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.
