Fashion gurus and make up stylists are bringing their Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals to Youtube, calling them “Hauls” and showing off their purchases to the world.

Hauls are short videos that display a product review or multiple product reviews. Hauling videos aren’t exactly a new concept. They began around 2009 and the tag “haul” has over 400,000 tags – some videos with over one million views. The hauling videos are turning shopping spree queens into web stars. Some vloggers are even cashing in on sponsorships, product deals and magazine deals as a result of the amount of views they are receiving on their haul videos.

With Black Friday, Cyber Monday and other upcoming holiday sales taking place, people want to know what the best stuff is and where the best deals are this season, and you can find it.

Unfortunately, if you’re looking for good deals on groceries, you’re just going to have to watch Extreme Couponing until someone starts an awesome grocery hoard video trend.
