Life has changed quite a bit. 2020 required us to slow our pace as consumers, which is probably good because injuries and even deaths were happening. The crowd waiting to get into a Walmart store was so intense in 2008 that an employee was trampled to death.

How Much Money Do People Typically Spend on Black Friday?

While the pace of in-person shopping has slowed a bit, the facts are that we are STILL spending a bunch of cash on Black Friday. Business Insider stated recently that the average Black Friday shopper will be spending close to $430 in 2024. Over half of those shoppers have moved to buying items online as a result of multiple stores now locking up their storefronts for the Thanksgiving holiday. But the guess is that we will still be spending $10.8 billion this year on Black Friday.

What What The Best Deal You Grabbed On Black Friday?

I used to work in retail and I remember having a pile of snowglobes that we had as doorbuster prizes for the first 100 guests that ran through our doors. Ok...99. I took one home too.

One of the best Black Friday deals that I saw was on Levi jeans and Hypercolor t-shirts. They were extremely popular and the best sale to grab a size you needed was on that busy shopping day.

69% of us now do most of our Black Shopping online but there are about 32% of you that will still be going out to grab those deals in person.

What was the best deal you grabbed on Black Friday? I'd love to hear about your savings! Send me a note to my Facebook page - Jessica On The Radio - or send me an e-mail at jessica.williams@townsquaremedia.com.
