in front of you just after she swiped in and stole your spot in the parking lot earlier.


2. You'll Save Money: on gas driving to and from, on money for the bus, train or subway. Save money on food and drinks, because all of that walking and driving (and fighting little old ladies) can get exhausting and you'll inevitably need to refuel.

But if I shop online... what about the shipping fees, you may ask? Many retailers offer free shipping with minimum purchases. I myself have a small $35 minimum purchase fee in my shop for my free shipping guarantee right now. But even without Free Shipping, try to look at a shipping fee like a small convenience fee. Shopping online and getting your packages delivered to your door is really a huge convenience!


3. Shop Online and Earn Money! When you shop at your favorite stores online (including Amazon, Ebay, Saks, Kate Spade, The GAP, and More) through Rakuten.com (formerly known as Ebates), you can literally earn money every time you shop! AND, Bonus! My affiliate link gets you an automatic $10 just for joining.

So far I've earned $58+ as you can see in the top right corner of the screen and I JUST joined.

You can opt to receive the money earned via PayPal, or have it applied as an account balance at one of your favorite online retailers or opt to receive a physical check in the mail. Honestly, at first I was skeptical, but I've already received a check in the mail and thats all it took to make me a believer!

There are many many stores to shop through Rakuten. Some of my current favorites are Sephora, Amazon, and Ebay.

Happy Shopping!
