By nature, Black Friday is a day that's very much about materialism. Consumers flood stores and online sites in search of deals on tech, men's fashion, women's fashion, mattresses, and more. But if you'd prefer to spend your money on experiences or learning opportunities, a DNA kit might be the perfect way to do so.
If you've ever been interested in understanding more about your ancestry or family history, right now is the best time to get a DNA kit as many of the best ones are discounted for Black Friday. (Might we add, they also make great holiday gifts for friends and family!)
Brands like 23andMe, AncestryDNA, and Vitagene all make easy-to-use at-home kits that can provide results in a matter of weeks. In addition to your family history, certain kits can assess your health, provide useful insight to improve your fitness, or track down historical relatives.
While many tests unveil similar data, there are key differences between each one. Check them out below and compare deal prices.
