The saying goes: "Do what you love and the rest will follow." I guess you could say that's how I became a shopping editor. Now I get to use bargain-hunting shopping skills daily by helping travelers find the best deals on products that will elevate their trip experiences. A major component of my job is staying on top of the biggest savings opportunities of each season, and now that Black Friday is here, I'm excited to share the can't-miss markdowns with my fellow online shopping enthusiasts.
