Stores are gearing up for Black Friday
Walmart is rolling out the in-store deals at 6PM Thanksgiving day.
Many customers were out on the eve of Thanksgiving filling their carts as they have no plans to shop on Thursday.
Throughout the eight days Amazon will offer limited-time Lightning Deals on thousands Black Friday deals per day. Many of us get overwhelmed too at times, given the sheer number of deals, various starting times etc. Today, we want to help our United Kingdom readers. With the exception of a handful of in-store only doorbusters, stores have smartened up to our shopping habits and are now placing equally awesome deals online. Over the past few years, this spending extravaganza has increasingly migrated online, marking the descent of the infamous Black Friday, and the ascent of the much more convenient and comfortable Cyber Monday.
Walmart’s “Dare to Compare” promotion for Black Friday promises to match or beat the best online prices of some products that are also offered by several major retailers.

However, the company’s employees are not being cut out of any potential money they would have earned if they worked the day after Thanksgiving. “We’ve started to see a backlash in America and the United Kingdom, where larger retailers have made a decision to not take part in Black Friday”.
