Thanksgiving is over and you probably have the day off, but unlike any other Friday, today is Black Friday. It’s the biggest shopping day of the year and because of the increased amount of shopping, it’s the day that the stores get out of the red and into the black … hence the name.
With all of the shopping going on it’s a bit hard to find something to do for free but you can still find something for free in the middle of all of your shopping, and we have a few ideas for you in today’s Dollars & Sense. Check it out.

Take A Break From Shopping At The MoMa
Fridays at the Metropolitan Museum of Art are sponsored by Target and are free for visitors. If you would like to take a break from the shopping madness of Black Friday, you can stop into the MoMa and take some time for yourself. Target Free Friday Nights are held every Friday evening from 4:00 to 8:00 p.m. Tickets for Target Free Friday Nights are not available in advance. Your Target Free Friday Night ticket permits you to all other Museum galleries, exhibitions, and films. When you are finished, you can continue shopping right in the MoMa’s design store.

Financial Tip Of The Day:
Cut Back on the Convenience Foods
Instead of eating fast food or just nuking some prepackaged food when you get home, try making some simple and healthy replacements that you can take with you. An hour’s worth of preparation one weekend can give you a ton of cheap and handy meals that will end up saving you a lot of cash and not eat into your time when you’re busy. After yesterday, you should have plenty of turkey left over for a variety of different foods.
