Black Friday | Cyber Monday

Welcome everyone to the holiday madness also known as Black Friday. 

In an effort to make both this day (which has almost become a type of gladiator blood sport) and it’s kinder, gentler little sister -Cyber Monday – a bit more bearable, we here at the Agora have assembled a fairly comprehensive shopping/discount guide.

Some tips! 

1. Make a list.

And check it twice. No seriously. It will help you avoid those regretful impulse buys.

2. Set your alarm.

There are going to be a few deals that will blow your mind. These deals are going to be blowing other people’s minds too. If you want them, you are going to want to be on the website the second the sale begins. Not 30 seconds later. THE second.

3. When setting your alarm, check the websites time zone.

Though a lot of companies run on an EST time zone, others (like my personal favorites Ulta and Sephora) run on Central, Mountain, or Pacific.

Alright … and now on to the discounts:
