(The following guest post is written by Chris, Alissa’s ever-supportive boyfriend & creative collaborator.)

I am a man who wears many hats. I’m a corporate trainer, a chef, and a boyfriend. Sometimes, I am also the man behind the wheel when Alissa wants to go shopping. It should also be noted that I enjoy shopping too.

So this Black Friday, it was a joint decision that we would visit JCPenney for their amazing offerings.

Alissa loves JCPenney, especially their jewelry and shoes. I love JCPenney as well, especially their clearance. I’ve found many a steal there.

During this trip, I was able to find a nice pair of dark brown Levi jeans for less than $12. The woman at the cash register was shocked when she rang it up. She couldn’t believe it.

Alissa found a Liz Claiborne necklace that sparkled as much as her personality. It was really a great match. She used a $10 off $10 coupon so after the necklace and a coaster with an A on it, she spent less than $2.

After JCPenney, we walked around the mall, visiting Finish Line and New York & Company. We didn’t end up getting anything else at the mall, but we left happy.

From there, we went to see Murder on the Orient Express, and then Best Buy. We went to Best Buy at 12:45am, but were too late for the amazing deals. There were still great deals, just none to make us spend anything.

We hope you found some great deals, post your finds in the comments if you did!

Happy Styling!
