Some people love the Black Friday experience: the crowds, the excitement, the victorious feeling of scoring a great deal.
Me? I’m not a fan of big lines or chain stores, so I’ve avoided Black Friday shopping like the plague.
But, let’s face it: That’s not going to get me any deals. Thankfully, the Internet has been a game-changer for people like me.
You no longer need to battle the crowds on Black Friday or only shop at major retailers.
Why? Because many small businesses are offering sales of their own — some you can even access from the comfort of your own couch.
If you want to skip the lines and support small businesses this Black Friday, here are 14 small retailers with big online sales. Many are offering exclusive discounts for our readers!
