Many would consider Thanksgiving to just be Black Friday Eve and look forward more to the deals they can find rather than that third helping of stuffing.
Americans took full advantage of Black Friday this year too, spending a record $9.8 BILLION just shopping online alone!
According to CNBC, that’s an increase in spending of 7.5% from last year. Just over half of those purchases were made on phones as well, which suggests a lot of consumers gave in to impulse purchases!
Across the world, people spent more than $70 billion on Black Friday products, with the majority of us spending our money on electronics, toys, and video games.
