Black Friday is almost upon us. For years, retailers have rolled out huge sales (and pre-Black Friday deals) in honour of the day after Americans celebrate their Thanksgiving. The tradition began in the United States, according to Snopes, because retailers wanted to capture the millions of consumers who get the day off (hello, holiday shopping!). But today, more and more countries are embracing the massive shopping event.
New research from Save.ca suggests that consumers are ramping up big time for what is now the biggest shopping event of the year with 44 per cent of Canadians surveyed saying they’d spend one week making plans for their Black Friday and Cyber Monday shopping excursions. The average amount shoppers say they’ll be spending on Nov. 25 is $347 and 60 per cent of Canadians surveyed say their major shopping focus is electronics, with clothing and accessories coming in at a close second.
WATCH: Black Friday chaos has crossed the pond as shoppers across the U.K. are fighting it out for door crasher deals with many of the moments caught on tape (Nov. 2014).
The shopping phenomenon has even extended into something called “Cyber Monday.” Think mega-deals online where limitless retailers reduce prices even further to clear out their stock.
Instead of scrambling to search for the best deals around for pre-Black Friday, Black Friday and Cyber Monday, Global News has put together an all-encompassing list for you. (Keep an eye on this space since we’ll be updating the info every day.)
