Black Friday: Food Court Survival Guide

FitSugar — Fri, 25 Nov 2011 02:30:03 PST

Black Friday. A day full of deals, long lines, and schlepping bags full of gifts around the mall. It's a shopping marathon and a gal needs to fuel for endurance events.

The holiday season is full wonderful home-baked treats, you don't want to waste precious calories on run-of-the-mill food court fare. I have found a few items that are lower in calories and saturated fat and though may not be the healthiest choices overall, like celeb trainer Valerie Waters says, sometimes you just have to just make the better choice.

From Dunkin' Donuts:
Multigrain bagel w/ reduced fat veggie cream cheese: 510 calories, 6.5 g saturated fat
Egg White Turkey Sausage Flatbread Sandwich: 290 calories, 3 g saturated fat
Egg White and Cheese Wake-Up Wrap: 150 calories, 3 g saturated fat

From McDonald's:
Premium Southwest Salad with Grilled Chicken: 320 calories, 3 g saturated fat
Premium Caesar Salad with Grilled Chicken: 220 calories, 3 g saturated fat
Snack Size Fruit & Walnut Salad: 210 calories, 1.5 g of saturated fat

Opt for no dressing or choose from these two:

Newman's Own Low Fat Balsamic Vinaigrette: 40 calories, 0 g saturated fat
Newman's Own Low Fat Family Recipe Italian Dressing: 60 calories, 0 g saturated fat

Not lovin' those option? Then look for more choices after the break.

Get Phones Ready For Black Friday Mobile Deals

Kelly Schwarze — Thu, 24 Nov 2011 09:01:05 PST

There's a new distraction for customers navigating long lines and crowded stores this Black Friday: mobile deals from competing retailers. In online stores' frenzy to get in on the post-Thanksgiving shopping action, they're setting up mobile-only deals to customers looking to escape to mobile browsing during the stresses of in-store madness.

With one research firm saying 10 percent of all ecommerce purchases in October were from mobile devices, retailers are seeing how technology enables customers to multitask and buy wisely. Stores including Walgreens, Amazon, HSN, and Gilt will lure shoppers to shop on the go with offers of mobile flash sales and coupons during peak morning Black Friday shopping hours. In fact, Amazon has a Price Checker app for Android and iOS devices that can be used to scan a product's barcode to search for a cheaper price tag at the online giant's own website.

If you're prepping for an after-turkey shopping excursion, don't forget to check our full list of Black Friday apps to ensure you find the best savings at the register. Are you likely to buy holiday gifts via your mobile device this year?
