Have you already started your holiday shopping?

Every year, I say I'm going to start early, but of course, I never do!

I end up waiting until the last minute and get stuck scrambling at the very end to get it all done in time, paying extra for quick shipping, and running from store to store.

Maybe I'll try to pick up a few things this weekend; however, there's no way I'll be able to get it all done.

If you're someone who waits until Black Friday to head out and take advantage of all the great deals, it turns out that may not be the best time to go.

Southern Living Magazine is out with the best day to go holiday shopping, and it's not Black Friday!!

"Most stores have moved away from slashing all their prices only for Black Friday and have instead begun rolling out holiday savings throughout the month of November, with savings reaching a peak on the week of Thanksgiving," the article states.

That's good to know!!!
