The day after Thanksgiving, when stomachs are stuffed and you’re just beginning to relax from the biggest feast day of the year, comes one of the biggest shopping days of the year, Black Friday.

Area stores will be jam-packed with shoppers out to grab the huge bargains offered by local retailers. And most will stay busy for weeks to come.

But you can do all your shopping in one place by buying copies of Adventures in Dining 2013. Priced at $35, the coupon books offer two-for-one dining opportunities in restaurants and attractions located throughout Chattanooga, Dalton, Ga., and Cleveland, Tenn.

Your purchase will support a local charity of your choice. It’s a win-win for you and the local nonprofit organizations selling the books. It’s a perfect gift for the person on your list who enjoys dining out.

While most of the charitable organizations will be closed on Black Friday, they’ll reopen Monday, ready to start selling. So during this time of thankfulness, it’s a good time to support the organizations who help those in need.
