Clothing & Accessories Deals to Watch

Black Friday is coming, and you've got two choices: get trampled at 3 a.m. for a discount air fryer, or learn how the pros actually save hundreds without the drama.

Joe Saul-Sehy and Neighbor Doug kick off Black Friday week with the perfect blend of strategy and sanity. First up: Australian comedian Josh Liston tries to make sense of American Thanksgiving traditions and why we consider waking up before dawn to fight strangers over discounted electronics "normal holiday fun." Spoiler: he's not buying it.

Then Regina Conway from Slick Deals drops in with the actual playbook. Regina breaks down when to shop during Black Friday week (different categories peak on different days), how to stack coupons with cashback and gift card deals for maximum savings, and why subscriptions and memberships might be the smartest budget-friendly gifts you're not considering. She also reveals how the Slick Deals community spots hidden bargains before they disappear—and how you can do the same.

But here's where it gets real: Joe, Doug, and Josh tackle Buy Now Pay Later schemes like Affirm and Klarna. They're everywhere this season, and they're tempting. They're also the financial equivalent of eating Halloween candy for breakfast—feels great in the moment, regrettable by lunch. You'll learn exactly when these services make sense (rare) and when they're just a trap disguised as convenience.

Whether you're hunting deals or trying to avoid holiday debt, this episode is your survival guide for coming out ahead.
