Now that cannabis legalization is sweeping the U.S. and Canada, legal weed is joining the Black Friday shopping madness.
For those cannabis enthusiasts on the hunt for heady deals, educator and consultant Emma Chasen discusses best practices for a thrifty ー and legal ー "Green Friday."
The top trends in cannabis this year include educational materials, smoking accessories and infused butter, Chasen said.
"The #1 gift, I think, is going to be educational tools," said Chasen, who owns and operates Eminent Consulting. "I know that people have questions and need more answers."
Chasen's top educational gifts include products from Goldleaf, which creates high-quality journals, like its new cooking companion that aims to help marijuana foodies incorporate cannabis into their cooking. [Goldleaf is offering](https://shopgoldleaf.com/) 18 percent off purchases of $25 or more with the code TDAY18.
For accessories, Chasen recommended MJ Arsenal, which sells ー in smoke shops and dispensaries nationwide ー signature bubblers and mini-rigs that add "that extra water cooling for your smoke." For Black Friday, the company is offering [25 percent off online](https://mjarsenal.com/) with code MJAGREEN25.
Magical Butter is Chasen's answer to all things infused. The company's Magical Butter machine allows enthusiasts to infuse cannabis ー or herbs of any kind ー into butter, fat, oil, and even lotions and skincare products. [The company has deals online](https://magicalbutter.com/) for Black Friday and Cyber Monday, using codes MBGREEN and MBRED.
For anything else, Chasen recommended consulting The Daily Leaf, an Oregon-based cannabis discount. [The website,](https://dailyleafdeals.com/deals) which promises users they'll "never pay full price for weed again," functions as an online coupon book ー and now they even have an app.
But before the shopping euphoria takes hold, Chasen recommends that budget hunters bear in mind that there are still a lot of restrictions on cannabis. Enthusiasts can buy online ーeven across state lines ー but only if the items aren't medicated or infused with cannabis. Marijuana apparel, for example, would fall into that category. For everything else, shoppers will have to buy local.
"Unless you live in an adult use regulated state where there are specific delivery programs with dispensaries, like in California, then you would not be able to order a joint online and get it shipped to someplace, like New York," Chasen said.

At 100 years old, the Goodyear Blimp is an ageless star in the sky. The 246-foot-long airship will be in the background of the Daytona 500 — flying roughly 1,500 feet above Daytona International Speedway, actually — to celebrate its greatest anniversary tour. Even though remote camera technologies are improving regularly and changing the landscape of aerial footage, the blimp continues to carve out a niche. At Daytona, with the usual 40-car field racing around a 2½-mile superspeedway, views from the blimp aptly provide the scope of the event.
You'll just have to wait for interest rates (and prices) to go down. Plus, this deal's a steel, the big carmaker wedding is off, and bribery is back, baby!
It’s a chicken-and-egg problem: Restaurants are struggling with record-high U.S. egg prices, but their omelets, scrambles and huevos rancheros may be part of the problem. Breakfast is booming at U.S. eateries. First Watch, a restaurant chain that serves breakfast, brunch and lunch, nearly quadrupled its locations over the past decade to 570. Fast-food chains like Starbucks and Wendy's added more egg-filled breakfast items. In normal times, egg producers could meet the demand. But a bird flu outbreak that has forced them to slaughter their flocks is making supplies scarcer and pushing up prices. Some restaurants like Waffle House have added a surcharge to offset their costs.

The Trump administration has ordered the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to stop nearly all its work, effectively shutting down the agency that was created to protect consumers after the 2008 financial crisis and subprime mortgage-lending scandal. Russell Vought is the newly installed director of the Office of Management and Budget. Vought directed the CFPB in a Saturday night email to stop work on proposed rules, to suspend the effective dates on any rules that were finalized but not yet effective, and to stop investigative work and not begin any new investigations. The agency has been a target of conservatives since President Barack Obama created it following the 2007-2008 financial crisis.
