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 cozy 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 cozy holiday gifts, here are 16 stellar vegan Black Friday and Small Business Saturday finds.
Plant Food and Wine
1 Matthew 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 center, 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
2 Veestro
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
3 UnHide
Snuggies have nothing on the hygge-like coziness 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.

Rens
5 Rens 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.

Vitamix
13 Vegan appliances
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. Tools such as Vitamixes and air fryers aren’t exactly essential in a vegan household, but once you own one, you will never know how you lived without them. 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.
