Retailers are rolling out holiday deals earlier than ever this year.
Many stores have Christmas items on shelves across from Halloween decorations and some shoppers say it's too early.
Those looking to score deals though, are finding that Black Friday sales have already started.
Experts say Black Friday is an entire season now -- not just a single day. And for good reason: a new survey by RetailMeNot claims 56% of consumers are already holiday shopping.
One reason more shoppers are getting an extra-early start on the holidays this year is inflation. One in four people told RetailMeNot they are spacing out purchases over several months in order to cope with price increases.
Other people just prefer to get ahead of the holiday rush and beat the crowds. Some also argue that the earlier you start shopping, the better selection you have and the more likely you are to find hot ticket items in stock.
If you're looking to get a head started on your shopping list, Walmart, Target, Macy's and Amazon have all started rolling out early Black Friday sales.
Walmart is spreading the savings over the next month with its "Black Friday Deals for Days." Every Monday in November, the retailer is dropping prices on the must-have gifts of the season, with deeper discounts across electronics, home, toys and apparel and more.
Deals at Walmart include a Samsung Galaxy Tablet for $109, NutriBullet Blender for $119, KitchenAid Stand Mixer for $209.99, HP Chromebook for $98, and several brands of 43-inch smart TVs for under $300.
Target kicked off its Black Friday deals earlier this month and the discounts run weekly through November 25, featuring savings up to 50% off or more across new and trending items. The retailer also has a "Deal of the Day" on top brands that last for only 24 hours.
