Hey, Georgia. Well, first, Black Friday is no longer this standalone day of shopping madness. Instead, consumers are doing a lot of their holiday shopping and deal hunting on that Friday all the way through Cyber Monday. And of course, that's because of the massive growth in online shopping. For example, last year, nearly $10 billion were spent online from Black Friday to Cyber Monday.

A decade ago, online sales in that timeframe were just under $2 billion. And despite Americans still struggling with cumulative inflation over the past three years, today is still expected to be the biggest shopping day of the year.

You mentioned inflation still being an issue. Is that going to affect what consumers are looking for this time around?

Well, Americans are wanting a deal on essentials, and they're not necessarily buying luxury. Chains known for reasonably priced goods like TJ Maxx and Walmart had particularly strong numbers heading into Black Friday. Basically, the price has to be right for the right goods, but shoppers on the hunt should really be on the lookout for supposed deals that aren't really deals.

A report from WalletHub compared Black Friday ads against their Amazon prices just a few months ago, and they found that 41% of the items at major retailers are actually not less expensive compared to their pre-Black Friday prices. Retailers are sometimes inflating original prices so it looks like a deal. It would be wise to cross-check any deal you think you're getting.
