Just like the holiday season, the vegan sales extend all weekend long. Here’s what to stock up on for Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, and beyond
Gone are the days of camping out in the parking lot of some department store with the sun not yet up and that third helping of Tofurky still sitting in your stomach. When it comes to vegan sales, Black Friday has become less chaotic and far more leisurely, and you can score all of these deals below from the comfort of your dining room table (or cosy bed, if you prefer). Given the fact that many of these offers exist for the long weekend, you can take your time deciding whether or not you really need a Costco-sized bundle full of plant-based groceries at 40-percent off or not.
There’s also Small Business Saturday to consider. While this day may not be known for its gangbuster deals, many independent brands still offer some kind of perk. Though really, no further incentive is needed to support a quality small vegan business. From vegan meal delivery kits to super cosy holiday gifts, here are 16 stellar vegan Black Friday and Small Business Saturday finds.
1Matthew Kenney dining credits
There are dozens of Matthew Kenney vegan restaurants all over the world. From Manama, Bahrain to Los Angeles, California, if you live near an urban centre, you’re likely to be in near proximity to Kenney’s exceptional vegan cuisine. The global brand is offering steep discounts on its dining credits which can be used at any of Kenney’s restaurants around the world. For example, pay $250 and receive $325 in credits. This would make an incredible gift or a well-deserved act of self care.

Veestro
2Veestro
It’s the holiday season, which means we spend a handful of days cooking all day long and the rest just trying to keep up with hectic schedules and subsisting off leftovers and takeout. It’s always a comfort to have a Veestro meal in the freezer, knowing you don’t have to brave the weather or disrupt your work groove to feed yourself. The frozen vegan meal kit brand is offering 40-percent off its entire site now through Black Friday, so stock up!

UnHide
3UnHide
Snuggies have nothing on the hygge-like cosiness of a thick, fluffy, and soft UnHide blanket. Made with plant-based material, the fuzzy Marshmallow collection features extra-large blankets in aesthetic shades that not only match virtually any decor, they wrap you head-to-toe in a comforting warm hug. Olaf the Snowman approves, so don’t delay. The 25-percent off sale only lasts through November 29.

TOMS
4TOMS
Not all TOMS products are vegan (some are made with leather), but there are plenty of man-made kicks and sunnies during this socially conscious company’s sale. Get 35-percent off everything in the store, from the classically cute Alpargata styles to holiday flamingo-themed no-show socks.

Rens
5Rens sneakers
Like a pair of TOMS shoes, Rens are the perfect everyday footwear. Unlike TOMS, Rens slip-on sneakers are made with upcycled plastic water bottles and coffee grounds.

If you are going to battle it out in the actual or virtual queues of a department store, be sure to take advantage of the deals on kitchen appliances.

They’re like smartphones—we cannot even fathom how we made smoothies or prepared tofu before owning a high-tech blender and convenient air-fryer. Target, Walmart, Nordstrom, Macy’s, and even higher-end stores like Williams-Sonoma are all hosting sales. Do your research and take advantage of the steepest discount near you.
