The days after Thanksgiving are the traditional start of the holiday shopping season. Many shoppers are already setting their sights on the whirlwind of holiday shopping — Black Friday, Small Business Saturday and Cyber Monday.
Major retailers like Walmart, Target, Amazon and Best Buy have already launched early deals, giving shoppers a head start on savings.
A record 186.9 million people plan to shop from midnight on Black Friday through Cyber Monday, according to a consumer survey by the National Retail Federation. The figure is up by more than 3 million total shoppers from last year's record.
The National Retail Federation forecast also calls for holiday spending to surpass $1 trillion for the first time, with sales predicted to grow between 3.7% and 4.2% from 2024.
