The 8 Best Things to Buy in November

November is a time for giving thanks — for our family and friends, for our health, for another season of This Is Us, and for the delicious feast we’re about to spend the next three weeks preparing to eat. Call us superficial, but we’re also pretty grateful for Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and all the other end-of-year deals that are about to hit stores. Girl’s gotta stick to a budget, after all, especially as we approach the holiday season. Our cup overfloweth with sales and discounts this month, and we most definitely do not hate it. Here are just a few of the items you’ll find great prices on over the next few weeks.

1. Candy: The trick-or-treaters have packed up their costumes and treat bags for another year, and so we say goodbye to another candy-heavy holiday. The upside? All the candy that wasn’t sold prior to Halloween is now on sale and ripe for the taking (well, for the buying — but at a low, low price). Go grab all your favorite sweets from your local pharmacy or grocery store. You’re gonna need ’em when things get stressful with family this holiday season.

2. Halloween Costumes and Decorations: This one should hardly come as a surprise. Halloween is behind us, and retailers everywhere want to clear out that precious seasonal space to make room for Christmas tree decorations and holiday cards. Now is the perfect time to get your hands on the kind of non-trendy Halloween costumes and decor that will still be spooky and fun next year. You’ll thank 2017 you for saving 2018 you a few dollars in the October budget.

3. Grills: Gas grills tend to be on deep discount in November, likely because BBQ season is officially closed in most parts of the country. Start setting your sights on the warmer days of next year by scoping out great grill deals now.

4. TVs and Electronics: We probably don’t need to tell you that Black Friday is the day to get the best prices on big-ticket items. If you’re willing to brave the crowds the day after Thanksgiving, you can get your hands on some seriously discounted televisions — just in time to watch your favorite holiday movies!

5. Frozen Pies: Everyone wants to be the Thanksgiving guest who can show up to the feast with a beautiful pie made from scratch, but that doesn’t make it a reality. After all, a fresh pie is no break-and-bake cookie. Supermarkets and big-box stores have your back this month with great deals on frozen pies. (And don’t worry — it can be our little secret.)

6. Food Storage: The aftermath of any good Thanksgiving (or Friendsgiving) celebration usually looks like a straight-up battlefield of leftovers. Retailers are ready to take advantage of your imminent need for aluminum foil, plastic wrap, and tupperware containers with slashed prices on all things food storage. Buy the supplies you need to get through the holidays, along with a few extras to keep you on your meal prep game moving into 2018.

7. Small Appliances: In the market for a new blender, coffeemaker, or other kitchen gadget? Black Friday or Cyber Monday are the perfect days to make those purchases. If you know you’ll be attending lots of bridal showers or weddings in the first half of 2018, check to see if the gift registries are available now so you can get ahead of the game in a budget-friendly way.

8. Pomegranates: If you share Kylie Jenner‘s feelings about pomegranates (ICYMI, she’s obsessed with them), it’s time to run — not walk — to the store for some serious stockpiling. November is the end of the already short season for this seeded fruit, so supermarkets will be trying to unload them fast. If you’re not much for the taste of pomegranates, consider them as decorations for your holiday table.

Everyone's favorite social satire series, The White Lotus, has returned for a new season on HBO. Set in Thailand, Season 3 is taking viewers on another dramatic (and sometimes uncomfortable) journey with a fresh group of affluent travelers.

Well, the cast does have two returning stars: Natasha Rothwell as Belinda Lindsey and Jon Gries as Greg. Then some of the newcomers include Leslie Bibb, Carrie Coon, Michelle Monaghan, Jason Isaacs, Parker Posey, Patrick Schwarzenegger, Sarah Catherine Hook, Sam Nivola, Walton Goggins, Lisa Manobal, and Charlotte Le Bon.

One more star, Aimee Lou Wood, has especially stood out to fans. She plays Chelsea and has delivered a captivating performance thus far as Rick's younger girlfriend. Aside from her intriguing portrayal, many viewers have also been fascinated by her unique look — more specifically, her teeth. Aimee, who is British, has confirmed that her teeth are real, and her unique smile is actually something that's affected her career in Hollywood.

Scroll to see what The White Lotus star, Aimee Lou Wood said about all THOSE teeth comments...

The actress, who's 30 years old, detailed how, when it came to theater auditions, she always felt confident. Yet, she'd be "shocked" to get a call back after auditioning for a TV role.

It wasn't until 2009, when Georgia May Jagger, who also has a distinct smile with a gap, became the face of Rimmel London, that Aimee felt more secure in her look.

"All of a sudden, it went from me being goofy to, 'Oh, you're a bit of a model, aren't you?' So I want to thank Georgia May Jagger for representing the buck teeth," she shared with Stylist back in 2020.

Aimee has maintained her British accent on The White Lotus, which makes sense, given the show's premise is about entitled world travelers who encounter dark circumstances or fates. Interestingly, though, she recently discussed her belief that she wouldn't be able to convincingly portray an American character due to her teeth.

"It's the teeth. Like, no Americans have my teeth. They just don't. I'd have to get veneers. Because... I think that genuinely is like one of the things," she revealed to On Demand Entertainment.

But while many celebs have already gone the veneer route, Aimee is proud that she hasn't. It makes her feel "a bit rebellious." Plus, ever since landing her latest role on the show, she's reportedly received "hundreds of messages" from fans who've appreciated seeing unique smiles like theirs on-screen.

"People going, 'Oh my god, you've got teeth like mine. Now I go to school, and people think I'm cool because I look like Aimee.' Instead of it being 'Bugs Bunny' or whatever," Aimee explained.

So, while she battled insecurities about her teeth during childhood, she's definitely become a representation icon for girls and women everywhere.

To see what happens to Aimee's character next, as well as the rest of the cast, you can catch new episodes of The White Lotus on Sundays at 9:00 p.m. ET/PT on HBO and stream on Max.

Every year on March 17, people around the globe celebrate St. Patrick's Day with festive parades, lively music, and, obviously, plenty of green. But beyond the usual partying, this holiday is also steeped in traditions that are believed to bring good fortune.

Whether you want to attract prosperity, ward off bad energy, or simply embrace the spirit of the holiday, here are some St. Patrick's Day traditions that might just bring a little extra luck your way.

Scroll to see the all the lucky St. Patrick's Day traditions that manifest a little extra fortune!

1. Wearing Green (And Pinching Those Who Aren't)

RDNE Stock project

One of the easiest ways to cash in on the luck of St. Patrick's Day is by wearing green. This hue has deep ties to Ireland, which is often called the "Emerald Isle" due to its lush, rolling landscapes. Beyond its natural beauty, green also carries historical significance and symbolizes Irish nationalism and cultural pride.

The best part? There's a mischievous side to this fun and festive tradition. More specifically, those who forget to wear the color might find themselves on the receiving end of a pinch.

This playful custom is more common in the U.S. than in Ireland and stems from the idea that wearing green makes you invisible to leprechauns, who are known for their trickster ways. So, to avoid being "spotted" (or pinched), make sure you add a splash of green to your outfit.

2. Drowning A Shamrock In Whiskey

Jill Wellington

In Ireland, a well-known tradition is "drowning the shamrock," and it's believed to bring good luck. The shamrock has long been linked with Irish heritage and fortune. It's said to have been used by St. Patrick to explain the concept of the Holy Trinity.

So, on March 17, many celebrate by dropping a fresh shamrock into a glass of whiskey, drinking the beverage, and then tossing the shamrock over their left shoulder for good luck.

3. Doing An Irish Jig

Darlene Alderson

Get into the spirit of the holiday by learning an Irish jig! This energetic dance is a staple of Irish celebrations and is often performed in parades or festivals. It features quick footwork, pointed toes, and rhythmic hopping.

The Irish jig has deep roots in Celtic culture, possibly evolving from ancient clan marching tunes or early Celtic circle dances. Traditionally, Celts danced clockwise for joyous occasions and counterclockwise for mourning.

You can take a dance class, join in at a local event, or just work on some jig steps at home!

4. Searching For Four-Leaf Clovers

MH Shan

Hunting for a four-leaf clover is a classic St. Patty's Day pastime, and if you manage to find one, you should consider yourself super lucky.

While shamrocks typically have three leaves, the rare four-leaf clover is actually a genetic mutation, making it a real symbol of good fortune. In fact, experts estimate that only one in every 10,000 clovers has four leaves!

Test your luck this holiday by scanning a patch of clover quickly. Our brains are surprisingly good at spotting irregular patterns.

5. Release The "Devil" From Your Irish Soda Bread

Bijoux and Bits

Did you know that cutting a cross on top of Irish soda bread isn't just for aesthetics? According to Irish folklore, scoring a cross into the dough "lets the devil out" and ensures good luck and protection for your household.

This superstition, rooted in both Christian and pagan beliefs, was thought to ward off evil spirits. It also serves a practical purpose by allowing steam to escape, thus helping the bread bake evenly.

6. Run In A St. Patrick's Day Dash

Brett Sayles

Running a race might not be the first thing that comes to mind for March 17, but it's become a really fun tradition. St. Patrick's Day dashes can range from quick 5Ks to half marathons, with plenty of family-friendly walks for those who prefer a more leisurely pace.

Participants dress up in green, wear shamrocks, and sometimes even race while sporting leprechaun hats! It's a great way to stay active and possibly run your way into some good luck.

7. Chow Down On Corned Beef And Cabbage

Brit + Co

It's just not St. Patrick's Day without a plate of corned beef and cabbage. Even though many associated this dish with Ireland, it actually has Irish-American roots.

When Irish immigrants arrived in the U.S., they found corned beef to be a more affordable alternative to traditional bacon. Paired with cabbage, potatoes, and carrots, it became a comforting and flavorful meal that stuck as a holiday staple.

8. Kiss Someone Who Is Irish

RDNE Stock project

Finally, you've definitely seen the phrase "Kiss me, I'm Irish" on T-shirts before. This fun saying is tied to the tradition of kissing the Blarney Stone in Ireland, an act that's said to bring good luck.

However, not all of us have the ability to visit the Blarney Stone. So, kissing an Irish person is another way to honor the custom in the spirit of good fortune.
