Read this before Black Friday

Assalamu Alaikum girlie! 🌸

Black Friday is almost here and can we just admit… it’s not what it used to be. The day of “deals,” dopamine hits, and somehow ending up with 12 random packages at your door like… who ordered that?

Before you scroll, click, and spiritually disassociate, here’s the real tea: sales aren’t the problem. Shopping with zero plan is. That’s the fast track to stress, regret, and a bank account looking at you sideways.

This time, we’re doing it differently.

Here’s how to prep your money, your mindset, and your sanity before the madness starts:

1. Face your budget
Look at your bills, your savings goals, and your “fun money” for the month. Whatever you can spend guilt-free? That’s your number. Not what someone on TikTok is buying, not what that 70% off sign tells you. Yours.

2. Prioritize what matters
Black Friday can be a blessing if you plan. Things you were going to buy anyway like appliances, gifts for family, a treat for yourself- these come first.

3. Make a mini-game plan
Decide now what you’ll grab on Friday versus Monday. Avoid overlap, impulse buys, and that heavy feeling of “why did I do that?”

4. Build a system that actually works
Here’s the truth: if you’ve been trying to stick to a budget that’s unnecessarily restrictive or apps that make you want to scream, you’re doing it wrong. You need a system that’s flexible, values-driven, and actually makes your life easier.

Needless to say, it’s perfect timing for a budgeting workshop! Join me for this Saturday for the “Build a Budget That Works” workshop where I’ll show you how to plan for spending to reach your financial goals.

In this 1-hour, live session, you’ll learn how to:

• Build a budget that feels freeing, not restrictive

• Plan for sadaqah, savings, and self-care guilt-free

• Avoid the common budgeting mistakes

• Explore halal savings options that align with your deen

Imagine shopping this weekend without the stress. Without guilt. Without wondering if your choices are messing up your savings. That’s what this workshop gives you. A plan, clarity, and peace.
