The best way to predict what Black Friday will look like is to look at last year's hits on that day and also look at competitor offerings from the previous year. Target, Walmart, Best Buy, and Amazon are pretty similar with offers and go step to step for our business, but recently Target has really been inching forward with offers and overall customer experience. Let's look at the expectations for this year and think about our buying strategies.

Black Friday is over a month away, but you can hear it coming. The hype, the anticipation, the predictions! We might love it or hate it, but the low prices are undeniable, so be ready to hit the stores in person or on your computer if you care about savings at all.

The entire year was, to put it mildly, different, so we can expect nothing less for Black Friday and Cyber Monday shopping sprees.
