The first Small Business Saturday was started by American Express in partnership with the non-profit National Trust for Historic Preservation, Boston’s Mayor Thomas M. Menino and its Roslindale Village Main Street on November 27, 2010. Since then it has become a part of the wildly popular trifecta of shopping days the weekend after Thanksgiving which include Black Friday, Small Business Saturday and Cyber Monday.

Intended to lure the masses for Holiday season shopping, stores throughout the nation offer customers enticing deals. With the Twitter hashtag #SmallBusinessSaturday, social media gave rise to all three events so that corporate, Mom & Pop, and online stores all could have a piece of the financial pie.

Don’t forget about Giving Tuesday! Organizations have got into the game too on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving. Developed to get those businesses the opportunity to raise necessary funds, it is the perfect time to give back and take advantage of those awesome tax deductions before the year’s end.

Here is a list of some great local deals today. Sorry if we missed anyone but please let us know in the comments section or on Facebook.
